A truck is being filled with cube-shaped packages that have side lengths of 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. What is the greatest number of packages that can fit in the truck?

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.

How to explain why a trapezoid is a quadrilateral but a quadrilateral is not always a trapezoid
Alex787 [66]

A quadrilateral is any figure with 4 sides, no matter what the lengths of
the sides or the sizes of the angles are ... just as long as it has four straight
sides that meet and close it up.

Once you start imposing some special requirements on the lengths of
the sides,  or their relationship to each other, or the size of the angles,
you start making special kinds of quadrilaterals, that have special names.

The simplest requirement of all is that there must be one pair of sides that
are parallel to each other.  That makes a quadrilateral called a 'trapezoid'.
That's why a quadrilateral is not always a trapezoid.

Here are some other, more strict requirements, that make other special
quadrilaterals:

-- Two pairs of parallel sides . . . . 'parallelogram'

-- Two pairs of parallel sides
AND all angles the same size . . . . 'rectangle'
           (also a special kind of parallelogram)

-- Two pairs of parallel sides
AND all sides the same length . . . 'rhombus'
           (also a special kind of parallelogram)

-- Two pairs of parallel sides
AND all sides the same length
AND all angles the same size . . . . 'square'.
           (also a special kind of parallelogram, rectangle, and rhombus)

Emily thinks the perfect tomato sauce has 8 cloves of garlic in every 500{ mL} of sauce. Raphael's tomato sauce has 12 cloves of
igomit [66]

For perfect solution we need to have :-  8 colves   in 500ml    solution

500   ml     has   8 cloves

1 ml             has     8 / 500 cloves

100ml         has   8 / 500  * 100  =    8/5  = 1.6 cloves

Raphael's mixture  

    900 ml  has 12 cloves

      1 ml     has   12 / 900 cloves

   100 ml has   12 / 900 *  100   =    12 / 9  =   1.33 cloves

so concentration of garlic in 100 ml solution of Raphael's solution is less than Emily's solution    so it is not garlicky enough.     ( option B)

A shop makes a profit of £2750 in March.
LiRa [457]

Answer:

15% increase

Step-by-step explanation:

2750... 10% of that is 275, add 275 to 2750 is 3025. 1% of 2750 is 27.50, you times that by 5, which is 137.50 and add that to 3025 giving you 3162.50, add the 10% with the 5% gives you 15%, that's the increase.
