Answer:

Option C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the container = 16 feet

Width of the container = 8 feet

Height of the container = 4.5 feet

Weight of the content = 0.50 pound per cubic foot.

Volume of the container = length × width × height = 16 × 8 × 4.5 = 576 feet³

Weight of the content in the container = 576 × 0.50 = 288 pounds

Therefore, Option C is correct.

A school cotains 357 boys and 323 girls if a student is chosen at random, what is the probability that it is a girl

solong [7]

Answer:

$P(G)=0.475$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Number of boys $N_b=357$

Number of girls $N_g=323$

Total Number of students

$N_t=N_b+N_g$

$N_t=680$

Generally the equation for Probability of Choosing a Girl is mathematically given by

$P(G)=\frac{N_g}{N_t}$

$P(G)=\frac{323}{680}$

$P(G)=0.475$

The area of the regular hexagon is 169.74 ft2 what is the perimeter, rounded to the nearest tenth

Bess [88]

Answer:

Perimeter of given regular hexagon is <em>48.5 ft</em>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>ABCDEF</em> be the regular hexagon as shown in the attached figure.

<em>O</em> be the intersection point of the diagonals <em>EB</em>, <em>FC </em>and <em>AD</em>.

As per the property of regular hexagon, all the 6 triangles formed are equilateral triangles.

In other words,

$\triangle EOD, \triangle DOC, \triangle BOC, \triangle AOB, \triangle AOF , \triangle FOE$ are equilateral $\triangle s$ .

Area of an equilateral $\triangle$ is defined as :

$\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \times a^{2}$

Where <em>a </em>is the side of $\triangle$ .

Area of hexagon = $6 \times \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\times a^{2}$

We are given that area of hexagon = 169.74 $ft^{2}$

Let <em>s </em>be the side of hexagon.

$\Rightarrow 6 \times \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{4}s^{2} = 169.74 ft^{2}\\\Rightarrow s = 8.08 ft$

A regular Hexagon is made up of 6 equal sides, so

Perimeter of a regular hexagon = $6 \times side$

Perimeter = $6 \times 8.08$

$\Rightarrow 48.5 ft$

So, perimeter of given regular hexagon is $48.5 ft$ .

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

We require to calculate the volume (V) of the cone and sphere.

The volume of a cone is calculated as

V = $\frac{1}{3}$ πr²h ( r is the radius and h the height )

Here diameter = 5, hence r = 5 ÷ 2 = 2.5, thus

V = $\frac{1}{3}$ π × 2.5² × 8 ≈ 52.36 cm³

The volume of a sphere is calculated as

V = $\frac{4}{3}$ πr³ ( r is the radius )

Here diameter = 5, hence r = 5 ÷ 2 = 2.5, thus

V= $\frac{4}{3}$ π × 2.5³ ≈ 65.45 cm³

Since volume of the sphere is greater than the volume of the cone

Thus when the ice cream melts it will overflow → D

There are two mystery numbers. The sum of 2 times the first number and 3 times the second number is -18. The sum of 3 times the

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

-3 and -4

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 1st number

y = 2nd number

set up system of equations:

2x + 3y = -18

3x + 2y = -17

elimination method: multiply 1st equation by -2 and second by 3

-4x - 6y = 36

+

<u> 9x + 6y = -51</u>

5x = -15

x = -3

find y: 2(-3) + 3y = -18

-6 + 3y = -18

3y = -12

y = -4
