First, we must express the ratio of rent to Joel's total earning. 375 out of 1500 in its simplest form is 1/4. To express a value in percentage, we must multiply it to 100. Thus, for this case, we have
1/4 x 100 = 25%
That means, out of a total of 100%, Joel spends 25%<span>of his income on rent.</span>
We have to calculate the volume of the right rectangular prism.
lenght=4 1/2 in=(4+1/2) in=9/2 in
width=5 in
height=3 3/4 in=(3+3/4) in=15/4 in
Volume (right rectangular prism = lenght x width x height.
volume=9/2 in * 5 in * 15/4 in=675/8 in³
we calculate the volume of this little cube.
volume=side³
volume=(1/4 in )³=1/64 in³
Now, we calculate the number of small cubes are needed to fit the right rectangular pris by the rule of three.
1 small cube----------------1/64 in³
x---------------------------------675/8 in³
x=(1 small cube * 675/8 in³) / 1/64 in³=5400 small cubes.
Answer: we need 5400 small cubes to fit the right rectangular prism.
Set XY = XZ and solve for x
3x+5 = 5x-1
6=2x
x = 3
Then XY = 14 and XZ = 14 and YZ = 13.5
XY congruent XZ
