Answer:

24000 pieces.      

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Side lengths of cube = \frac{1}{4} \ foot

The part of the truck that is being filled is in the shape of a rectangular prism with dimensions of 8 ft x 6 1/4 ft x 7 1/2 ft.

Question asked:

What is the greatest number of packages that can fit in the truck?

Solution:

First of all we will find volume of cube, then volume of rectangular prism and then simply divide the volume of prism by volume of cube to find the greatest number of packages that can fit in the truck.

Volume\ of\ cube =a^{3}

                          =\frac{1}{4} \times\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4} =\frac{1}{64} \ cubic \ foot

                                   

Length = 8 foot, Breadth = 6\frac{1}{4} =\frac{25}{4} \ foot, Height =7\frac{1}{2} =\frac{15}{2} \ foot

Volume\ of\ rectangular\ prism =length\times breadth\times height

                                                =8\times\frac{25}{4} \times\frac{15}{2} \\=\frac{3000}{8} =375\ cubic\ foot

The greatest number of packages that can fit in the truck = Volume of prism divided by volume of cube

The greatest number of packages that can fit in the truck = \frac{375}{\frac{1}{64} } =375\times64=24000\ pieces\ of\ cube

Thus, the greatest number of packages that can fit in the truck is 24000 pieces.

What is the slope of the line shown in the graph? (4 points)
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

a. or \frac{3}{-2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is equal to y1-y2 over x1-x2.

So the equation would be:

\frac{2-(-1)}{-3-(-1)}

2-(-1)=2+1=3

-3-(-1)=-3+1=-2

So the answer is:

\frac{3}{-2}

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

  2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the ratio as a pure number, it must be expressed as the quotient of two values that have the same units. For the purpose here, it is convenient to convert both values to units of seconds.

__

<h3>units conversion</h3>

The conversion factor between minutes and seconds is ...

  1 minute = 60 seconds

Multiplying this equation by 3 gives ...

  3 minutes = 180 seconds

__

<h3>ratio of interest</h3>

Then the desired ratio is ...

  (72 seconds)/(3 minutes) = (72 seconds)/(180 seconds) = 72/180

  = (36×2)/(36×5)

  = 2/5

The ratio in its simplest form is 2/5.
