x²-11x+24=0
(x+3)(x-8)=0
x=-3, x=8

A cupcake is 3 inches wide , 3 inches long , 3 inches high . How many cupcakes will fit in a box measuring 15 inches high , 7 cm
Volgvan

Answer:

23 cupcakes

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume is the key to this question;

Calculate the volume of the cupcake;

3 × 3 × 3 = 27 inches^3

Then the volume of the box;

15 × 7 × 6 = 630 inches^3

Then divide the volume of the box by the volume of the cupcake to see how many can fit in;

630 ÷ 27 = 23.3333

;Hence you can fit... 23 cupcakes

A tape diagram. There are 65 students out of 100 students who ride the bus. There are question mark students out of 800 students
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

<em>800÷100 = 8</em>

<em>65×8=520</em>

\frac{520}{800}

another way:

<em>100%-65%=35%</em>

<em>35% = 0.35</em>

<em>800×0.35= 280</em>

<em>800-280=</em>520

another way:

<em>65% = 0.65</em>

<em>0.65×800=</em>520

Hope it helped! :)
