Do you believe that the Us should convert to the metric system explain why or why not

1 answer:

7 0

This is an opinion question so I’ll give both sides.

The US should convert since the rest of the world is using it and it will make communicating ideas and thoughts more easily. This is why the scientific world uses it. The metric system is also easier since it’s based on powers of ten.

Now for the other view...

The US shouldn’t convert since the Imperial system is used at a lot of places. On highway signs, in notebooks, it’s taught in school too. Switching to the metric system would cost a lot of money just changing highway signs and changing units on chip bags and things like that. All Americans would also need to learn a new system too

A conical pile of road salt has a diameter of 112 feet and a slant height of 65 feet. After a storm, the linear dimensions of th

QveST [7]

we know that

the volume of a cone is equal to

$V= \frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2}h$

in this problem

the radius is equal to

$r= \frac{112}{2}= 56ft$

1) Find the height of the cone before the storm

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem find the height

$h^{2} = l^{2}-r^{2}$

$l=65 ft$

$h^{2} = 65^{2}-56^{2}$

$h^{2} = 1,089$

$h=33 ft$

2) Find the volume before the storm

$V= \frac{1}{3}*\pi* 56^{2}*33$

$V=34,496\pi\ ft^{3}$

3) Find the volume after the storm

After a storm, the linear dimensions of the pile are 1/3 of the original dimensions

r=(56/3) ft

h=(33/3)=11 ft

$V= \frac{1}{3}*\pi* (56/3)^{2}*11$

$V= 1,277.63\pi\ ft^{3}$

4) Find how this change affect the volume of the pile

Divide the volume after the storm by the volume before the storm

$\frac{1,277.63 \pi }{34,496 \pi } = \frac{1}{27}$

therefore

the answer part a) is

The volume of the pile after the storm is $\frac{1}{27}$ times the original volume

Part b) Estimate the number of lane miles that were covered with salt

5) Find the amount of salt that was used during the storm

$=34,496 \pi - 1,277.63 \pi \\= 33.218.37 \pi \\= 104,358.59\ ft^{3}$

6) Find the pounds of road salt used

$104,358.59*80=8,348,687.2\ pounds$

7) Find the number of lane miles that were covered with salt

$8,348,687.2/350=23,853.39 \ lane\ miles$

therefore

the answer part b) is

the number of lane miles that were covered with salt is $23,853.39 \ lane\ miles$

Part c) How many lane miles can be covered with the remaining salt? Round your answer to the nearest lane mile

the remaining salt is equal to $1,277.63\pi\ ft^{3}$

$1,277.63\pi\ ft^{3}=4,013.79\ ft^{3}$

8) Find the pounds of road salt

$4,013.79*80=321,103.20\ pounds$

9) Find the number of lane miles

$321,103.20/350=917.44 \ lane\ miles$

therefore

the answer part c) is

the number of lane miles is $917 \ lane\ miles$
