A right rectangular prism has edges of 2 1/4 in, 1 1/2 in and 1 1/2 in. How many cubes with lengths of 1/4 in would be needed to

fill the prism? What is the volume?

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>.

If B is the midpoint of line AC, AC = CD, AB = 3x+4, AC=11x-17, and CE = 49, find DE. (Show work)
larisa [96]

Answer:

2(3x+4) = 11x-17

6x+8 = 11x-17

25=-5x

x=-5

11x-17

55-17

38

AC = 38

CD = 38

49-38 = 11

DE = 11

Let me know if this helps!

It takes a hose 2 minutes to fill a rectangular aquarium 8 inches long, 10 inches wide, and 14 inches tall. How long will it tak
kari74 [83]

Answer:

66 minutes, or 1 hour and 6 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

let us first do the rectangular aquarium:

8 x 10 = 80

80 x 14 = 1120

now the second box

23 x 25 = 575

575 x 33 = 18975

we can divide the boxes volume:

18975/575 = 33

so all we have to do is times 33 by 2 which equals:

66 minutes, or 1 hour and 6 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Deborah has to pay 9% for tax. So is someone worked on her computer for two hours then she pays 9% on $120 worth of work. So her tax amount would be $10.800 and her total amount would be 10.8 +120 = $130.80.
