The volume of a rectangular prism or cube is: Length × Width × Height
In this case,
- the length of the prism is 2 feet
- the width of the prism is 1.5 feet
- the height of the prism is 1.5 feet
Multiply the above to find the volume: 2 × 1.5 × 1.5 = 4.5 ft³
Keep in mind that volume is represented in cubic units!
Answer:
-1058
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: 13
Althoug each round trip takes 9 minutes and can carry 5 people on the boat, you can not just divide the 20 minutes time by 9 and multiply by 5 to find the number of people that are saved without getting wet.
First trip:
5 people take the boat to the island but only 4 can stay, because one has to return with the boat to the ship to rescue other 4 people.
So, when 9 minutes have passed, 4 people are safe on the island and the boat is again by the ship.
Second trip:
In the second trip, other 4 people are rescued,along with "sailor" who returned in the boat to rescue them.
When it has passed 18 minutes, the boat is next to the ship agin to carry other 4 people before the boat sinks.
This is the last trip before the boat sinks. So, the total number of passengers rescued is 4 + 4 + 5 = 13
Because that way you can find the answer when you are given a large amount of information and you don't have to guess until you get the answer right.
