At first, I thought this was going to be a dog of a bear of a problem,
but then I fixated it with my steely burning gaze and it fell apart for me.
The volume of a pyramid is (1/3) (base area) (height)
Each of these pyramids has the same base area and the
same height, so ...
Volume of the lower pyramid = (1/3) (base area) (height)
Volume of the upper pyramid = (1/3) (base area) (height)
Combined volume of both pyramids = (2/3) (base area) (height) .
Now, how do the pyramids relate to the rectangular prism ?
Their base area is (length x width) of the prism, and
their height is (1/2 the height) of the prism.
From here, we'll work with the dimensions of the prism ... L, W, and H .
Combined volume of the pyramids = (2/3) (L x W) (1/2 H)
= (1/3) (L x W x H) .
Volume of the prism = (L x W x H)
The pyramids occupy 1/3 the volume of the prism.
The ratio is 1/3 .
Answer:
The percentage increase in the cost of Boris car insurance cost is 249%
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we want to calculate the percentage increase in the cost of car insurance paid by Boris
Mathematically, to calculate this percentage increase, we shall need to make use of a mathematical formula.
Mathematically, the percentage increase would be;
{(new value paid-old value paid)/old value paid} * 100%
From the question, we can identify that the old value paid is £256 while the new value paid is £894
Thus, the percentage increase would be ;
(894-256)/256 * 100% = 638/256 * 100 = 2.4921875 * 100 = 249.21875 which is 249% increase to the nearest whole percentage
Converting feet to inches, 8*12=96 and 96*4=384. Next, 40*12=480. Since 384*x (if x represents the cost per inch of crown molding)=16*100=1600 cents due to that for every inch, we add x amount of money, we can find x to be 1600/384=800/192=400/96=200/48=100/24=50/12=25/6 by simply dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2 each time. Since we add x amount of money for every inch, and we have 480 inches, 480*x=480*25/6=2000 cents=2000/100=20 dollars is our answer
