The mean that the library and calculated is not correct. Her mistake was she divided 55 by 8 instead of dividing by 10.

Please see the attached picture for the work in finding the correct mean of 5.5 books.

Alenkinab [10]
Each level has 4 castles to conquered. Jackson completed 6.
Let x be the number of remaining levels and y is the total number of castles to defeat

For every x, there are 4 castles to conquered, 4x represents number of remaining levels and corresponding castles.

Since he has already conquered 6 levels 4(6) = 24 so
y=4x+24, A.

Problem 14

<h3>Answer: They bought <u>too much</u> sand</h3>

-----------------------

Explanation:

Because the sandbox is a rectangular prism, aka a block, we multiply the length width and height to get the volume.

Volume = length*width*height = 6*5*1.2 = 36

The volume of the sandbox is 36 cubic feet.

The customer bought 40 cubic feet of sand, which exceeds the volume we computed earlier. The customer bought <u>too much</u> sand.

If it was a choice of buying too much or too little, I think it's better to go overboard just so you don't have to return to the store. The extra amount of sand (40-36 = 4 cubic feet) can possibly sold or donated at a later time.

Problem 15

<h3>Answers:</h3>
  • The equation could be 306.52 = 19.4h or  19.4h = 306.52
  • Either equation mentioned solves to h = 15.8; so the height of the prism is 15.8 meters

-----------------------

Explanation:

The rectangular prism formula to calculate the volume is

Volume = length*width*height

Note that the portion "length*width" can be replaced with "base area", because the base area is a rectangle.

So we can have this alternative formula

Volume = (base area)*height

If we know the area of the floor, and multiply by the height of the wall, then we can calculate the volume of a room like this. In this case, the floor is 19.4 square meters in area. The overall room is 306.52 cubic meters. We'll let h be the height of the wall. Use algebra to solve for h

Volume = (base area)*height

306.52 = 19.4h .... is one equation to set up

19.4h = 306.52

h = 306.52/19.4

h = 15.8

We divide both sides by 19.4 to undo the multiplication going on.

The height of the prism is 15.8 meters.
