Answer:

The answer is:

Volume=1440ft\\or\\Volumen =17280inches

Step-by-step explanation:

In first place you sould consider that the semi-truck trailer is a rectangular prism. The volume of a rectangular prism is obtain by:

Volume=height*base area\\Base area= a*b \\a; width\\b; long

The width is 8 feet and the long is 20 feet, which means:

Base Area= 8*20=160 ft

Now the height is given in inches, we need all the values in inches or in feet. 1 inch is equal to 0.0833333 feet. To trasform the height to feet we apply The Rule of Three:

1in -0.0833333ft\\108in-x\\x=\frac{108*0.0833333}{1} =9ft

So the volume is given by the following equation:

Volume= 9*160=1440ft

To transform the volume to inches we just multiply by 12:

Volumen=1440*12=17280inches

Given Information:

Height of trailer = h = 108 inches

Width of trailer = w = 8 feet

Length of trailer = L = 20 feet

Required Information:

Volume of trailer = V = ?

Answer:

Volume of trailer = 1440 ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know that this trailer has same shape as that of a rectangular prism, we can find the volume of the trailer by using,

V = bh

Where b is the base area of the trailer and h is the height.

b = w*L

b = 8*20

b = 160 ft²

Please note that it is important to have same units throughout the problem. Since the unit is not specifically mentioned, we can either convert all quantities into inches or feet.

We know that 1 foot has 12 inches so

h = 108/12 = 9 feet

V = bh

V = 160*9

V = 1440 ft³

Therefore, the volume of the semi-truck trailer is 1440 ft³

Answer:

109

Step-by-step explanation:

You can brute-force this:

Candidate numbers that are divisable by 13 if you take away 5: 18 , 31 , 44 , 57 , 70 , 83 , 96 , <u>109 </u>, 122 , 135 , 148

Candidate numbers that are divisable by 14 if you take away 11: 25 , 39 , 53 , 67 , 81 , 95 , <u>109 </u>, 123 , 137

Only 109 is in both lists.

Answer:

See explanation below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say,

x = number of tokens required to play one game of ping pong

y = number of token required play one game of pinball

Using the data given, the system of equations are:

\begin{bmatrix}9x+5y=29\\ 3x+y=7\end{bmatrix}

Solving the system of equations using substitution method will give us:

y=4\:\:\:,\:\:\:x=1

So, one game of ping pong required 1 token, whereas one game of pinball required 4 tokens.

Solve: 3x - 1 = 8(x + 1) + 1
amm1812

Answer:

x=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

3x-1=8x+8+1

3x-1 = 8x+9

3x-1+1=8x+9+1

3x= 8x+10

3x-8x=8x+10-8x

-5x=10

-5x ÷-5

10 ÷-5

x=-2

Calculate the number of acres required to produce 1,000 gallons of oil in one year from microalgae and soybeans. Which one (micr
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

microalgae required less space.

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of oil to be produced = 1,000 gallons

Now,

We know

10,000 gallons of oil is extracted from the miroalgae per acre per year

and,

From soyabeans the oil extracted = 50 gallons per acre per year

therefore,

To produce 1,000 gallons number of acres required by microalgae

= [ Amount of oil to be produced ] ÷ [ oil extracted per acre from microalgae]

= 1,000 ÷ 10,000

= 0.1 acres

similarly

To produce 1,000 gallons number of acres required by soyabeans

= [ Amount of oil to be produced ] ÷ [ oil extracted per acre from soyabeans]

= 1,000 ÷ 50

= 20 acres

hence,

microalgae required less space.
