Answer:

4.25 pound

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio is the quantitative relation between two amounts, which is being compared. In this question we are considering the ratio of weight to time consumed.

At the age 0

Weight = 2 pound

At the age 4 months

Weight = 3.5 pound

Proportion of Change = Change in Weight / Change in time = (3.5 - 2) / (4-0) = 1.5 / 4 = 0.375 pound per month

Weight after 6 months = 2 + (6 x 0.375 pond per month )= 4.25 pound

The volume of the display is 900 cubic inches.  

The formula for the volume of a prism is L x W x H. 

In the small shape, we have:  5 x 5 x 12 = 300
In the large shape, we have:  5 x 5 x 24 = 600

Add them together and we have 900 cubic inches.

Nswer two questions about Systems A AA and B BB: System A AA start text, end text System B BB { − 3 x + 12 y = 15 7 x − 10 y = −
rjkz [21]

Answer:

(Choice C) C Replace one equation with a multiple of itself

Step-by-step explanation:

Since system A has the equations

-3x + 12y = 15 and 7x - 10y = -2 and,

system B has the equations

-x + 4y = 5 and 7x - 10 y = -2.

To get system B from system A, we notice that equation -x + 4y = 5 is a multiple of -3x + 12y = 15 ⇒ 3(-x + 4y = 5) = (-3x + 12y = 15).

So, (-x + 4y = 5) = (1/3) × (-3x + 12y = 15)

So, we replace the first equation in system B by 1/3 the first equation in system A to obtain the first equation in system B.

So, choice C is the answer.

We replace one equation with a multiple of itself.

A sumo wrestling ring is circular and has a circumference of 4.6\pi \text{ meters}4.6π meters4, point, 6, pi, start text, space,
frez [133]

Answer:

The area of the sumo wrestling ring is 5.29 \pi

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference of the circular sumo wrestling ring is 4.6\pi, that means its radius r is:

2\pi r=4.6\pi

r=\frac{4.6}{2} =\boxed{2.3\:meters.}

Now once we have the radius r of the sumo wrestling ring we can find its area A by the following formula:

A=\pi r^2

Putting in the value of r=2.3\:meters we get:

A=\pi (2.3m)^2=\boxed{5.29\pi\:\:m^2}

Therefore the area of the sumo wrestling ring is {5.29\pi\:\:m^2
