A container built for transatlantic shipping is constructed in the shape of a right rectangular prism. Its dimensions are 7.5 ft

Yuri [45]

Considering the definition of right rectangular prism and its volume, the total weight of the contents is 38.81 pounds.

<h3>Right rectangular prism</h3>

A right rectangular prism (or cuboid) is a polyhedron whose surface is formed by two equal and parallel rectangles called bases and by four lateral faces that are also parallel rectangles and equal two to two.

<h3>Volume of right rectangular prism</h3>

To calculate the volume of the rectangular prism, it is necessary to find the product of its dimensions, or of the three edges that converge at a certain vertex.

That is, to calculate the volume of a rectangular prism, multiply its 3 dimensions: length×width×height.

<h3>Volume of the container </h3>

In this case, you know that:

the dimensions of the container built are 7.5 ft by 11.5 ft by 3 ft.
the container is entirely full and, on average, its contents weigh 0.15 pounds per cubic foot.

So, the volume of the container is calculated as:

7.5 ft× 11.5 ft× 3 ft= <u><em>258.75 ft³</em></u>

Then, the total weight of the contents is calculated as:

258.75 ft³× 0.15 pounds per cubic foot= <u><em>38.8125 pounds≅ 38.81 pounds</em></u>

Finally, the total weight of the contents is 38.81 pounds.

Element X decays radioactively with a half life of 14 minutes. If there are 760 grams of Element X, how long, to the nearest ten

Mkey [24]

Answer:

85.5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of an element that will remain after time t can be expressed as a function of initial amount N0, time t, and half life th as;

Nt = N0 × e^(-λt)

Where;

Decay constant λ = ln(2)/th, substituting into the equation;

Nt = N0 × e^(-ln(2)t/th)

We need to make t the subject of formula;

Nt/N0 = e^(-ln(2)t/th)

ln(Nt/N0) = -ln(2)t/th

t = ln(Nt/N0) ÷ -ln(2)/th

Given;

Initial amount N0 = 760g

Final amount Nt = 11 g

Half life th = 14 minutes

the nearest tenth of a minute, would it take the element to decay to 11 grams can be derived using the formula;

t = ln(Nt/N0) ÷ -ln(2)/th

Substituting the given values;

t = ln(11/760) ÷ -ln(2)/14

t = 85.5 minutes

A plumber is replacing a pipe in a kitchen. The old pipe

Andrew [12]

Answer:

2.57

Step-by-step explanation:

All the plumber has to do is subtract the longer length of the new pipe (10) with the length of the old pipe (7.43) to see how much he needs to cut off.

Cadence is substituting t=4 and t=6 to determine if the two expressions are equivalent.

liberstina [14]

Answer:

Both expressions are equivalent to 78 when t = 6 ⇒ answer A

Step-by-step explanation:

* To solve this problem substitute the value of t and then check

the answer

∵ The first expression is 2(7t - 3) ⇒ simplify it

# 2(7t) = 14t

# 2(3) = 6

∴ 2(7t - 3) = 14t - 6

- Substitute t by 4

∴ 14t - 6 = 14(4) - 6 = 56 - 6 = 50

- Substitute t by 6

∴ 14t - 6 = 14(6) - 6 = 84 - 6 = 78

∵ The second expression is 15t - 12

- Substitute t by 4

∴ 15t - 12 = 15(4) - 12 = 60 - 12 = 48

- Substitute t by 6

∴ 15t - 12 = 15(6) - 12 = 90 - 12 = 78

- The first expression has two values

# 50 when t = 4

# 78 when t = 6

- The second expression has two values

# 48 when t = 4

# 78 when t = 6

- From these information

# The two expressions have the same value 78 when t = 6

∴ Both expressions are equivalent to 78 when t = 6
