Jerry wants to compare the volume of cones when the dimensions change. He states the volume of the cone is four times greater when the height and radius are doubled.

Explain the error in Jerry's reasoning.

Answer:

See detailed explanation below

Step-by-step explanation:

Error: volume of cone when dimensions are doubled is 8 times of the original cone.

Proof: 

Volume of cone V = πr²h/3 

V ∝ r²h (since π and 3 are constants) 

Let V1, r1 and h1 are the volume, radius and height of the first cone respectively.

And Let V2, r2 and h2 are the volume, radius and height of the second cone (with 2× dimensions of 1st cone i.e. r2 = 2r1 and h2 = 2h1) respectively.  

V2/V1 = (r1)²h1/(r2)²h2 

= (r1)²h1/(2r1)²(2h1)

= (r1)²h1/8(r1)²h1 

V2/V1 = 1/8

V2 = 8V1

Answer: 440 grams for 1.54 is the better value
Explanation:
Take the price and divide by the number of grams
1.54 / 440 =0.0035 per gram
1.26 / 340 =0.003705882 per gram
0.0035 per gram < 0.003705882 per gram

Cost of 7 gallons=$24.50

Cost of 1 gallon=24.50/7=3.5

Cost of 15 gallons=15*3.5=52.5

Cost of 15 gallons will be $52.5

The wood before starting =12 feet

Left wood=6 feet

Wood used till now=12-6=6 feet

Picture frame built till now= 6/(3/4)

=8 pieces

Therefore, till now 8 pieces have been made.
