Answer:

Malcolm would fill 8 bags of rice.

Step-by-step explanation:

The size of the container of rice = 5\frac{1}{4} pounds = \frac{21}{4} pounds.

Each bag of rice has a capacity of \frac{5}{8} pounds.

The number of bags of rice that Malcolm fills = \frac{total quantity of rice}{capacity of each bag}

                                          =  \frac{21}{4} ÷ \frac{5}{8}

                                          =  \frac{21}{4} x \frac{8}{5}

                                          = \frac{42}{5}

                                          = 8\frac{2}{5}

Therefore, Malcolm would be able to fill 8 bags of rice.

Brett is installing a gravel path along the diagonal of a rectangular garden. The garden measures 3
NISA [10]

Answer:

The answer is C, First you must find the length of the diagonal gravel path and you can use Pythagorean Theorem to do this. 24^2+32^2=c^2 and solve for c which will get you 40 feet. Now, solve for the area of the path by multiplying 40*2 (2 feet wide) which will get you an area of 80 square feet. Multiply 80 by 3.5 and then the answer is $280. Hope this helped you :)

for a special concert by a popular band, the concert hall owner decided to charge $20 per ticket for the first "r" rows and $15
Alecsey [184]
R = 16 according to the problem, so the total amount of income will be:
$20*16 + $15*(40 - 16)
= $320 + <span>$15*(24)
= </span>$320 + <span>$360
= $680
that is the income, but the expenses are $275 so the total revenue is the subtraction of those two
total revenue = $680 - $275
= $405</span>

One bag of rice that weighs 4.5 pounds will have enough rice if a recipe calls for 60 ounces of rice. (1 pound = 16 ounces)
krek1111 [17]

the bag of rice weighs 4.5 pounds


Multiply 4.5 with 16 oz (as 1 lb = 16 oz)


4.5 x 16 = 72.


The bag of rice has 72 oz of rice inside.


The recipe only needs 60 oz of rice ∴ True, you will have enough, with 12 oz left over.

Fill in the blank so that 81x2+_<br> x+81 is a perfect square trinomial.<br> 81x²+_____<br><br> x+81
densk [106]

the blank is 162

since 81 and 81 are both perfect squares the middle term (blank) will be the product of their roots times 2

√81=9

√81 =9

9 x 9 x 2

= 162
