The volume of a rectangular prism is (length) x (width) x (height).

The volume of the big one is  (2.25) x (1.5) x (1.5) = <em>5.0625 cubic inches</em>.

The volume of the little one is  (0.25)x(0.25)x(0.25)= 0.015625 cubic inch

The number of little ones needed to fill the big one is

             (Volume of the big one)  divided by (volume of the little one) .

       5.0625 / 0.015625  =  <em>324 tiny cubies</em>

=================================================

Doing it with fractions instead of decimals:

The volume of a rectangular prism is (length) x (width) x (height).
Dimensions of the big one are:

   2-1/4  =  9/4
   1-1/2  =  3/2
   1-1/2  =  3/2

   Volume = (9/4) x (3/2) x (3/2) =
 
                 (9 x 3 x 3) / (4 x 2 x 2)  =

                           81 / 16  cubic inches.

          As a mixed number:    81/16  =  <em>5-1/16 cubic inches</em>

Volume of the tiny cubie = (1/4) x (1/4) x (1/4) =  1/64 cubic inch.   

The number of little ones needed to fill the big one is

             (Volume of the big one)  divided by (volume of the little one) .

                 (81/16) divided by (1/64)  = 

                     (81/16) times (64/1)  = 

                             5,184/16  =  <em>324 tiny cubies</em>.

A box contains 14 books &amp; 7 pieces of dusters. Each piece of duster weighs 0.2 pounds each book weighs 1.1 pounds. The box &
Olin [163]

Answer:

1.45

Step-by-step explanation:

weight of all books= 14×1.1= 15.4

weight of all duster=7×0.2= 1.4

weight of books and duster= 15.4+1.4=16.8

weight of the empty box = 18.25-16.8=1.45

Find the length of the indicated side.
Ne4ueva [31]

Hello

DEF and IKL , equilateral  =>

DE = 5x-12 = 3x-4

5x-3x= -4+12

2x= 8

x=4

DE = 5x-12 =  20-12 = 8

KL = 3x+24 = 10x+3

24 -3 = 10x-3x

21 = 7x

x= 21/7 = 3

KJ = 10x+3 = 30+3 = 33

In triangle MNP, m = 5 cm, n = 4 cm, and p = 8 cm. Which formula can you use to find P?
charle [14.2K]
Answer:
8² = 4² + 5² - 2(4)(5) cos(P)
which is the third option

Explanation:
The general rule of cosine is:
a² = b² + c² - 2bc*cos(A)

In our triangle:
a is substituted by p = 8 cm
b is substituted by n = 4 cm
c is substituted by m = 5 cm
A is substituted by P which we want to find

Replace the variables in the general equation with the givens as follows:
p² = n² + m² - 2mn*cos(P)
8² = 4² + 5² - 2(4)(5) cos(P)

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

-3,3.1, 3 2/10

Step-by-step explanation:

When you are putting different numbers from least to greatest, you need to put them in the same form...

First things first we should put -3 wayy up front. negative numbers are worth less than positive numbers.

Then we need to turn 3 2/10 into a decimal.

3 2/10 -------> 3.2

3.2 is more than 3.1

Thus, the order is

-3,3.1, 3 2/10

Hope this helps and have a nice day.
