Three cube-shaped aquariums that are five inches on each side are filled with water to capacity. All of the water from those thr

ee aquariums is to be transferred into a larger cube aquarium so that it must be filled to at least 50% of its total capacity without overflowing. Which of the following could be the length, in inches, of a side of the larger aquarium?
(A) 6.9
(B) 8.4
(C) 9.5

Answer:

The correct answer is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to start calculating the total volume of water. This is, the sum of the three cube-shaped aquariums, that are 5in on each side. As the three aquariums are equal, the total volume of water is V=3V', where V' is the volume of one of those three aquariums.

We know that the volume of a cube is the third power of its side: V'=(5in)^3 = 125 in^3. Then, the total volume of water in the three aquariums is

V=3*125 in^3=325 in^3.

Now we only need to compare with the  volumes of the given aquariums. Recall that the 50% is just the half of the volume of the larger aquarium.

(A) If the side of the aquarium is 6.9 in, its volume is 328.509 in^3. This volume is less that the amount of water we have from the initial three aquariums.

(B) If the side of the aquarium is 8.4 in, its volume is 592.704 in^3. It is not difficult to see that 325>592.704/2.

(C) If the side of the aquarium is 9.5 in, its volume is 857.375 in^3. Here it is not hard to check that 325<857.375/2.

Answer:  (B) 8.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Dimension of each cube = 5 inches

Then, volume of each cube = (5)^3=125\text{ in.}^3

Then, volume of 3 such cubes = 3\times125=375\text{ in.}^3

Let x be the dimension of larger cube , then its volume = x^3

Now, by considering the given question, we have

0.50 x^3\leq375\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2\leq\dfrac{375}{0.5}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^3\leq750

Taking cube-root on both sides , we get

x\leq(750)^{1/3}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x\leq9.086

The most nearest value from the options less than 9.086 is 8.4.

Hence, the the length of a side of the larger aquarium could be 8.4 inches.

Lauren is reading a novel for English class. The data below shows the number of pages reads, y, in x hours.
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Choice B is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

The variable x represents the number of hours;

2, 4, 5, 7, 9

The least value is 2 while the maximum value is 9. The scale to be used must accommodate all these values. The scale can thus begin from 0 to 10. Choice A is incorrect since the values 7 and 9 will not be accommodated in the graph.

The y variable represents the number of pages read;

50, 100, 125, 175, 225

The least value is 50 while the maximum value is 225. The scale to be used must accommodate all these values. The scale can thus begin from 0 to 250. Both choices C and D are incorrect since none of the values will be accommodated in the graph.

The equation for the line of best fit is f(x) ≠1. 8x ⒠5. 4 for the set of values in the table. A 2-column table with 7 rows.
AleksandrR [38]

The equation for the line of best fit, the good approximation for x when f(x) = 30 is 20.

Given that

The equation for the line of best fit is f(x) = 1.8x − 5.4 for the set of values in the table.

A 2-column table with 7 rows.

The first column is labeled x with entries 4, 5, 6, 6, 8, 9, 10.

The second column is labeled f(x) with entries 5, 2, 5, 6, 8, 7, 18.

We have to determine

Using the equation for the line of best fit, what is a good approximation for x when f(x) = 30?

According to the question

The quadratic regression equation can be expressed as;

\rm f(x) = 1.8x - 5.4

Then,

The approximation for x when f(x) = 30 is,

\rm f(x) = 1.8x - 5.4\\\\\rm 30= 1.8x - 5.4 \\\\ 1.8x= 30+5.4\\\\1.8x=35.4\\\\x = \dfrac{35.4}{1.4}\\\\x=19.67\\\\x=20 \ approx

Hence, the equation for the line of best fit, the good approximation for x when f(x) = 30 is 20.
