A cone-shaped pile of gravel has a diameter of 30 m and a height of 9.1 m.
2 answers:
Answer: The correct option is (A) 2120 m³.
Step-by-step explanation: Given that a cone-shaped pile of gravel has a diameter of 30 m and a height of 9.1 m.
We are to select the correct option that estimate best approximates the volume of the pile of gravel.
The VOLUME of a cone with radius 'r' units and height 'h' units is given by the formula:
In the given cone-shaped pile, diameter of gravel is 30 m, so its radius will be
and height, h = 9.1 m.
Therefore, the volume of the cone-shaped pile is
Out of the given options, only 2120 is the nearest one, so the best approximate will be 2120 m³.
Thus, (A) is the correct option.

** Total distance = 5/8 + 1/2 = 5/8 + 4/8 = 9/8 miles
*** Using the line number to prove the answer:
The line number that represents the problem is in the attached figure.
while the distance between 0 and 1 divided to 8 sections
to represent (5/8) count 5 sections from zero ⇒⇒⇒ point (a)
and to represent (1/2) it is the midpoint between 0 and 1 which mean it is 4 sections but it will be counted from point (a) so, adding 4 sections to point (a) the result will be the point (b)
So, counting from 0 to point (b) will give us 9 sections
and while one section represents (1/8)
So the total distance will be 9 * (1/8) = 9/8 which is agree with the result obtained before

Bernard’s walking speed is 140 meters per minute
Bernard’s walking speed is 8.4 kilometers per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
The pace length P is the distance between the rear of two consecutive footprints
The formula, n P = 140, gives an approximate relationship between n and P where,
- n = number of steps per minute
- P = pace length in meters
- Bernard knows his pace length is 0.80 meters
- The formula applies to Bernard’s walking
We need to calculate Bernard’s walking speed in meters per minute and in kilometers per hour
∵ n = number of steps per minute
∴ n unit is number / minute
∵ P = pace length in meters
∴ P unit is meter
- That means n P unit is meters/minute
∴ n P represents the speed in meters per second
∵ The formula applies to Bernard’s walking
∵ His pace length is 0.80 meters
∵ n P = 140
∴ n(0.8) = 140
- Divide both sides by 0.8
∴ n = 175
- That means he moves 175 steps per minute
∵ The distance he walks in minute = 175 × 0.8 = 140 meters/minute
∴ His speed is 140 meters per minute
Bernard’s walking speed is 140 meters per minute
∵ 1 km = 1000 m
∵ 1 hour = 60 minutes
- Divide the meters by 1000 and the minute by 60 to change
from meters per minute to kilometers per hour
∴ His walking speed = ÷
- Change ÷ to × and reciprocal the fraction after the division sign
∴ His walking speed = ×
= 8.4 km/h
Bernard’s walking speed is 8.4 kilometers per hour
