A new sidewalk will be 5 feet wide, 100 feet long, and filled to a depth of 3 inches (0.25 foot) with concrete. How many cub

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

4.63 cubic yard.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The length of sidewalk, l = 100 feet,

Width, w = 5 feet,

Depth, h = 3 inches = 0.25 feet,

Thus, the volume of the concrete needed for making the sidewalk,

$V=l\times w\times h$

$=100\times 5\times 0.25$

= 125 cubic feet,

∵ 1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet,

⇒ 1 cubic feet = $\frac{1}{27}$ cubic yard,

Thus, the quantity of concrete needed = $\frac{125}{27}$ ≈ 4.63 cubic yard.

siniylev [52]

Answer:

The ratio of the area of the school banner to the area of the sign is <u>1944 cubic inches : 192.61 cubic inches.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A rectangular school banner has a length of 54 inches and a width of 36 inches. A sign is made that is similar to the school banner and has a length of 17 inches.

Now, to find the ratio of the area of the school banner to the area of the sign.

Dimensions of school banner :

Length = 54 inches.

Width = 36 inches.

Dimension of school sign:

Length = 17 inches.

So, to we find the width of sign by using cross multiplication method:

Let the width be $x.$

So, 54 is equivalent to 36.

Thus, 17 is equivalent to $x.$

$\frac{54}{36} =\frac{17}{x}$

By cross multiplying we get:

$54x=612$

Dividing both sides by 54 we get:

$x=11.33\ inches.$

Thus, the width of sign = 11.33 inches.

Now, to get the ratio of the area of the school banner to the area of the sign:

Area of the school banner : Area of the school sign.

= $54\times 36:17\times 11.33$

= $1944:192.61$

Therefore, the ratio of the area of the school banner to the area of the sign is 1944 cubic inches : 192.61 cubic inches.

The table shows how many books the students in Bergdalsskolan list during the summer. There were 48 students who list 4 books. a

Juliette [100K]

Step 1:

First, find the total number of students.

Let the total number of students = m

Step 2:

Find the total number of students using the percentage of 4 books.

48 students listed 4 books with a percentage of 16%

$\begin{gathered} 48\text{ = 16\% of m} \\ 48\text{ = }\frac{16}{100}\text{ }\times\text{ m} \\ 48\text{ = }\frac{16m}{100} \\ \text{Cross multiply} \\ 16m\text{ = 48 }\times\text{ 100} \\ 16m\text{ = 4800} \\ \text{m = }\frac{4800}{16} \\ \text{m = 300} \end{gathered}$

Hence, there are 300 students.

$\begin{gathered} \text{Number of students that had 1 book = 24\% of 300} \\ =\text{ }\frac{24}{100}\text{ }\times\text{ 300} \\ =\text{ }\frac{7200}{100} \\ =\text{ 72 students} \end{gathered}$

72 students had 1 book.

b) What percentage more read 2 books than 4 books?

percentage that read 2 books = 36%

percentage that read 4 books = 16%

36 - 16 = 20%

There are 20% students that read 2 books than 4 books.
