Answer:

15 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Capacity of mixer = 681 kg

Pounds per bag of cement = 100 pounds

Number of bags mixer can hold =?

Converting the capacity of mixer to pounds :

1kg = 2.205 pounds

681 kg = (681 * 2.205) pounds = 1501.605 pounds

Number of 100 pound bag of cement :

Capacity in pounds / 100 pounds

1501.605 / 100

= 15.016

= 15 bags of 100 pound cement

A cylinder shaped dispenser holds 5,652 cubic centimeters of liquid soap and is now full. The radius of the dispenser is 7.5 cen

attashe74 [19]

We know that

[volume of cylinder]=pi*r²*h------------> h=[volume of cylinder]/(pi*r²)
Volume=5652 cm³
r=7.5 cm
so
h=[5652]/(3.14*7.5²)-----------> h=32 cm

the height of the soap in the full dispenser is 32 cm

the height when 4,239 cubic centimeters of soap remains in the dispenser is
h=[4239]/(3.14*7.5²)-----------> h=24 cm

hence

the difference is 32-24--------> 8 cm

the answer is
8 cm

Show one way to count from $82 to $512

Sedaia [141]

First way:
The easiest and simplest way is to count by 1 starting from 82 till you reach 512.
This will go as follows:
82, 83, 84, 85, ........... , 510, 511, 512

Second way:
We can note that the two given numbers are even numbers. This means that the two numbers are divisible by 2.
Therefore, we can count by 2 starting from 82 till we reach 512.
This will go as follows:
82, 84, 86, 88, ................... , 508, 510, 512

Third way:
We can note that the units digit in both numbers is the same (the digit is 2). This means that we can count from 82 till 512 by adding 10 each time.
This will go as follows:
82, 92, 102, 112, ......................, 492, 502, 512

Hope this helps :)

Susan, a recent college graduate, makes a base salary of $70,000 per year. Susan has federal income tax withholding of $12,000,

Damm [24]

Answer:

Susan's take-home pay $48,645.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Susan, a recent college graduate, makes a base salary of $70,000 per year. Susan has federal income tax withholding of $12,000, and state tax withholding of $4,000. Employers are required to withhold a 6.2% Social Security tax and a 1.45% Medicare tax.

Now, to find Susan's take-home pay.

Basic salary = $70,000.

Now, her tax withholdings:

Federal income tax = $12,000.

State tax = $4,000.

Social security tax = 6.2% of $70,000.

$=\frac{6.2}{100} \times 70,000\\\\=0.062\times 70,000\\\\=\$4340.$
