Lizette wanted to see if it would be possible to use a little less materials in a tea infuser but still not be required to be at

full capacity. Her rectangular pyramidal tea infuser would be 7 cm high, 3 cm long and 1.5 cm wide. The tea infuser from the example, was the same except 7.9 cm high and was filled to 80% capacity.
Would these dimensions work, if so to what percent would Lizette's infusers have to be filled to use the same amount of tea?

Considering the volume of a rectangular prism, since the new volume is greater than the filled volume, the new dimensions would work, and 90.29% of the infuser would be filled.

<h3>What is the volume of a rectangular prism?</h3>


The volume of a rectangular prism of length l, width w and height h is given by:

V = lwh.

The original dimensions are:

h = 7.9 cm, l = 3 cm, w = 1.5.

Hence the volume in cm³ was:

V = 7.9 x 3 x 1.5 = 35.55 cm³.

The infuser was filled to 80% capacity, hence:

Vf = 0.8 x 35.55 = 28.44 cm³.

For the new dimensions, we have that h = 7 cm, hence the volume is:

Vn = 7 x 3 x 1.5 = 31.5 cm³.

28.44/31.5 x 100% = 90.29%.

Since the new volume is greater than the filled volume, the new dimensions would work, and 90.29% of the infuser would be filled.

How do I solve equations with fractions?
ratelena [41]

2y - 3/5 = 1/2

  • Add 3/5 to both sides.

2y = 1/2 + 3/5

  • Let's make the two fractions have common denominators.
  • Multiply 1/2 by 5/5 and 3/5 by 2/2.
  • 1/2 * 5/5 = 5/10
  • 3/5 * 2/2 = 6/10

2y = 5/10 + 6/10

Add the two fractions.

2y = 11/10

Divide both sides by 2.

  • 11/10 ÷ 2
  • Use the Keep, Change, Flip method.
  • Keep 11/10, change ÷ to ×, and flip the 2 (reciprocal).
  • 11/10 × 1/2 = 11/20

y = 11/20
