The answer is 139 cubic yards

This mulch will be of cylindrical shape.
The volume (V) of a cylinder is: 
V = l · w · h           (l - length, w - width, h - height (in our example, height = depth)

It is known:
l = 125 feet
w = 60 feet
h = 6 inches = 0.5 feet

V = l · w · h = 125 · 60 · 0.5 = 3750 feet³

Since 1 cubic foot is 0.037 cubic yards, 3750 cubic feet are 139 cubic yards:
0.037 ·  3750 feet³ = 138.75 cubic yards ≈ 139 cubic yards

Here are four questions A) 2/5 B) 2/3 C) 1/4 D) 1/10 put them in order
lara [203]

Answer:

1/10, 1/4, 2/5, 2/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert the fractions into decimals.

2/5 = 0.4

2/3 ≈ 0.66666

1/4 = 0.25

1/10 = 0.1

Arrange from smallest to largest.

0.1, 0.25, 0.4, 0.6666

Change back to fraction form.

1/10, 1/4, 2/5, 2/3.

Propane is stored in a cylindrical tank with a diameter of 15 inches and a height of 48 inches. Which equation could be used to
Virty [35]

Step-by-step explanation:

remember. the radius is always half the diameter.

volume of a cylinder

pi × r² × height

pi×7.5²×48 = pi×56.25×48 = 8,482.300165... in³

volume of a sphere

4/3 × pi × r³

and that volume should be the same as the cylinder. so,

4/3 × pi × r³ = pi×56.25×48

4/3 × r³ = 56.25 × 48

1/3 × r³ = 56.25 × 12

r³ = 56.25 × 36 = 7.5² × 6² = (7.5×6)² = 45² = 2025

r =  \sqrt[3]{2025}

which would be 12.65148998... in.

Lunch break: In a recent survey of 655 working Americans ages 25-34, the average weekly amount spent on lunch was $43.5
Inga [223]

Using the Empirical Rule, it is found that:

  • a) Approximately 99.7% of the amounts are between $35.26 and $51.88.
  • b) Approximately 95% of the amounts are between $38.03 and $49.11.
  • c) Approximately 68% of the amounts fall between $40.73 and $46.27.

------------

The Empirical Rule states that, in a <em>bell-shaped </em>distribution:

  • Approximately 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.
  • Approximately 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.
  • Approximately 99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

-----------

Item a:

43.5 - 3(2.77) = 35.26

43.5 + 3(2.77) = 51.88

Within <em>3 standard deviations of the mean</em>, thus, approximately 99.7%.

-----------

Item b:

43.5 - 2(2.77) = 38.03

43.5 + 2(2.77) = 49.11

Within 2<em> standard deviations of the mean</em>, thus, approximately 95%.

-----------

Item c:

  • 68% is within 1 standard deviation of the mean, so:

43.5 - 2.77 = 40.73

43.5 + 2.77 = 46.27

Approximately 68% of the amounts fall between $40.73 and $46.27.

Graph the funxtion y=|x+2|-3
zhenek [66]
First you need to pick a number for y. Lets say you pick 0
Then you need to +3 to each side
Then you can say 3=x+2 or -3=x+2.
To find x you need to subtract 2.
You answer would  be (1,3) and (-5.-3)
