Tony separates a number of paintbrushes, x, into 3 equally sized groups. He claims that this is the same as making a group 1/3 t

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

Size of each group = $\frac{x}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of paint brushes = x

Since each the three groups are equally sized, to get the number of paintbrushes in a group, we will have to divide the total number of paint brushes by 3

∴ We have, number of paint brushes in a group = $\frac{Total number of paintbrushes}{3}\\$

= $\frac{x}{3}$

this is also the same thing as saying $\frac{1}{3}$ × $\frac{x}{1}$

This shows that the size of the new group is the same as $\frac{1}{3}$ the size of the original group

If 4/5 of a population of a certain town is considered to be middle class and the population of the town is 2000 how many people

const2013 [10]

First, you would need to create an equation for this problem.
$\frac{4}{5}$ = $\frac{x}{2,000}$

Next, you would cross multiply.
5x = 8,000

Now, all you would have to do is isolate the x. To do this, you would divide both sides by 5.
x = <span>1,600

1,600 people are considered middle class.

The figure below is a right rectangular prism. which expression represents the volume of the prism?

Leviafan [203]

Answer: The expression (equation/formula) for the volume of a:

" right rectangular prism " ; is represented by:

____________________________________________________

→ " V = L * w * h " ;

____________________________________________________

in which: all the dimensions are in the same "units of measurement" (or converted to the same "units of measurement" ;

and in which:

" V " is the "volume" of the right rectangular prism; in the "cubic units" ; or written as: "units³ " ; or, [insert the particular units used}^ ³ " ;

→ that is, [units] raised to the "3rd [third] power" ; assuming these units are the same same "fundamental units of measurement" as the "other 2 (two) values in the expression".

If we are given no specific units of measurement whatsoever, then we use the generic term, "units" as the "units of measurement" ; and we express the "volume; "V" ; of a "right rectangular prism" as: " units ³ " ; or "cubic units" ;

in our answer— if we are asked to solve for the:

"volume; "V"; of a "right rectangular prism" ;

_________________________________________________

and in which:

"L" represents the "length" of a "right rectangular prism" ;

"w" represents the "width" of a "right rectangular prism" ;

"h" represents the "height" of a "right rectangular prism" .

_________________________________________________

To given an example:

Say we have a "right rectangular prism" ; with the given measurements:

width , "w" : w = 2 units;

length, "L" : L = 3 units ;

height, "h" : h = 8 units.

_________________________________________________

We are asked to "find the volume " ; of this "right recentangular prism" .

The formula for the volume; "V" ; of this "right rectangular prism" ;

is:

_________________________________________________

→ Volume = Length * width * height ;

that is:

→ V = L * w * h ;

Solve for the volume; "V" .

_________________________________________________

→ V = L * w * h ; Now plug in the values given:

→ V = (3 units) * (2 units) * (8 units) ;

= 3 * 2 * 8 * (units) * (units) * (units) ;

= 3 * 2 * 8 * units ³ ;

= 48 units ³ .
