If each lap in a pool is 100 meters long,how many laps equal one mile Round to the nearest tenth.(Hint:1 foot=0.3048 meter) 1 mile = 5280 ft lets do a ratio: 1ft/.3034m = x ft/100m the ft and meters sybols cancel, so 1/.3048 =x/100 so 100/.3038 = x = 329.164 so there are 329.164 ft for every 100 meters to find the number of laps to get to a mile which is 5280, do another ratio 329.164ft/100 m =5280 ft/xm the left side reduces to 3.29164 =5280/x you can compute this and see that 5280/3.29164 = 1604.064 meters 1604.064 meters *1 lap / 100m = 16.04064 laps are required to make a mile

A cylinder has a base area of 28.2 m2 and a height of 3.1 m. Estimate the volume of the cylinder. A) 31 m3 B) 31 m2 Eliminate C)

The answer can't be C or D because the unit of volume is always cubed. The formula for volume of cylinder is (pi)(r^2)(h) . The pi(r^2) part is the formula for area of a circle which is what the base of the cylinder is. Fortunately the area is already given as 28.2. Plug that into the volume formula and plug in 3.1 for the height and multiply. I get 87.42 and the answer choice B seems to be the closest option
