Answer:
9 boards
Step-by-step explanation:
2/3 of the porch= 6 boards
so to figure out how much one third of the porch needs you find half of what it takes to fill in 2/3 of the porch and you get 3.
so 3=1/3 of the porch
then you simply do 3times 3 or 3+3+3 and you get 9
so it takes 9 boards to fill the whole porch
Answer:
The portion of the volume of the cup that is filled with water is 
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
Find the volume of the paper water cup
The volume of the cone is equal to

we have


substitute


step 2
If the cup is filled with water to half its height, find out what portion of the volume of the cup is filled with water
Remember that
If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its volumes is equal to the scale factor elevated to the cube
In this problem the similar cone has half the height of the complete cone
so
The scale factor is equal to 1/2
therefore
The volume of the cup that is filled with water is equal to the volume of the complete cup by the scale factor elevated to the cube

therefore
The portion of the volume of the cup that is filled with water is

The answer is 23 because you would substitute in the 4 for the X and multiply 5 times 4 = 20 then add 20 plus 3 and you get 23
