In the parallelogram below, W = ?

Mrs. Cleaver mixes 1.24 liters of red paint with 3 times as much blue paint to make purple paint. She pours the paint equally in

otez555 [7]

The amount of blue paint in each container is $\fbox{\begin\\\ 0.744 liters \end{minispace}}$ .

Further explanation:

The mixture mixed by Mrs. Cleaver contains 1.24 litres of red paint with 3 times blue paint to obtain purple paint.

So, the amount of blue paint is calculated as,

${3} \times {1.24}=3.72 \text { liters}$

Therefore, the total amount of paint mixture is the sum of blue paint and red paint.

$\fbox{\begin \\\begin{aligned} \text{Total paint}= 1.24+3.72\\=4.96 \text{ liters}\\\end{aligned}\\\end{minispace}}$

Now, as Mrs. Cleaver divides the paint mixture equally in 5 containers so the amount of paint in one container is calculated as,

$\boxed{\begin{aligned}\text{Amount of paint in one container}&= \dfrac{4.96}{5}\\ &=0.992 \text{ liters} \end {aligned}}$

Since amount of blue paint mixed is three times the red paint so the fraction of blue paint to the total paint is $\dfrac{3}{4}$ .

Now, as it is known that the fraction of blue paint to the total paint is $\dfrac{3}{4}$ and the amount of paint in a container is $0.992 \text{ liters}$ then the blue paint in one container is calculated as,

$\boxed{\begin{aligned}\text{Blue paint in one container} =\dfrac{3}{4} \times 0.992\\=0.248 \text{ liters}\end{aligned}}$

Thus, the amount of blue paint in each of the five containers is $\fbox{\begin\\\ 0.744 liters \end{minispace}}$ .

The length of a rectangle is 13 ft. And its width is 49 ft. What is its perimeter? 512 ft 427 ft 79 ft 159 ft

crimeas [40]

Answer:

= 124 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle is

P = 2(l+w)

We know the length is 13 and the width is 49

P = 2(13+49)

=2(62)

= 124 ft

Akira receives a prize at a science fair for having the most informative project. Her trophy is in the shape of a square pyramid

PolarNik [594]

Akira needs 45 square inches of gold foil to cover the chair free including the bottom

Step-by-step explanation:

Total surface = surface area of the base square + area of 4 triangles

Step 1: The surface area of the base square

surface area of the base = surface area of the square =

where s is the side length

The the surface area of the base = = 9 square inches

Step 2: The surface area of the side triangles

The area of the triangle =

On substituting the values,

The area of the triangle =

The area of the triangle = 9 square inches

Now the area of 4 triangles = 4 x 9 = 36 square inches

Thus the total surface area = 9 + 36 = 45 square inches
