Answer:

a) The volume in cubic inches is 36000

b) The volume in cubic feet is 125/6

c) The volume in cubic yard is 125/162

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets study the information of the problem to solve it

- The dimensions of the piece of cardboard are 90 inches by 70 inches

- The side of the cutting square is 15 inches

- The squares are cutting from each corner

∴ Each dimension of the cardboard will decrease by 2 × 15 inches

∴ The new dimensions of the piece of cardboard are;

90 - (15 × 2) = 90 - 30 = 60 inches

70 - (2 × 15) = 70 - 30 = 40 inches

- The dimensions of the box will be:

# Length = 60 inches

# width = 40 inches

# height = 15 inches

- The volume of any box with three different dimensions is

V = Length × width × height

∵ The length = 60 inches

∵ The width = 40 inches

∵ The height = 15 inches

∴ V = 60 × 40 × 15 = 36000 inches³

a) The volume in cubic inches is 36000

* Now lets revise how to change from inch to feet

- 1 foot = 12 inches

∵ 1 foot = 12 inches

∴ 1 foot³ = (12)³ inches³

∴ 1 foot³ = 1728 inches³

∵ The volume of the box is 36000 inches³

∴ The volume of the box in cubic feet = 36000 ÷ 1728 = 125/6  

b) The volume in cubic feet is 125/6

* Now lets revise how to change from feet to yard

- 1 yard = 3 feet

∵ 1 yard = 3 feet

∴ 1 yard³ = (3)³ feet³

∴ 1 yard³ = 27 feet³

∵ The volume of the box is 125/6 feet³

∴ The volume of the box in cubic yard = 125/6 ÷ 27 = 125/162  

c) The volume in cubic yard is 125/162

Answer:

3600 cubic inches , 2.08 cubic feet , 0.0771 cubic yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we are given that the open box has been constructed from a card board with length 90 inches and width 70 inches by

1. cutting  a square card board

2. of each side 15 inches

Hence when we are done with folding it for our cuboid , we find our new

1. Length = 90-15-15 = 60 inches

2. width = 70-15-15 = 40 inches

3. Height = 15 inches

Now we know the volume of any cuboid is given as

V= Length * width * height

 = 60*40*15

 = 3600 cubic inches

Part 2 . Now let us convert them into  cubic feet

1 cubic inch = 0.000578704 cubic feet

Hence 3600 cubic inches = 3600 * 0.000578704  cubic feet

                                           =2.083 cubic feet

Part 3. Now let us convert them into  cubic yards

1 cubic inch = 0.0000214335 cubic yards

Hence 3600 cubic inches = 3600 * 0.0000214335 cubic yards

                                           = 0.0771 cubic yards

Given $m\geq 2$, denote by $b^{-1}$ the inverse of $b\pmod{m}$. That is, $b^{-1}$ is the residue for which $bb^{-1}\equiv 1\pmod
goblinko [34]

(2+3)^{-1}\equiv5^{-1}\pmod7 is the number <em>L</em> such that

5L\equiv1\pmod7

Consider the first 7 multiples of 5:

5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35

Taken mod 7, these are equivalent to

5, 3, 1, 6, 4, 2, 0

This tells us that 3 is the inverse of 5 mod 7, so <em>L</em> = 3.

Similarly, compute the inverses modulo 7 of 2 and 3:

2a\equiv1\pmod7\implies a\equiv4\pmod7

since 2*4 = 8, whose residue is 1 mod 7;

3b\equiv1\pmod7\implies b\equiv5\pmod7

which we got for free by finding the inverse of 5 earlier. So

2^{-1}+3^{-1}\equiv4+5\equiv9\equiv2\pmod7

and so <em>R</em> = 2.

Then <em>L</em> - <em>R</em> = 1.

Find the annual infiltration rate for the nearest 10th of a percent of a gallon of milk that increases the value from $1.51 to $
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

7.429 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Price change = $1.51 to $2.03

Period of time = 7 years

Therefore, the annual inflation rate :

Difference in price / number of years

($2.03 - $1.51) / 7

$0.52 / 7

= 0.0742857 per year

= 0.0742857 * 100 (about 7.429 cents per year)

What is the total surface area??
uysha [10]

Answer:

790 units^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the area of each side and add them all up. Remember each side is there twice.

Formula: SA = 2(15*5 + 15*16 + 5*16)

SA = 2(75 + 240 + 80)

SA = 2(395)

SA = 790
