Cal's go cart has a gas tank with the dimensions shown below. He uses a gas can that holds 1 gallon of gas, to fill the go cart tank. 1 gallon = 231 inches^3. How many full gas cans will it take to fill the go cart's gas tank?

Answer: 2 full gas cans

Step-by-step explanation:

From the image, we have the following dimensions:

length, l = 15.4 inches (in)

width, w = 10 in

height, h = 3 in.

The volume of the gas tank (which is rectangular) is given as:

$Volume = length * width * height = lwh\\\\Volume = 15.4 * 10 * 3 = 462 cubic inches = 462in^{3}$

NB: The unit of volume is cubic units. In this example, it is cubic inches.

The gas can being used to fill the tank holds 1 gallon of gas = $231in^{3}$

The total volume to be filled is $462in^{3}$ of gas.

So, it will take $\frac{462in^{3} }{231in^{3} } = 2$ full gas cans to fill the go cart's gas tank.

Therefore, the answer is 2.

The number of days ahead travelers purchase their airline tickets can be modeled by an exponential distribution with the average

agasfer [191]

Answer:P(x<10) =0

Step-by-step explanation:

M =1/μ

M= 1/15 =0.066667

X- Exp (0.066667)

Where: X is the random variable for number of days

P (X<x) = 1 - e^-mx

P(X - x) = 1 - e^-0.06666 x10

P(x<10) = 0
