Joe is finding the length of a rectangular prism. The volume of the prism is 204 ft3. The width is 3.5 ft, and the height is 5 f

t. His work is shown below.
V = l w h. 204 = 3.5 (5) l. 204 = 8.5 l. StartFraction 204 Over 8.5 EndFraction = StartFraction 8.5 Over 8.5 EndFraction l. 24 = l.

What error did Joe make?
He incorrectly substituted into the volume formula.
He added 3.5 and 5 when he should have multiplied them.
He incorrectly divided 204 by 8.5.
He did not make a mistake in finding the length of the prism.

Answer:

B. He added 3.5 and 5 when he should have multiplied them.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's observe Joe's steps:

- V = lwh

- 204 = 3.5 * (5) * l

Here, * means to multiply, so we're supposed to multiply 3.5 to 5, which would give you the answer 17.5. Unfortunately, look what Joe got: he obtained the value of 8.5, and if we observe, 3.5 + 5 = 8.5.

That's how we know that Joe added instead of multiplied, as he should have done. Thus, the answer is B.

Answer:

He added 3.5 and 5 when he should have multiplied them.

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume = length × width × height

204 = 3.5 × 5 × length

204 = 17.5 × lenth

length = 204/17.5

length = 11.65714286

Use the second method in the preceding segment to find the probability that the 6th toss out of a total of 10 tosses is Heads, g
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

<h2>The answer is 0.008789.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of getting a head or tail in a toss is \frac{1}{2}.

It is given that in the 6th toss, the outcome should be head.

Rather than the 6th toss, there are 9 tosses. From these 9 tosses 1 toss can be selected in 9 ways.

Hence, the probability is 9\times\frac{1}{2^{10}} =  0.008789.

A ball is tossed between three friends. The first toss is 8.6 feet, the second is 5.8 feet, and the third toss is 7.5 feet, whic

angles formed by these tosses are  79.45, 59.02 and 41.53 degrees to the nearest hundredth.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Here , We have a triangle with sides of length 8.6 feet, 5.8 feet and 7.5 feet.

The Law of Cosines (also called the Cosine Rule) says:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab (cosx)

Using the Cosine Rule to find the measure of the angle opposite the side of length 8.6 feet:

⇒ c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab (cosx)

⇒ c^2 -a^2 - b^2 = -2ab (cosx)

⇒ (cosx) =\frac{ c^2 -a^2 - b^2}{ -2ab}

⇒ (cosx) =\frac{(8.6^2 - 5.8^2 - 7.5^2)}{ ( -2(5.8)7.5)}

⇒ (cosx) =0.18310

⇒ cos^{-1}(cosx) = cos^{-1}(0.18310)

⇒ x = 79.45

The Law of Sines (or Sine Rule) is very useful for solving triangles:

\frac{a}{sin A} = \frac{ b}{sin B} =  \frac{c}{sin C}

We can now find another angle using the sine rule:

⇒\frac{ 8.6 }{ sin 79.45} = \frac{7.5}{ sin Y}

⇒sin Y = \frac{(7.5 (sin 79.45))}{  8.6}

⇒Y = 59.02 degrees

So, the third angle =180 - 79.45 - 59.02 = 41.53 degrees.

Therefore, angles formed by these tosses are  79.45, 59.02 and 41.53 degrees to the nearest hundredth.

A textbook search committee is considering

Number of ways to select 3 books from 13 books for adoption is 286 .

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

A Permutation is an ordered Combination. When the order does matter it is a Permutation. There are basically two types of permutation:

  • Repetition is Allowed: such as the lock above. It could be "333".
  • No Repetition: for example the first three people in a running race. You can't be first and second.

Formula is given by:

nC_r= \frac{n!}{r! (n-r)!} , where n is the number of things to choose from,  and we choose r of them,  no repetitions,  order matters. Here , n=13 , r=3.

⇒ 13C_3 = \frac{13!}{3!(13-3)!}

⇒ 13C_3 = \frac{13!}{3!(10)!}

⇒ 13C_3 = \frac{13(12)(11)10!}{3(2)(1)(10)!}

⇒ 13C_3 = 13(2)(11)

⇒ 13 C_3 = 286

∴ Number of ways to select 3 books from 13 books for adoption is 286 .

Answer:

19

Step-by-step explanation:

maximum no. of bag filled by 4275 sweets,is

4275/28 ~=152

therefore , there is 4256 sweets in 152 bags

therefore,4275-4256=19 sweets are left
