Hardy is packing his book collection into a box. Each book measures 4inches by 6 inches by 1 inch. The box he uses measures 24 i

n by 24in by 8in.
If Hardy fills the box completely, what is the greatest number of books that fit into the box?
If Hardy fills the box completely with the least number of layers, there will be (blank) books on the bottom layer.
To fill the box completely, Hardy places 8 layers of books in the box. There are (blank) books in each layer.

Thank you in advance for the help! Just a mom who hates math trying to help her kid with volume.

Answer:

<u>1. 192 books.  </u>

<u>2. 96 books.  </u>

<u>3. 24 books. </u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's find the volume of each book and the volume of the box, this way:

Volume of a book = 4 * 6 * 1 = 24 inches ³  

Volume of the box = 24 * 24 * 8 = 4,608 inches ³

2. If Hardy fills the box completely, what is the greatest number of books that fit into the box?

Greatest number of books = Volume of the box/Volume of a book

Greatest number of books = 4,608/24

Greatest number of books = 192

3. If Hardy fills the box completely with the least number of layers, there will be (blank) books on the bottom layer.

The height of the box is 8 inches, so it can only can hold 2 or 8 layers of books, since the books are 4 * 6 * 1 inches.  

Greatest number of layers = Height of the box/Width of a book  

Greatest number of layers = 8/1 = 8  

Minimum number of layers = Height of the box/Height of a book  

Minimum number of layers = 8/4 = 2  

Upon saying that, we have:  

Number of books per layer = Greatest number of books/Minimum number of layers  

Number of books per layer = 192/2 = 96

4. To fill the box completely, Hardy places 8 layers of books in the box. There are (blank) books in each layer.

Number of books per layer = Greatest number of books/Number of layers

Number of books per layer = 192/8  

Number of books per layer = 24

An image of a rectangular pyramid is shown below: A right rectangular pyramid is shown. Part A: A cross section of the rectangul
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

Part a) Rectangle

Part b) Triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The picture of the question in the attached figure N 1</em></u>

Part A) A cross section of the rectangular pyramid is cut with a plane parallel to the base. What is the name of the shape created by the cross section?

we know that

When a geometric plane slices any right pyramid so that the cut is parallel to the plane of the base, the cross section will have the same shape (but not the same size) as the base, So, in the case of a right rectangular pyramid, the cross section is a rectangle

Part b)  If a cross section of the rectangular pyramid is cut perpendicular to the base, passing through the top vertex, what would be the shape of the resulting cross section?

we know that

Cross sections perpendicular to the base and through the vertex will be triangles

see  the attached figure N 2 to better understand the problem
