Answer:

694 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Dimension of prism

Length = 15.5 inches

width =  8 inches

height =  7 inches

Volume of regular prism is given  by area of base * height

area of base  = length * width ( as bin is rectangular)

area of base  = 15.5 * 8 square inches = 124 square inches

Volume of regular prism = area of base * height

      = 124 * 7 cubic inches = 868 cubic inches

_________________________________________________

868 cubic inches is the full capacity of the recycling bin

it is given that recycling bins need to be emptied when it is 80% full

so we need to find the 80% capacity of recycling bin

80% capacity of recycling bin = 80/100 *  full capacity of the recycling bin

                  = 0.8 * 868 cubic inches = 694.4 cubic inches

694.4 cubic inches is the amount needed before the recycle bin is ready to empty .

But question says answer should in nearest cubic inch

hence answer is 694 cubic inches

Shannon feeds her cat twice a day. In the morning, she feeds her cat one can of cat food. In the evening, she feeds her cat one
saul85 [17]

Each can of cat food holds <u>4 ounces</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

We shall assign the ounces of one can as; x

Since the cat is fed  1 can in the morning and 1 and ½ cans in the evening, then the cat eats;

x + ³/2 x ounces per day

This is also equal to 10 ounces

x + ³/2 x = 10

⁵/2 x = 10

x = 10 * ²/5

x = 4

= 4 ounces

To solve this you'll plug in the ordered pairs and if the answer is equal then it is the answer.

A: 2 = 3(0) - 2
     2 = 0 - 2 
     2 ≠ -2

B: 1 = 3(1) - 2
     1 = 3 - 2
      1 = 1

C: 1 = 3(-3) - 2
      1 = -9 - 2
       1 ≠ -11

D: 0 = 3(2) - 2
     0 = 6 - 2
     0 ≠ 4

So the answer choice B is the solution to the given equation.

Hope this helps :)
