Answer:

1.33 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of any shape is given by cross sectional area multiplied by height. Therefore, V=Ah

Where A is area and h is height

Since their cross sections are the same, then volume depends on height.

If 12cm equals 2 liters

8cm equals x

X=(2*8)/12=1.3333333333333 liters

Approximayely, the smaller pail has capacity of 1.33 liters

Answer:

0.7938

Step-by-step explanation:

z1 = (125-100)/15 = 1.667

P( < 125) = 0.9522

z2 = (85-100)/15 = -1

P( > 85) = 0.8413

0.9522 + 0.8413 - 1 = 0.7935

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

$x = 33$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Students = 28$

$Brownies = 23$

$Brownies = 2\ per\ student$

Required

Determine the number of brownies left

If:

$Brownies = 2\ per\ student$

and there are 28 students

Then:

$Total\ Brownies = 2 * 28$

$Total\ Brownies = 56$

To determine the number of brownies left, we have:

$Total\ Brownies = Brownies\ Made + Brownies\ Left$

$56 = 23 + x$

Reorder

$x + 23 = 56$

Collect Like Terms

$x = 56 - 23$

$x = 33$

<em>Hence, there are 33 brownies left</em>
