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

Write an equation in slop-intercept form the line with slope 1/4 and y-intercept -7
Licemer1 [7]

When you write an equation in the slope-intercept form

y=mx+b

the two coefficients m and b represent, respectively, the slope and the intercept.

So, in your case, m=1/4 and b= -7, which leads to the equation

y=\dfrac{1}{4}x-7

When figuring out the amount of mulch would be needed for Alex's back yard, he created an equation that
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

Alex will need 14 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

B= 4(2x+7)+3(2x+7)

and

2x+7=2

First, we should solve the second equation to obtain x:

2x+7=2

2x=2-7

x= -5/2

Then, we use this answer to calculate B:

B=4(2(-5/2)+7)+3(2)

B=4(-5+7)+6

B=4(2)+6

B=8+6

B=14

Alex will need 14 bags
