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.

one-third of the people from country A claim that they are from country B, and the rest admit they are from country A. One-fourt
In-s [12.5K]

Answer: 3 : 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A represents the total population of country A and B represents the total population of country B.

According to the question,

 \text{The population of country A that admit they are from B} = \frac{1}{3}\text{ of }A

⇒ \text{ The population of A that admit they are from country A }= A - \frac{1}{3} \text{ of } A

= \frac{3-1}{3} A

= \frac{2}{3} A

\text{The population of country B that admit they are from A} = \frac{1}{4}\text{ of }B

⇒ \text{ The total population that claims that they are from A }= \frac{2}{3} A +\frac{1}{4} B

But, Again according to the question,

The total population that claims that they are from A =  one half of the total population of A and B.

⇒ \frac{2}{3} A + \frac{1}{4} B= \frac{1}{2}(A+B)

⇒ \frac{2}{3} A + \frac{1}{4} B= \frac{1}{2}A+\frac{1}{2}B

⇒ \frac{2}{3} A + \frac{1}{4} B= \frac{1}{2}A+\frac{1}{2}B

⇒ \frac{2}{3} A - \frac{1}{2}A= \frac{1}{2}B-\frac{1}{4} B

⇒ \frac{4}{6} A - \frac{3}{6}A= \frac{2}{4}B-\frac{1}{4} B

⇒ \frac{1}{6} A = \frac{1}{4} B

⇒ A =\frac{6}{4}B

⇒ \frac{A}{B} =\frac{3}{2}
