Answer: yes, it is

Step-by-step explanation:

A number is divisible by 6 if it is divisible by 2 and 3 simultaniously.

n = k(k+1)(k-1)

If k-1 is a multiple of 3, n is divisible by 3, so one of the requirements is ok.

Now, if k-1 is a multiple of 3, it can be even or odd.

if k-1 is even, then it is divisible by 2 and as it is divisible by 3 as well, n is divisible by 6

if k-1 is odd, then k and k+1 is even, hence, divisible by 2.

As n = k(k+1)(k-1), n is also divisible by 6.

The zoo feeds the tortoise, rhinoceros, and zebra a total of 23 pounds of vegetables a day. How many pounds does the zoo feed th
vekshin1

If I understand your question correctly, you want to know how many pounds of vegetables the zoo feeds the animals a month if its a 30 day month?

In that case it would be 23 pounds times 30 days which is 690 pounds of vegetables. SO the zoo feeds the animals 690 pounds of vegetables to the animals each month.

Is that what your asking for?

IF A LIQUID WEIGHS 2 POUNDS AND HAS A CApacity of 3 gallons. what is its density
umka21 [38]

Answer:

0.08 g/cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

  • Mass of the liquid = 2 pounds

But; 1 pound = 453.592 g

Therefore, mass = 907.184 g

  • Volume of the liquid = 3 gallons

But; 1 gallon = 3785.41 cm³

Thus, volume = 11356.23 cm³

We are required to determine the density of the liquid;

We need to know that;

Density = Mass ÷ Volume

Therefore;

density of the liquid = 907.184 g ÷ 11356.23 cm³

                                 = 0.0799 g/cm³

                                = 0.08 g/cm³

Thus, the volume of the liquid is 0.08 g/cm³
