Answer:

Total number of pages is 540.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let mark read x be he number of pages per day and d be the number of days to finish the book.

Total number of pages = xd

Mark reads 18 pages less per day than originally planned, he will need 5 extra days to finish the book.

$(x-18)(d+5)=xd$

$xd+5x-18d-90=xd$

$5x-18d=90$ .... (1)

He reads 24 pages less per day, he will need 8 extra days to finish.

$(x-24)(d+8)=xd$

$xd+8x-24d-192=xd$

$8x-24d=192$

$x-3d=24$ ... (2)

Subtract 5 times of equation (2) from equation (1).

$5x-18d-5(x-3d)=90-5(24)$

$5x-18d-5x+15d=90-120$

$-3d=-30$

$d=10$

Substitute d=10 in equation (1).

$5x-18(10)=90$

$5x-180=90$

$5x=90+180$

$5x=270$

Divide both sides by 5.

$x=54$

Total number of pages

$xd=(54)(10)=540$

Therefore , the total number of pages is 540.

Determine the volume of the figure. Use 3.14 for π. Round your answer to the nearest tenth. Show all of your work.

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

1985 cubic units (written as un. with the cubed exponent)

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you find the volume of the cylinder

Here's the formula:

$V=\pi r^{2}h\\V=volume\\r=radius\\h=height$

Now, you plug in and solve.

$V=(3.14)(7.2^{2})(7.4)\\V=(3.14)(51.84)(7.4)\\V=(162.7776)(7.4)\\V=1204.55424\\rounded:\\V=1204.6$

Then, you find the volume of the dome.

Here's the formula:

$volume/of/a/sphere=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}\\volume/of/a/dome:\\V=\frac{2}{3}\pi r^{3} \\V=volume\\r=radius$

Now, you just plug in and solve.

$V=(\frac{2}{3})(\pi)(r^{3})\\V=(\frac{2}{3})(3.14)(7.2^{3})\\V=(\frac{2}{3})(3.14)(373.248)\\V=(2.093)(373.248)\\V=781.208064\\rounded:\\V=781.2$

Finally, you add them together, and there's your answer!

$1204.6+781.2=1985.8$

Hope this helped!

A seal went 25 feet below sea level to catch a fish. A sea lion dove 10 feet less than three times as deep as the seal to catch

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

65 feet below sea level.

Step-by-step explanation:

With the information provided, we can create the following equation for the position of the sea lion (p)

p = 3x - 10

In this equation, x would be the final position of the seal when it caught the fish. Since we are told that the seal's position is 25 feet below sea level then we can plug in this value as x and solve for p...

p = (3 * 25) - 10

p = 75 - 10

p = 65

Finally, we can see that the sea lion's position is 65 feet below sea level.

An integer is chosen between 0 and 100. What is the probability that it is divisible by 7?

IgorC [24]

Assuming 0 and 100 are included in the possible choices:

There are $\left\lfloor\dfrac{101}7\right\rfloor=14$ multiples of 7 between 0 and 100, so there is a $\dfrac{14}{101}\approx0.1386$ probability of choosing a multiple of 7.
