The way I figured this one out was saying that if it takes 2lbs to stretch it to 12 inches and 5lbs to stretch to 18 inches that means that 3 additional pounds = 6 inches. Therefore, each additional pound is 2 inches. We know already that with 2 lbs it was 12 inches in length and we can also say that 2 lbs = 4 inches. So subtract 4 from 12 and you end up with the answer of 8 inches.

To find the volume of each prism, you will multiply the length by the width by the height.

V = lwh
3 3/4 x 3 x 3 1/4
V = 36 9/16 cubic feet

V = lwh
1/4 x 1/4 x 1/4
V= 1/64 cubic feet

Both boxes are similar in that they can be described as a rectangular prism.

They are different because one prism has congruent edges, so we call it a cube. The other one has varying side lengths, therefore it is only a rectangular prism.

The product of two numbers is 41. One of the numbers
shepuryov [24]
<h3>Answer:   5 - 4i     (choice A)</h3>

===================================================

Work Shown:

x = the other number

(5+4i)*x = 41

x = 41/(5+4i)

x = 41*(5-4i)/( (5+4i)*(5-4i) ) ..... see note below

x = 41*(5-4i)/( 41 )

x = (41/41)*(5-4i)

x = 5 - 4i  

As a way to check, (5+4i)*(5-4i) = 5^2+4^2 = 25+16 = 41

The rule used is (a-bi)(a+bi) = a^2 + b^2

-----------

Note:  I multiplied top and bottom by (5-4i) to get rid of the imaginary term in the denominator.

Lisa started to drive from Boston to Washington, DC, which is 440 miles away, at 8:00 AM. For the first four hours of her trip,
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

60 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Total distance covered d = 440 miles

Average speed in the first 4 hours v1 = 50 mph

Total time taken for the whole trip t = 8:00 to 4:00pm

t = 16:00-8:00 = 8 hours

Firstly we need to calculate the distance covered during the first 4 hours;

d1 = average speed × time = v1 × t1

t1 = 4

d1 = 50 × 4 = 200 miles

Then we need to calculate the distance covered in the second period of the journey;

d = d1 + d2

d2 = d - d1

Substituting the values;

d2 = 440 - 200

d2 = 240 miles

The time taken for the second period of travel t2;

t2 = t -t1 = 8-4

t2 = 4 hours

Average speed = distance travelled ÷ time taken

The average speed for the second part of the trip v2 is;

v2 = d2 ÷ t2

Substituting t2 and d2;

v2 = 240 miles ÷ 4 hours

v2 = 60 mph

The average speed during the second part of the trip is 60 mph
