Answer:

Mrs. Wright's paycheck is $630

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = Mrs. Wright's paycheck.

Mrs. Wright spent 2/9 of her paycheck on food. This means that the amount of money spent on food is 2/9 × x = 2x/9

She spent 1/3 on rent. This means that the amount spent on rent is

1/3 ×x x = x/3

Amount she spent on food and rent is x/3 + 2x/9 =3x + 2x /9

= 5x/9

The remainder is her pay check - the amount that she spent on food and rent. It becomes

x - 5x/9 = (9x- 5x)/9 = 4x/9

She spent 1/4 of the remainder on transportation. It means that she spent 1/4 × 4x/9 = x /9 on transportation.

Amount left = 4x /9 - x/9= 3x/9

She had $210 left. Therefore,

210 = 3x/9

3x = 9×210 = 1890

x = 1890/3

x = $630

Each cone of the hourglass has a height of 15 millimeters. The total height of the sand within the top portion of the hourglass
BARSIC [14]
Calculate the volume of sand, the cone will be completely filled and the cylinder will have sand up to the 30 mm level.

Volume of sand will = the volume of the cone:
= 1/3 * pi * (6 mm)^2 * 15
= 1/3 * pi * 36 * 15 =180 pi cubic mm

the cylinder will have a volume of sand equal to:
= pi * (6 mm)^2 * 30 mm
= pi * 36 sq mm * 30 mm 
= 1080 pi cubic mm

The total sand is the sum:
= 1080 pi cubic mm +180 pi cubic mm
= 1260 pi cubic mm. <span>

Find the diameter of a circle with an area of 226.98 square inches
Thepotemich [5.8K]

We are given here Area of circle as 226.98 square inches.

Formula to find area of circle is given as :

Area of circle = \pi r^{2}

plugging value of A as 226.98 square inches and pi as 3.14, we have

226.98 = (3.14) r^{2}

72.3 =  r^{2}

r=8.5

Now we know that diameter = 2 * radius.

multiplying radius with 2 we have 8.5*2 = 17

Answer : Diameter is 17 inches.

The table shows the ratio between the number of books ordered and their cost: Find equivalent ratios when the number of books or
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

The table shows the ratio between the number of books ordered and their cost: Number of Books Cost (dollars) 7 21 8 24 9 27 Find equivalent ratios when the number of books ordered is 1, 2, and 3. Write them as ordered pairs in the form (x-coordinate, y-coordinate). Starting from the origin, explain how to plot the three equivalent ratios on a coordinate grid.

Answer: Let the number of books be represented as x and the cost (dollars) be represented as y. From the table the ordered pairs in the form (x, y) can be gotten. (7, 21), (8, 24), (9, 27). To get the relationship between the number of books and the cost, we can use the formula of a straight line.

Using point (7, 21) and (8, 24):

y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} (x-x_1)\\\\y-21=\frac{24-21}{8-7}(x-7)\\ \\y-21=3(x-7)\\\\y=3x-21+21\\\\y=3x

When the number of books ordered is 1, 2, 3 the following pairs are:

For x = 1.     y = 3x = 3(1) = 3

For x = 2     y=3x = 3(2) = 6

For x = 3     y = 3x = 3(3) = 9

The ordered pairs are (1, 3), (2, 6), (3, 9)

The graph is attached

To plot the ordered pairs, the number of books are plotted on the x coordinate and the cost on the y coordinate
