Answer:

You need to buy 6.5 cubic yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to put a 5 inch thick layer of topsoil for a new 23 ft by 18 ft garden.

We know 1 yard = 3 feet or 1 yard = 36 inches

Then 1 inch = 1/36 yard.

1 feet = 1/3 yard

The volume of the layer of the topsoil is given by:

= 5(1/36)(23)(1/3)(18)(1/3) cubic yards

2070/324=6.39 cubic yards

Now, the store only sells increments of 1/4 = 0.25 cubic yards.

So, we need to buy 6.39/0.25=25.56 increments

Rounded to 26 increments.

Therefore, we need to buy 26 increments of 1/4 cubic yards.

That becomes 6.5 cubic yards.

5 inches = 5/12 = 0.4166 feet

23 x 18 x 0.4166 = 172.5 cubic feet

1 cubic foot = 0.037037 cubic yards

172.5 x 0.037037 = 6.39 round up to 6.5 cubic yards

Is a triangle with two congruent sides always have 45 45 and 90 degrees?
Alex Ar [27]
No.  Two angles will have to be the same and the third angle will just be 180° minus twice the smaller angles.

So if we let the equal angles equal a, and the large angle equal be we have:

2a+b=180

So there are infinitely many values that a and b can have.

a=(180-b)/2, so the smaller equal angles have the range (0,90)

b=180-2a, so the larger has a range of (0,180)

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

Seven  

Step-by-step explanation:

Let G7, G8, and G9 be the numbers of students in the respective grades.

Then, G7 + G8 + G9 = LCM of G8 and G9

<em>Data: </em>

G8 = 5

G9 = 3

<em>Calculations: </em>

<em>Multiples of 5</em>: 1 2          10 15

<em>Multiples of 3</em>: 1   3 6 9       15

The <em>LCM</em> of 5 and 3 is 15.

G7 + 5 + 3 = 15     Combine like terms

     G7 + 8 = 15     Subtract 8 from each side

           G7 = 7

There are seven students in Grade 7.
