Answer:

They save 36in^3

Step-by-step explanation:

First do 12*8*3 to get 288 which is the volume of the box if it was full

now that is not the answer because the people are leaving the box 1.5 in empty from the top. This means that you would subtract 1.5 from 12 to get 10.5 because that is how tall the box is and then go ahead to multiply 10.5*3*8 to get 252.

This is also not the answer because you now need to subtract 252 from 288 to get 36 which is the amount of flour the manufacturer is saving.

therefore the answer is 36in^3 ( because volume is always written cubed)

The volume of the box when it's filled to 3 inches deep is 12×8×3 = 288 in³

The box is filled up to 1.5 inches from the top, that means the box is filled only
3-1.5 = 1.5 inches deep

The volume of the box when it's filled to 1.5 inches deep is 12×8×1.5 = 144 in³

The number of flours saved is 288 - 144 = 144 in³

The longest human power sporting event is the tour de France cycling race in a particular year the average speed for the winner
sergey [27]

Answer:

The winner completed the race in 96 hours and 52 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Distance of the cycling race = 2292 miles

Average speed of the winner = 23.66\  mph

We need to find time required by winner to complete the race.

Solution:

Now we know that;

Time required can be calculated by dividing Total Distance from the Average speed.

framing in equation form we get;

time required by winner to complete the race = \frac{2292}{23.66} = 96.87\ hrs

Now converting 0.87\ hrs into minutes we get;

0.87\times 60= 52.2\approx 52\ mins

Hence the winner completed the race in 96 hours and 52 minutes.
