Answer: The box would have 99% of its volume taken up.

Step-by-step explanation: The box has dimensions as follows;

Length = 6 inches

Width = 5 inches

Height = 10 inches

Therefore the volume of the box shall become

Volume = L x W x H

Volume = 6 x 5 x 10

Volume = 300 cubic inches

Also a 3 inch cube would have its volume given as follows (

Volume = 3 x 3 x 3 (All sides of a cube has equal lengths)

Volume = 27 cubic inches

To find out how many of 3-inch cubes can fit in, divide 300 by 27 and that equals 11.11.

Hence you can have at most 11 cubes in the box. The total volume of 11 cubes is given as 11 x 27 which equals 297. Therefore, the percentage of the box taken up completely by the cubes is given as;

Percentage = (Volume of cubes/Volume of box) x 100

Percentage = (297/300) x 100

Percentage = 99

Therefore the box would have 99% of its volume taken up by the cubes.

Brian spends
mariarad [96]

Answer:

Brian have £105 left.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Amount earned by Brian per week = £168

Fraction spent on rent = 1/8

Amount spent on rent = 1/8 x 168

Amount spent on rent = £42

Fraction spent on food = 1/8

Amount spent on food = 1/8 x 168

Amount spent on food = £21

Amount left = Amount earned - amount spent on rent - amount spent on food

Amount left = 168 - 42 - 21

Amount left = £105

Brian have £105 left.

Alexander is a stockbroker. He earns 14% commission each week. Last​ week, he sold ​$5,400 worth of stocks. How much did he make
Vlada [557]

Answer:

In that one week, his commision was $896, over all 52 weeks, he made $46592

Step-by-step explanation:

So, he makes 14% commision on any stock he sells. This week, he sold $6,400 worth of stocks, and, hes going to make 14% on it. So, take 6400 and divide that by 14%, and what do you get? $896! So, he made $896 that week. Now, say he made that amount EVERY WEEK. so, all you have to do is know how many weeks are in a year (52) and multiply that by 896, which gives you 46592.

An object is launched from a platform.
Bess [88]

Answer:

60 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The height, h (in meters), of the object launched from a platform is represented by the equation

h=h(x)=-5x^2+20x+60

where x is the time (in seconds) passed after the launch.

The time of launch is x=0 (0 seconds passed after the launch)

Substitute x=0 to find the height:

h=h(0)=-5\cdot 0^2+20\cdot 0+60=60\ feet
