<h2>Answer:</h2>

The number of bags of sand that Jack need to fill the box completely are:

                                        2

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

The length(l) of the sand box is 3 feet, width(w) is 6 inches, and height(h) is 2.4 inches.

Also,

1 foot=12 inches

This means that:

1 inch=1/12 foot

i.e.

6 inches=0.5 feet

i.e.

w=0.5 feet

and

h=2.4 inches

i.e.  h=0.2 feet

Now, we find the volume of the rectangular box.

The volume of the rectangular box is given by:

Volume=lwh

Hence,

Volume=3×0.5×0.2

i.e.

Volume=0.3 cubic feet.

Also, the volume of one bag of sand= 0.15 cubic feet

This means that the number of bags of sand that will fill the box completely is:

(Volume of rectangular box) / (Volume of one bag of sand)

=   0.3/0.15

=2

Hence, number of bags =2

Jack would need to buy 2 bags of sand.
To find the answer you first have to find the volume of the rectangular box which can be found using the formula length times width times height (remember that the numbers have to have the same unit so it would look like 3 times .5 times .2 if you convert them all the feet). the volume of the box is equal to .3
Then you could set the volume of the box equal to .15x to find how many boxes he would need. The formula would be .15x=.3
Divide by .15 to get x alone and you get 2 for the answer.

help. If 20 men can survive for 24 days on 15 cans of rations, how many cans will be needed for 16 men to survive for 36 days?
Semmy [17]

Answer: 29 cans.

Step-by-step explanation:

20 can survive 24 days with 15 cans.

If X is the number of days that a man can survive with one can of rations.

so X is in the units can/day

then we have that:

24/15*X = 20

X = 20*15/24 = 12.5

This means that a man can live 12.5 days with a can of food.

then, for 16 men and 36 days we have:

(36/C)*12.5 = 16

C = (36/16)*12.5 = 28.1215

And we can not have a 0.1215 of a can, so we should round it up to 29 cans.
