We need to estimate how tall is, on average, one of these object, and then count how many would be in a 5 feet high stack.

For example, on Google you may see that "1.5 cubic foot boxes are the standard box, manufactured by most companies". So, we assume that a standard cardboard box is 1.5 feet tall.

So, if we set the equation

1.5k = 5 \iff k=\dfrac{5}{1.5}=3.\bar{3}

So, there would be between 3 and 4 cardboard boxes in a 5 feet tall stack.

Similarly, we can see that the average book is 9 inches tall. 9 inches are 0.75

feet, so we have

0.75k=5 \iff k=6.\bar{6}

So, there would be between 6 and 7 books in a 5 feet tall stack.

The average brick is 75 millimeters tall, which means 0.25 feet tall. Again, we have

0.25k=5 \iff k=20

So, there would be 20 bricks in a 5 feet tall stack.

Finally, a coin is about 0.006 feet, which leads to

0.006k=5 \iff k=833.\bar{3}

So, there would be between 833 and 834 coins in a 5 feet tall stack.

Find the area of the circle when C = 4π. Give your answer in terms of π.
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

12.56

Step-by-step explanation:

So, the circumference will be 4(3.14), which is 12.56. So, now you can solve for area. <em>By the way, the formula is: C = pi(d) (Just saying)</em>

Anyways, A = pi(r)2. So, with the radius being half of the diameter, you will cut 4 in half. You are now ready to solve.

A = 3.14 (2) (2), which is 12.56 .

Hope this helps! :)

The owner of a catering company wants to select a random sample of clients to find out about their food preferences. Select Yes
kolezko [41]

Answer:

1. Yes

2. No

3. Yes

4. No

Step-by-step explanation:

When you say a random sample, this means that every member of the population will have a chance to be part of the sample. If you consider the scenarios, only the 1st and 3rd option will come up with a random sample because the respondents of the sample is not predetermined. If you take the other options into consideration, you can see that not everyone would have had a chance to be part of the sample.
