The restrooms for the former Estabrook Hall were known to each be 117 cubic feet in volume. We are tasked with creating a 1:4 sc

ale model of one of the rooms. For the purposes of this analysis, we'll treat the facilities like simple rectangular boxes. What is the volume of the model in cubic inches? If the model has a floor area of 117 sq. Inches, what is the height of the real facility? (include units with answer)

Answer:

1) The volume of the model is 3159 in.³

2) The height of the real facility is 61.94 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The parameters given are;

Volume of the Estabrook hall = 117 ft³

Scale of model = 1:4

For the scale factor of a volume, we have;

Volume \, scale \, factor =\left (\frac{a}{b}   \right )^3 = \left (\frac{1}{4}   \right )^3 = \frac{1}{64}

That is the volume of the model is 1/64 times the volume of the actual Estabrook hall restrooms or

\frac{1}{64} \times  117 \, ft^3= 1\tfrac{53}{64} \, ft^3

∴ The volume of the model = 1.83 ft.³

1 ft.³ = 1728 in.³

∴ 1.83 ft.³ = 1.83 ft.³ × 1728 in.³/ft.³ = 3159 in.³

2) Where the model of the floor has an area of 117 in.²

Therefore, since the volume of a rectangular prism shape = Floor area × Height, we have

The height, h = Volume/(floor area) = 3159/117 = 185.8 in.

From a scale of 1:4, we have that the height of the real facility = 4 × 185.8 in.

Hence, the height of the real facility = 743.3 in = 61.94 ft.

shusha [124]

Answer:

B. (1,-8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of the first one:

(-6-0)/(0--3) = -6/3 = -2

y = -2x - 6

3y + 30 = 6x

y + 10 = 2x

-2x - 6 + 10 = 2x

4 = 4x

x = 1

y = -2(1) - 6

y = -8

Can you please help me? Keep it a little basic. (no decimals) Thanks for the help!
Delvig [45]
When you are dividing fractions you just flip the second fraction upside down and multiply the two fractions
So the first is
½ x 6/1 = 6/2 = 3

For the second you write them as improper fractions then do the same
So it is
3/2 / 1/8 = 3/2 x 8/1 = 24/2 = 12

So the answer to the first question is 3 and the second is 12

Ameekah is working with consecutive integers
Irina-Kira [14]

Consecutive numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

As we can see it's the latest plus 1

So,

x, x + 1, x + 1 + 1, x + 1 + 1 + 1

x, x + 1, x + 2, x + 3 and so on

So it's x + 1.

Kharon needs to write 3 book reports with b pages and 3 science reports with s pages during the school year. Write an algebraic
aalyn [17]

Answer:

3b+3s

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the statement, Kharon needs to write 3 book reports with b pages. This means that he has 3 books and each of them has b amount of pages which you can express as b+b+b that is equal to 3b. Also, he has 3 science reports with s pages which is 3s. In order to find the total number of pages, you have to add up 3b plus 3s. According to this, the algebraic expression for the total number of pages Kharon will need to write is: 3b+3s.
