Complete Question

Two geometrically similar jugs have volumes of 1000 cm³and 512 cm³.They have circular bases. The diameter of the base of the larger jug is 9 cm.

Calculate the diameter of the smaller jug.

7.2 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the above question,we have the proportion

Smaller volume/ Larger volume = (Smaller diameter/ Larger diameter)³

We are to find the smaller diameter

Hence our formula is give as

Cube root(Smaller volume/ Larger volume)= Smaller diameter/ Larger diameter

=cube root( 512/1000) = x/9

= 8/10 = x/9

Cross Multiply

10x = 8 × 9

10x = 72

x = 72/10

x = 7.2cm

Therefore, the diameter of the second jug is 7.2 cm

345

step-by-step explanation:

a 4/6 = 9/12   not proportional

step-by-step explanation:

to find which are not proportional, we can use cross products

if it is true, they are proportional.   if it is not true, they are not proportional.

a 4/6 = 9/12

4* 12 = 6*9

48 = 54

not this is not proportional  

b 2/3 = 12/18  

2* 18 = 3 * 12

36 = 36

this is proportional

c 5/4 = 10/8  

5*8 = 4*10

40 = 40

this is proportional

d 7/5 = 35/25

7*25 = 5 * 35

175 = 175

is proportional
