Water that weighs 325 lbs will fill 5.2 cubic feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a simple question of cross multiplication

DATA:

1. The weight of water for 1 cubic feet is 62.5

2. The weight of water for 'X' cubic feet is 325

3. To find x, form an equation:

Cubic feet : Weight of water

1 : 62.5

X : 325

4. Cross multiply

X x 62.5 = 1 x 325

62.5X = 325

5. Make X the subject

X = $\frac{325}{62.5}$

6. Solve to find X

X = 5.2 cubic feet

Therefore, water that weighs 325 lbs will fill 5.2 cubic feet.

The bases of a trapezoid have lengths 10 and 18. If the height of the trapezoid is 6, what is the area of the trapezoid

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The bases of a trapezoid have lengths 10 and 18. If the height of the trapezoid is 6, what is the area of the trapezoid

The area of a trapezoid is given as:

1/2(b1 + b) × h

Where:

b1 = Base 1 = 10

b2= Base 2 = 18

h = Height = 6

Therefore, the area of a trapezoid =

1/2 (10 + 18) × 6

= 28/2 × 6

= 84

Therefore, the area of the trapezoid = 84

Ben has a collection of 240 baseball cards. Of these cards, 30% once played

Luda [366]

Ok so lets start off with calculating the percentage. We have 240 cards so lets find 25% of them so lets use 240 times .25 we get 60 cards then take away 240 - 60 = 180. Next we do the 30% so 240 times .30 would be 72 so take away 180 from 72 thats 108. So there are 108 Houston Astros Cards.

Ronch [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

$x + 3(2x - 5) = 6 \\ x + 6x - 15 = 6 \\ 7x = 6 + 15 \\ 7x = 21$
