Answer:

(a) 3\frac{2}{3} boxes of cat food had been sold.

(b) \frac{11}{3} boxes of cat food had been sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

Polly stacked the tins from five boxes of cat food onto an empty shelf and there were 15 tins of cat food in each box. That is,

5 × 15 tins of cat food were stacked onto the empty shelf.

5 × 15 = 75

Hence, 75 tins of cat food were stacked onto the empty shelf.

Also, from the question,

At the end of the week there were 20 tins left on the shelf and the rest of the tins had been sold, that is

75 - 20 tins had been sold

75 - 20 = 55

Hence, 55 tins of cat food had been sold.

To determine the number of boxes of cat food that had been sold,

Since there are 15 tins of cat food per box, then

we will divide 55 tins of cat food that had been sold by 15 tins of cat food per box

55 ÷ 15 = \frac{55}{15}

Hence, \frac{55}{15} boxes of cat food had been sold

(a) As a mixed number

\frac{55}{15}  = 3\frac{2}{3}

Hence, 3\frac{2}{3} boxes of cat food had been sold.

(b) As an improper fraction

\frac{55}{15}  = \frac{11}{3}

Hence, \frac{11}{3} boxes of cat food had been sold.

A foam kickboard to use for swimming has two identical hand grips.
arsen [322]

Answer:

a. 215.6 in^3

b. 1.51 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of each hand grip hole is that of a circle of radius 0.6 in together with a rectangle 2 in long and 1.2 in wide. So, that area is ...

π·(0.6 in)^2 + (2 in)(1.2 in) = (0.36π +2.4) in^2

The area of the kickboard before the hand grip holes are put in is that of a semicircle of radius 5.5 in together with a rectangle 12 in long and 11 in wide. So, that area is ...

(1/2)·π·(5.5 in)^2 + (12 in)(11 in) = (15.125π +132) in^2

Taking the hand grip holes out, the top area of the board is ...

((15.125π +132) -2(0.36π +2.4)) in^2

= (14.405π + 127.2) in^2

___

a. The volume is the product of the area and the thickness, so is ...

((14.405π +127.2) in^2)·(1.25 in) ≈ 215.568 in^3

__

b. The weight of the kickboard is the product of its volume and its density:

(215.568 in^3)(0.007 lb/in^3) ≈ 1.509 lb
