Answer:

The required number of bricks is 507.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :  

A) A typical brick is a rectangular prism with dimensions 4 in. x 2 in. x 8 in.

B) A typical bathtub is a rectangular prism with dimensions 60 in. x 30 in. x 18 in.

To find : Use the Fermi process to estimate the number of bricks needed to fill an empty bathtub?

Solution :

The Fermi process means having  a guess  or give an approximation to the answer.

We have given,

The dimension of the brick,

l=4 in., b = 2 in., h=8 in.

The volume of the brick is

V=l\times b\times h

V=4\times 2\times 8

V_b=64 in^3

The dimension of the bathtub,

L=60 in., B = 30 in., H=18 in.

The volume of the bathtub is

V=L\times B\times H

V=60\times 30\times 18

V_B=32400 in^3

Number of bricks is

n=\frac{V_B}{V_b}

n=\frac{32400}{64}

n=506.25

Approximately the required number of bricks is 507.

A bag contains 3 red marbles 4 blue marbles and 7 Green marbles if two marbles are drawn out of the bag what is the probability
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

0.368

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of red marbles= 3

Number of blue marbles= 4

Number of green marbles= 7

Total number of marbles= 3+4+7= 14

Let the first ball is taken out to be red

P(R)=\frac{3}{14}

than again a second ball is drawn, number of balls left= 14-1=13

Number of red= 2

P(R)=\frac{2}{13}

Total probability=\frac{3}{14}+\frac{2}{13}

Total probability= 0.368

Hence, the correct answer is 0.368
