<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.

Basile [38]
Y-y1= m(x-x1)

y-2= -2(x+6)

y-2= -2x-12

y= -2x-10
Unless there is supposed to be a zero at the end of that 1, then the answer is no

The sides of a triangle are 3x+ 2, 6x, and 5x. Find the expression to represent the perimeter. To find the perimeter, we ADD the
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

14x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter = sum of the measures of each side

If a triangle has side lengths of 3x+ 2, 6x, and 5x then the perimeter of that triangle is equal to 3x + 2 + 6x + 5x

Notice that the expression 3x + 2 + 6x + 5x has similar terms so to get the simplist version of the perimeter we would simply combine like terms

3x + 6x + 5x = 14x

The perimeter would = 14x + 2
