Answer:
Total distance mouse traveled in 3 hours = 
of a mile
The mouse traveled the same distance in each hour. So in order to find the distance covered in 1 hour we have to divide the distance covered in 3 hours by 3. This will give us the distance that the mouse traveled in one hour.
So, the distance traveled in one hour will be = 
of a mile
The error which Matt made was that he divided only the denominator of the expression by 3, this probably was a calculation error.
Correct conclusion will be: Mouse travel 1/24 of a mile each hour
The correct question is
<span>The radius of a cylinder is 5" and the lateral area is 70pi sq. in. Find the length of the altitude.
</span>
we know that
[surface lateral area]=(2*pi*r)*height
height= [surface lateral area]/(2*pi*r)
surface lateral area=70*pi in²
r=5 in
so
height= [70*pi]/(2*pi*5)------> 7 in
the answer is
7 in
The problem is modelled in the diagram below
Question 1:
The largest area of the pool is half of the area of the circle
Area of circle = πr², where r is the radius given by 1/2 of the diameter
Area of circle = π(60)² = 11309.73355 feet
Area of half of the circle is 11309.73355/2 = 5654.866... ≈ 5654.87 feet (2dp)
Question b:
The area of the pool is the area of the circle subtracts the area of the triangle.
The area of the circle is 11309.73²
The area of the triangle is 1/2 (60×103.92) = 3117.6 feet²
The area of the pool is 11309.73 - 3117.6 = 7922.13 feet²
The volume of the pool = 7922.13 × 4 = 31688.52 feet³
Note: there isn't any information on the fish tank part so the answer above is assumed for the whole pool.
Let C be the amount of compost
T be the amount of topsoil
Each compost cost = $25
Cost of C compost = 25C
Each topsoil cost = $15
Cost of T topsoil = 15T
Amount of compost + amount of topsoil = 10
C + T = 10 -------> Equation 1
cost of C compost + cost of T topsoil = 180
25C + 15T = 180 --------> equation 2
Solve the first equation for C
C + T = 10
C = 10 - T
Now plug it in second equation
25C + 15T = 180
25 ( 10 - T) +15T = 180
250 - 25T + 15T = 180 (combine like terms)
250 - 10 T = 180 (Subtract 250 on both sides)
-10T = 180 - 250
-10T = -70 ( divide by -10 on both sides)
T = 7
She purchased 7 cubic yards of topsoil .
