The individual-size box of cereal is a rectangular prism with a volume of 44.625 inches³.
<h3>What is the volume of a rectangular prism?</h3>
The volume of rectangular prism of length l, width w and height h is given by:
V = lwh.
In this problem, the standard dimensions are:
- l = 3(1/2) = 3 + 0.5 = 3.5 inches.
- w = 8(1/2) = 8 + 0.5 = 8.5 inches.
The individual-size box has a 1/10 of the volume of the original box, hence:
V = 0.1 x 3.5 x 8.5 x 15 = 44.625 inches³.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
y = ab^x where 0<b<1 for exponential decay
an example would be y = 3(1/7)^x
Answer:
x = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
x multiplied by 0.4 = 6
so you divide 0.4 by each side
x = 6/0.4
and plug that into the calculator.
Answer: 12 friends.
Step-by-step explanation:
the data we have is:
Mei Su had 80 coins.
She gave the coins to her friends, in such a way that every friend got a different number of coins, then we have that:
The maximum number of friends that could have coins is when:
friend 1 got 1 coin
friend 2 got 2 coins
friend 3 got 3 coins
friend N got N coins
in such a way that:
(1 + 2 + 3 + ... + N) ≥ 79
I use 79 because "she gave most of the coins", not all.
We want to find the maximum possible N.
Then let's calculate:
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 15
15 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 = 55
now we are close, lets add by one number:
55 + 11 = 66
66 + 12 = 78
now, we can not add more because we will have a number larger than 80.
Then we have N = 12
This means that the maximum number of friends is 12.
