Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Volume = 270 cm³

height = 5 cm

length = ?

width = ?

Formula

Volume of a rectangular prism = height x length x width

- Solve for Area of the base (height x length)

Area of the base = Volume / height

-Substitution

Area of the base = 270 / 5

-Result

Area of the base = 54 m²

2.- Find the prime factors of 54

                    54   2

                    27   3

                      9   3

                      3   3

                       1

3.- The possible values of the sidas of the rectangle are:

Combining the prime factor of 54.

              Length                        Width

              2 x 3 = 6           and    3 x 3 = 9

or            2 x 3 x 3 = 18   and    3 x 1 = 3

or            3 x 3 x 3 = 27  and     2 x 1 = 2

an oil company drilled several walls.fifty wells, or 25%,produced oil.what was the total number of wells that were drilled
Phantasy [73]
25% is equal to 100/25=1/4

We can substitute this into an equation to get the total number of wells where n can be equal to the total number of wells.

1/4*n=50
n/4=50
n=50*4
n=200

The total number of wells that were drilled was 200.
