bonufazy [111]

Answer:

V = 192 m^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cuboid is given by

V = l*w*h

V = 4m * 6m *8m

V = 192 m^3

A machine at a bottling company fills water bottles. the number of bottles filled is proportional to the amount of time the mach

Whitepunk [10]

In the table shown below:

Let N be the number of bottles filled,

Let T be the time in hours.

Given that the number of bottles filled is proportional to the amount of time the machine runs, we have

$\begin{gathered} N\propto T \\ \text{Introducing a proportionality constant, we have } \\ N\text{ = kT} \\ \Rightarrow k\text{ = }\frac{N}{T} \\ \end{gathered}$

Let's evaluate the value of k for each day.

Thus, on monday,

$\begin{gathered} N\text{ = 9900} \\ T\text{ = 5.5} \\ \text{thus,} \\ k\text{ = }\frac{9900}{5.5} \\ \Rightarrow k\text{ = 1800} \end{gathered}$

Tuesday:

$\begin{gathered} N\text{ = }11160 \\ T\text{ = }6.2 \\ \text{thus,} \\ k\text{ = }\frac{11160}{6.2} \\ \Rightarrow k\text{ = 1800} \end{gathered}$

Wednesday:

$\begin{gathered} N\text{ = }12330 \\ T\text{ = }6.25 \\ \text{thus,} \\ k\text{ = }\frac{12330}{6.25} \\ \Rightarrow k\text{ = 1972.8} \end{gathered}$

Thursday:

$\begin{gathered} N\text{ = }10440 \\ T\text{ = }5.80 \\ \text{thus,} \\ k\text{ = }\frac{10440}{5.8} \\ \Rightarrow k=1800 \end{gathered}$

It is observed that all exept wednesday have the same value of k.

Thus, the amount of time required for the number of bottles filled on wednesday is evaluated as

$\begin{gathered} N\text{ = }12330 \\ k\text{ = 1800} \\ T\text{ = ?} \\ \text{but} \\ k\text{ = }\frac{N}{T} \\ 1800\text{ = }\frac{12330}{T} \\ \Rightarrow T\text{ = }\frac{\text{12330}}{1800} \\ T\text{ = 6.85} \end{gathered}$

Hence, the incorrect day is Wednesday. The amount of time for that many bottles should be 6.85 hours.

The graph shows the solution to which system of equations?

vichka [17]

Start by seeing where the lines go. They cross (intersect) at (1, -1). We can use this to check later.
Now for slope: green is -4/2 = -2
pink is 4/2 = 2
Now we can create the equations
Let's make green = g(x) and pink = p(x)
if we use y = mx + b, then the green has a y-intercept (b) of +1
So g(x) = -2x + 1
pink has a y-intercept of -3, so p(x) = 2x - 3
Now let's plug n play: put our solutions x into each equation and confirm that it makes the y = -1
g(x) = -2x + 1 = -2(1) + 1 = -2+1 = -1
p(x) = 2x - 3 = 2(1) - 3 = 2-3 = -1

✔ YES THEY ARE CONFIRMED
