i have a pdf file of the worksheet I am working on. Can I post it and have someone look at it?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I tried to attach a file but I don't think it worked.

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

what kind of questions are on the worksheet ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They are word problems. I just went back to school for the first time since 2001. This is the first homework I was given in this class and I am so lost.

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

can you copy, paste, a single question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Here is one: A candy company makes chocolates in the shape of solid cones. The original machine for making these chocolates processed chocolate at the rate of 100 kg per hour. The individual chocolate measured 1.5 cm across the base and 2 cm high. Now three new machines are being installed to make three other sizes, listed below. The three new machines will all produce the same number of pieces per hour as the original machine, but they will process chocolate at different rates, because the cones have different volumes. How much chocolate will each new machine process per hour? a. Diameter = 2.0 cm Height = 2.0 cm b. D= 2.5 cm H= 3.5 cm c. D=3.5 cm H= 3.5 cm I am reading this over and over and I honestly don't even know where to begin. It just doesn't make any sense to me.

I know that the volume of a cone formula is V=1/3(3.14)r^2h but I don't even know where to start with this. I am so confused.

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

how many cones of each size can be made with 100 kg

OpenStudy (anonymous):

84.88?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

for which size?
