A rectangular prism is defined by three lengths.

We can find out how many unit cubes would be in a prism by multiplying these three lengths together--that's how we find our <em>volume</em>.

Similarly, we can come up with different ways to multiply together three different numbers and make 18.
Each combination would be a new rectangular prism, with one catch:
Order doesn't matter. A prism with lengths 2, 2, and 3 is the same as one with lengths 2, 3, and 2, so don't make that mistake.

To find each combination, keep splitting 18 in different ways.
If one of the ways we split it can also be split, we need to write out that, too.
Here are the possible combinations:
18 × 1 × 1, obviously
9 × 2 × 1. splitting off 2
6 × 3 × 1. splitting off 3
4 × 6 × 1. our next biggest we can take out is 6, which can also be split...
4 × 3 × 2. there's the split of 6 into 2 and 3
<em>(3 × 6 × 1 is a repeat.)</em>
3 × 3 × 2 is new, though
<em>(2 × 9 × 1 is a repeat...)
</em><em>(2 × 3 × 3 is a repeat...)
</em>(aaaand 1 × 1 × 18 is a repeat. let's count up our combinations.)
<em>
</em>
There are 6 possible ways to multiply numbers together and get 18...
So 6 possible rectangular prisms.

F/13 = 6.2 what is the value of f
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

The value of f is 80.6.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equation and asked to solve for f.

If we are given a fraction with a variable in the numerator, we can multiply both sides of the equation by the denominator to isolate it.

For example, if you look at this equation:

\displaystyle\frac{a}{26}=17.9

We can multiply both sides by 26 to get the a by itself so the equation can be solved.

\displaystyle26\times\frac{a}{26}=17.9\times26\\\\a = 465.4

Therefore, we can apply this same technique to the equation \frac{f}{13}=6.2.

\displaystyle\frac{f}{13}=6.2\\\\13\times\frac{f}{13}=6.2\times13\\\\f = 80.6\ \text{or} \ \frac{403}{5}

Therefore, the value of f is 80.6.

Read the excerpt from Heart of a Samurai.
Mazyrski [523]

Answer: D. the snail’s path

Step-by-step explanation: because The author uses the most precise words to describe the snail's path.

This excerpt has been taken from Heart of a Samurai, a historical novel written by Margi Preus in 2010. Precise words such as 'shiny', 'ribbon' and 'unfurling' have been used in the second sentence to describe the path of the snail, which is a small animal that has a wet body and moves very slowly. In other words, the author describes the way the path looks by establishing a comparison between the path and a shiny ribbon.

Hope this help
