Answer:

Asa forgot to floss for 106 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, we will start by writing out the details we are given clearly.

Length of floss used per day = 18 inches

Original length of floss bought for use = 50 ft = 600 inches

Number of days between March 17th and August 2nd = 138 days

Length of floss left after August 2nd = 2 feet = 24 inches

From this, we can clearly calculate the length of floss used.

This will be original floss length - length of floss remaining = 600 - 24 = 576 inches

Length of floss used = 576 inches

If Asa used 18 inches per day, we can find the number of days he flossed by  dividing the length used in total by the length used per day.

That will be 576/18 = 32 days

if Asa flossed for only 32 days, the number of days he didn't floss is 138 - 32 =106 days

Hence, Asa didn't floss for 106 days.

Doña Gertrudis recolecta en promedio 75 litros de leche de cabra por día y utiliza alrededor de 5 litros para hacer un kilogramo
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

825 pesos a day on average

1 dozen weight = 2.4 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

In ENGLISH:

Doña Gertrudis collects on average 75 liters of goat milk per day and uses around 5 liters to make one kilogram of cheese. The cheeses he makes weigh 200 grams each and he sells them for 132 pesos a dozen. How much money do you get per day on average from the sale of your cheeses? How many kilograms does the dozen cheeses weigh?

<u>Solution:</u>

75 Liters / 5 Liters = 15

15 * 1 kg = 15 kg of cheese per day

15kg in grams is 15*1000 = 15,000 grams

Each cheese block is 200 grams, so number of blocks of cheese:

15,000/200 = 75 blocks of cheese

1 dozen (12) = 132 pesos, so 1 would be:

132/12 = 11 pesos PER BLOCK

SO, 75 blocks of cheese = 75 * 11 = <u>825 pesos (per day on average)</u>

<u></u>

Dozen cheese weight in kg,

200 grams * 12 = 2400 grams

In kg,

2400/1000 = <u>2.4 kg</u>

An ice cream store has the pricing shown below. You want to determine the best value. The height of the cone is 4.5 in and the d
nignag [31]

Solution:

Step 1:

We will calculate the volume of ice cream in the single scoop

The volume of the ice cream will be

\begin{gathered} V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h+\frac{2}{3}\pi r^3 \\ r=\frac{2in}{2}=1in(cone) \\ h=4.5in \\ r=\frac{3in}{2}=1.5in(radius\text{ of the hemisphere\rparen} \end{gathered}

By substituting the values, we will have

\begin{gathered} V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^{2}h+\frac{2}{3}\pi r^{3} \\ V=\frac{1}{3}\times\frac{22}{7}\times1^2\times4.5+\frac{2}{3}\times\frac{22}{7}\times1.5^3 \\ V=\frac{33}{7}+\frac{99}{14} \\ V=\frac{165}{14} \\ V=11.79in^3 \end{gathered}

Step 2:

We will use the formula below to calculate the volume of the two scoops of ic cream

\begin{gathered} V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h+\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 \\ V=\frac{1}{3}\times\frac{22}{7}\times1^2\times4.5in+\frac{4}{3}\times\frac{22}{7}\times1.5^3 \\ V=\frac{33}{7}+\frac{99}{7} \\ V=\frac{132}{7} \\ V=18.86in^3 \end{gathered}

Step 3:

We will use the formula below to calculate the volume of the three scoops of ic cream

\begin{gathered} V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h+\frac{6}{3}\pi r^3 \\ V=\frac{1}{3}\times\frac{22}{7}\times1^2\times4.5+2\times\frac{22}{7}\times1.5^3 \\ V=\frac{33}{7}+\frac{297}{14} \\ V=\frac{363}{14} \\ V=25.93in^3 \end{gathered}

For the first ice cream with one scoop

\begin{gathered} 1in^3=\frac{3.50}{11.79} \\ 1in^3=\text{ \$}0.30 \end{gathered}

For the second ice cream with two scoops

\begin{gathered} 1in^3=\frac{4.50}{18.86} \\ 1in^3=\text{ \$}0.24 \end{gathered}

For the third ice cream with three scoops

\begin{gathered} 1in^3=\frac{5.50}{25.93} \\ 1in^3=\text{ \$}0.21 \end{gathered}

Hence,

The final answer is

The triple sold at $5.50 has the best value because it has the lowest price of $0.21 per cubic inch of the ice cream

A rectangular prism made of wood has a length of 10 centimeters, a width of 8 centimeters, and a height of 12 centimeters. A rec
lukranit [14]

Answer:

Prism volume = lbh

= 10*8*12

= 960cm^3

Note: I'm assuming the hole was cut right through it...

Hole volume = lbh

= 2*3*12

= 72cm^3

Final volume = 960 - 72 = 888cm^3
