Answer:

a = 24*1/3

a =8  

Step-by-step explanation:

We are using proportions to solve this problem by putting students over adults

students         3                   24

--------------- = ---------------  = -------------

adults                 1                   a

where a is the unknown number of adults

Using cross products

3a=24*1

Divide by 3

a = 24*1/3

a = 24/3

a = 8

You are putting a rectangular hot tub on your back porch. It is 6 feet long, 5 feet wide, and 3 feet deep. How much will it cost
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

Cost=\$3.66234\approx \$3.67

Step-by-step explanation:

Height\ of\ tub=3\ feet\\\\Length\ of\ tub=6\ feet\\\\width\ of\ tub=5\ feet\\\\Volume=Length\times Width\times Height\\\\Volume=6\times 5\times 3=90\ feet^3

1\ feet^3=7.48052\ gallons\\\\90\ feet^3=90\times 7.48052=673.2468\ gallons

cost\ of\ 1000\ gallons=\$5\\\\cost\ of\ 1\ gallons=\$ \frac{5}{1000}\\\\cost\ of\ 673.2468\ gallons=\$ \frac{5}{1000}\times 673.2468=\$3.366234
