Answer:

<u>The new height of the water is approximately 9.3 inches.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Measurements of the container:

Length = 20 inches

Width = 16 inches

Height = 12 inches

Amount of water drained from the container = 850 inches³

2. What is the new height of the water in inches?. If necessary, round to the nearest tenth.

Let's calculate the volume of the container, as follows:

Volume = Length * Width * Height

Volume = 20 * 16 * 12

Volume = 3,840 inches³

Now, let's subtract the volume of the water drained:

Volume = 3,840 - 850 = 2,990 inches³

We do know the length and the width and can calculate the value of the new height, this way:

Volume = Length * Width * Height

2,990 = 20 * 16 * Height

320 * Height = 2,990

Height = 2,990/320

<u>Height = 9.3 (rounding to the nearest tenth)</u>

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

The student took 2.5 minutes to paint 1 square foot.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to know how long the student took to paint each square foot we first need to know the total area of the bulletin board. Since it is a rectangle we can compute it's area by multiplying the width and the height. That is:

area = 2*3 = 6 square foot

Since the student took 15 minutes to paint the whole board the pace at which he was working can be calculated by dividing the total area of the board by the time he took to paint all of it. So we have:

pace = 6/15 = 0.4 foot/min

To find how long it took him to paint 1 square foot we can divide it by the pace he was painting. We have:

time = 1/0.4 = 2.5 minutes

The student took 2.5 minutes to paint 1 square foot.
