A shipping container is in the shape of a right rectangular prism with a length of 13.5 feet, a width of 4 feet, and a height of

7.5 feet. The container is completely filled with contents that weigh, on average, 0.56 pound per cubic foot. What is the weight of the contents in the container, to the nearest pound?

Answer: 227 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, the volume of a rectangular prism can be calculated with the following formula:

V=lwh

Where "w" is the width of the rectangular prism, "l" is the length and "h" is the height of the rectangular prism.

In this case you know that:

l=13.5\ ft\\\\w=4\ ft\\\\h= 7.5 ft

Substituting values into the formula, you get that the volume of the shipping container is:

V=(13.5\ ft)(4\ ft)( 7.5 ft)\\\\V=405\ ft^3

You know that it was completely filled with  contents that weigh 0.56 pound per cubic foot, approximately. Then, its density is:

d=0.56\ \frac{lb}{ft^3}

Since:

d=\frac{m}{V}

Where "m" is mass and "V" is volume, you can susbstitute values and solve for "m":

0.56\ \frac{lb}{ft^3}=\frac{m}{405\ ft^3}\\\\(0.56\ \frac{lb}{ft^3})(405\ ft^3)=m\\\\m\approx227\ lb

A) What's the volume of this fish tank? Show all work and express your answer as a mixed number in its most simplified form!
 By definition we have that the volume of a rectangular prism is given by:
 V = (w) * (l) * (h)
 Where,
 w: width
 l: long
 h: height
 We then have to replace the values:
 V = (7) * (5.5) * (2.5)
 V = 96.25 in ^ 3
 Equivalently:
 V = 96 1/4 in ^ 3


 B) Could this fish tank hold 100 in³ of water? Answer yes or no, then explain why in one or more sentences.

 No, this fish tank could not hold 100 in³ of water.
 This is because the prism volume (part A) is less than 100 in ^ 3.
 In other words;
 96 1/4 in ^ 3 <100 in ^ 3

If x+y=10 and x-y =6 what is the answer of x cube - y cube fast​
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

x+y=10 which means that x=10-y

Replace 10-y in the other equation which gives you:

10-y-y=6

10-2y=6

-2y=-4

y=2

Replace 2 in any of the 2 equations same answer for both:

x+y=10

x+2=10

x=8

So,

{x}^{3} - y^{3}

=  {8}^{3}  -  {2}^{3}

=512-8

=504

Hope this helps!
