You would do 2 times 6 and get 12. Then you subtract 12 from -20 and you get -8. so -8 is your answer.

For this question you should notice that you have to multiply first and then add the numbers, also when u multiply two negative number your answer will be positive so the answer is:
-20 + (12) = -8 :)))
I hope this is helpful
have a nice day

A water storage tank has the shape of a cylinder with diameter 14 ft. It is mounted so that the circular cross-sections are vert

andrezito [222]

Answer:

percentage of the total capacity is 75.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello! To solve this problem we follow the following steps

1. draw the complete scheme of the problem (see attached image)

2. To solve this problem we must find the area of the circular sector using the following equation.(c in the second attached image)

$A=\frac{R^2}{2} (\alpha -sin\alpha )$

$\alpha =2arccos(\frac{d}{R})$

3. observing the attached images we replace the values in the equations and find the area of the circular sector, remember that you must transform the angle to radians

$\alpha =2arccos(\frac{5}{7})=88.83$

$A=\frac{R^2}{2} (\alpha -sin\alpha )\\A=\frac{7^2}{2} (88.83-sen88.83)*\frac{\pi rad}{180} =37.57ft^2$

4.we calculate the area of the total circle (At), then subtract the area of the circular sector (Ac) to find the area occupied by water (Aw)

$At=\frac{\pi }{4} (14ft)^2=153.93ft^2$

Aw=At-Ac=153.93-37.57=116.36ft^2

5.Finally, we calculate the percentage that represents the water in the tank by dividing the area of the water over the total area of the tank

$\frac{116.36}{153.93} *100=75.6$

percentage of the total capacity is 75.6%

it takes someone 15 minutes to prepare 3 1/4 cups of juice how many hours would it take to prepare 32 1/2 cups of juice

wariber [46]

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll} minutes&\stackrel{juice}{cups}\\ \cline{1-2} 15&3\frac{1}{4}\\\\ x&32\frac{1}{2} \end{array}\implies \cfrac{15}{x}=\cfrac{3\frac{1}{4}}{32\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{15}{x}=\cfrac{\frac{3\cdot 4+1}{4}}{\frac{32\cdot 2+1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{15}{x}=\cfrac{\frac{13}{4}}{\frac{65}{2}}$

$\bf \cfrac{15}{x}=\cfrac{~~\begin{matrix} 13 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~}{\underset{2}{~~\begin{matrix} 4 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~}}\cdot \cfrac{~~\begin{matrix} 2 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~}{\underset{5}{~~\begin{matrix} 65 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~}}\implies \cfrac{15}{x}=\cfrac{1}{10}\implies 150=x\leftarrow \begin{array}{llll} \textit{150 minutes or}\\\\ \textit{2 hours and a half} \end{array}$
