Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 6×6=36 and 18×2=36

i.e. 6 pack cookies cannot exceed 6 and 18 pack cookies cannot exceed 2 in order to buy 36 cookies.

Now making combinations:

Buying 6 6 cookie pack and 0 18 cookie pack and 0 single cookies

Buying 5 6 cookie pack and 0 18 cookie pack and 6 single cookies

Buying 4 6 cookie pack and 0 18 cookie pack and 12 single cookies

Buying 3 6 cookie pack and 1 18 cookie pack and 0 single cookies

Buying 3 6 cookie pack and 0 18 cookie pack and 18 single cookies

Buying 2 6 cookie pack and 0 18 cookie pack and 24 single cookies

Buying 2 6 cookie pack and 1 18 cookie pack and 6 single cookies

Buying 1 6 cookie pack and 0 18 cookie pack and 30 single cookies

Buying 1 6 cookie pack and 1 18 cookie pack and 12 single cookies

Buying 0 6 cookie pack and 0 18 cookie pack and 36 single cookies

Buying 0 6 cookie pack and 1 18 cookie pack and 18 single cookies

Buying 0 6 cookie pack and 2 18 cookie pack and 0 single cookies

Hence, the total number of ways we can buy 36 cookies is:

Since the smaller one is 1/2 the size (as shown in the measurement on the bottom) I would divide the other area by 2 as well, so the answer is 12 I believe

The prism is (8 in)/(1/4 in/cube) = 32 cubes by (4 in)/(1/4 in/cube) = 16 cubes by (9/4 in)/(1/4 in/cube) = 9 cubes.

The number of cubes needed to fill the prism is

(Help Please)

slava [35]

Irst thought: since he needs 7 3/4 tons, and each load can carry LESS than a ton, he'll need to make MORE than 7 3/4 loads. So when you get your answer, make sure it it passes that common sense test. Next: He's got to divide the 7 3/4 ton total among all those loads, 3/4 ton at a time. So he needs to divide: 7 3/4 divided by 3/4. It will be easier to do the math if we turn 7 3/4 into an improper fraction, which will be 31/4. So we have to divide 31/4 divided by 3/4, which will give us 10, with 1/4 left over, for a total of 10 1/4 loads. BUT: the wording is that each load carries AT MOST 3/4 ton, so he may carry less than that amount in any given load(s). So he needs to do an amount GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO 10 3/4 loads. For practical purposes, that means he has to fill his truck (at least part way) 11 different times. (Think of it as completely filled the first 10 times, and 3/4 filled on the 11th/final time.)
