A container built for transatlantic shipping is constructed in the shape of a right rectangular prism. Its dimensions are 7.5 ft

by 11.5 ft by 3 ft. If the container is entirely full and, on average, its contents weigh 0.15 pounds per cubic foot, find the total weight of the contents. Round your answer to the nearest pound if necessary.

Considering the definition of right rectangular prism and its volume,  the total weight of the contents is 38.81 pounds.

<h3>Right rectangular prism</h3>

A right rectangular prism (or cuboid) is a polyhedron whose surface is formed by two equal and parallel rectangles called bases and by four lateral faces that are also parallel rectangles and equal two to two.

<h3>Volume of right rectangular prism</h3>

To calculate the volume of the rectangular prism, it is necessary to find the product of its dimensions, or of the three edges that converge at a certain vertex.

That is, to calculate the volume of a rectangular prism, multiply its 3 dimensions: length×width×height.

<h3>Volume of the container </h3>

In this case, you know that:

  • the dimensions of the container built are 7.5 ft by 11.5 ft by 3 ft.
  • the container is entirely full and, on average, its contents weigh 0.15 pounds per cubic foot.

So, the volume of the container is calculated as:

7.5 ft× 11.5 ft× 3 ft= <u><em>258.75 ft³</em></u>

Then, the total weight of the contents is calculated as:

258.75 ft³×  0.15 pounds per cubic foot= <u><em>38.8125 pounds≅ 38.81 pounds</em></u>

Finally, the total weight of the contents is 38.81 pounds.

A softball coach has ordered softballs for two different leagues. The Junior League uses
dedylja [7]

The number of 11-inch softball is 70 and the number of 12-inch softball is 50.

<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:

<u>Given that,</u>

  • The cost of 11-inch softball = $2.50
  • The cost of 12-inch softball = $3.50

<u>Let us assume,</u>

  • The number of 11-inch softball be 'x'.
  • The number of 12-inch softball be 'y'.

<u>Forming the equation to solve x and y values :</u>

  • The total number of softball ordered = 120
  • The total cost for 120 softballs = $350

x + y = 120  -------(1)

2.5x + 3.5y = 350   --------(2)

<u>Multiply eq(1) by 2.5 and subtract eq(2) from eq(1)</u>,

 2.5x +2.5y = 300

-<u>(2.5x +3.5y = 350)</u>

  <u>        -1y     =  -50</u>

Therefore the value of y = 50.

The number of 12-inch softball is 50.

<u>Substitute y=50 in eq(1),</u>

x+50 = 120

x = 120-50

x = 70

The number of 11-inch softball is 70.
