How many cups of sorbet are used in 8 cups of punch?

Mathematics
1 answer:
tekilochka [14]2 years ago
4 0
Given that 8 cups equals 100% of this punch, we need to figure out how many coups does 15% of sorbet make. This is how we do this:
8 (cups) : 100% (the entire amount of punch) = x (the number of sorbet cups) : 15% (the amount of sorbet used)
So:
x : 15 = 8 : 100
100x = 15 * 8
100x = 120
x = 1.2
The answer is 1.2 cups of sorbet were used in this punch.

The radius of a cylindrical construction pipe is 1.5ft . If the pipe is 14ft long, what is its volume? Use the value 3.14 for π
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

Volume of cylinder =989 ft cube

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Volume of cylinder</u>

Volume V = πr²h

r - radius and h - height

It is given that,

The radius of a cylindrical construction pipe is 1.5ft and

Length of pipe = 14 ft

<u>To find volume of cylinder</u>

Volume V = πr²h

V = 3.14 x 1.5 x1.5 x 14 =989.1 ≈ 989 ft cube

The table shows the solution to the equation |2x − 5| − 2 = 3:
Reil [10]
First add 2 to both sides, next add 2 + 3 to get 5, next break down the equation into two problems which would be 2x - 5 = 5 and -(2x - 5) = 5, NOT 2x - 5 = -5, so this is the FIRST incorrect step, while step 4 is incorrect because its suppose to be 2x = 5 not 10, that's the second step, not first so answer is:

Answer: A) Step 3.

I talk to an average of 8 customers per hour during an 8 hour shift and need to increase the amount of customers i help by 20%,
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

The number of customer needed to achieve is 34

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The number of customer per hour = 8

The time taken = 8 hours

The rate of increase = 20 %

Let The increase in number of customer after 20 % increment = x

So ,  The number of customer after n hours = initial number × (1+\dfrac{\textrm rate}{100})^{n}

or, The number of customer after 8 hours = 8 ×  (1+\dfrac{\textrm 20}{100})^{8}

or, The number of customer after 8 hours = 8 × 4.2998

∴The number of customer after 8 hours = 34.39 ≈ 34

Hence The number of customer needed to achieve is 34  answer

David proved the Law of Cosines with reference to ∆ABC using a different method. Arrange the steps of his proof in the correct s
AURORKA [14]

Answer: We can arrange the steps with help of below explanation.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Here ABC is a triangle,

Draw a perpendicular from BD to side AC ( construction)

where D\in AC

In the right triangle BCD, from the definition of cosine:

cos C =CD/ BC

CD= a cos C

Subtracting this from the side b, we see that

DA= b-acos C  

In the triangle BCD, from the definition of sine:

sin C =BD  / a

BD = a sin C  

In the triangle ADB, applying the Pythagorean Theorem

c^2  =BD^2 +DA^2  

Substituting for BD and DA from (2) and (3)

c^2 =(asinC)^2 +(b-acosC)^2  

⇒c^2 =a^2sin ^2C+b^2-2ab cosC+a^2 cos ^2C   ( On simplification)

⇒c^2 =a^2sin ^2C+a^2 cos ^2C+b^2-2abcos C

⇒c^2=a^2(sin^2C+cos^2C) +b^2-2abcosC

⇒c^2 = a^2+b^2-2abcosC (because,sin^2\theta+cos^2\theta =1 )
