How would I set up this problem?

1 answer:

4 0

Since in 1990 there are 28%, we need to figure out when it gets to 31%. In addition, since it increases by 0.6% every year, we can say that 0.6x+28 (since 28 is the base value) is the percentage of babies born in wedlock every year. Therefore, to get 0.6x+28=31, we subtract 28 from both sides to get 0.6x=3
Dividing both sides by 0.6, we get x=5=the amount of years it takes to get 31% of babies born in wedlock. Since 1990 is the base value (we start from there!), we add 5 to that to get 1990+5=1995 as the yar

What is the volume of the prism

Scilla [17]

Hey there :)

We know the volume formula of triangular prism
Volume = base x height of prism
= $\frac{1}{2} (base)(height)(height of prism)$

We are given:
The base = 8 in
The height = 15 in
You do not need the 17 in ( it is there to trick you )
The height of the prism = 10 in

Apply the formula,
V = $\frac{1}{2} (8)(15)(10)$
= 600 in³

Your final answer will be the last option
