If we assume Sam would achieve his aim of cutting the metal into 8 pieces.
Then he will make 8 cuts. It takes him 5 minutes to make each cut. This is how long it takes to make the cut. This only tells us that he will take a total of 8*5 = 40 minutes, to make all the cuts.
 
Sam will make 8 cuts as stated in the question.
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
0.4 would represent the strongest correlation.
Step-by-step explanation:
Generally, a value of r greater than 0.7 is considered a strong correlation. Anything between 0.5 and 0.7 is a moderate correlation, and anything less than 0.4 is considered a weak or no correlation
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
5/8
Step-by-step explanation:
Geometric mean is found by multiplying the n number of values and then taking the n-root. 
To do this with these numbers, sqrt((9/16)*(25/36)) = (3/4)(5/6) = (1/4)(5/2)= 5/8
I hope this helps! :)
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer: <em>Multiplying these factors gives the approximate volume of the original body</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>The given convex body can be approximated by a sequence of nested bodies, eventually reaching one of known volume (a hypersphere), with this approach used to estimate the factor by which the volume changes at each step of this sequence.</em>
