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

So, our starting point, at zero hours, you already owe ten dollars. 
So far you know it is +10. 
Now, you multiply for by however many hours you have rented the bike for.
So the equation is:
4x+10.
x= # of hours bike is rented for.
Hope this helps! Have a happy holiday!

We looking for distance
drek231 [11]

Answer:

240 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Figure is attached.

The distance the particle travels is the area under the v-t graph over the time interval from 0 min to 4 min.  The reason you can't just multiply velocity by time is that the velocity is changing at a constant rate over the given time interval (the line is going upward--the particls is speeding up).

What's the area under the graph?

The red outline forms a trapezoid.  The area of a trapezoid is  A=\frac{1}{2}h(b_1+b_2)  where the <em>b</em>'s are the lengths of the two parallel base and  <em>h</em>  is the height (the distance between the bases).

Reading the graph carefully (notice the scales!)...

A=\frac{1}{2}(4)(30+90)=(2)(120)=240 \text{m}
