Here is the answer!!!!!!!
The goal is to get the volume as large as possible while the surface area is made as small as possible. Why? Because the volume is the amount of stuff you can hold and the surface area is the amount of material to make the container.
Consider an example of making a cup. The inside portion is the amount the cup can hold. The more liquid, the better. The cup makers want to use as little material as possible so that they reduce costs. If the cup makers produce a cup that has volume of 10 cubic inches and uses 10 square inches of material, then the surface area to volume ratio is 10:10 which reduces to 1:1. A more efficient cup is made if that same volume (10 cubic inches) can be made for less material say 5 square inches to make the ratio now 5:10 which reduces to 1:2.
So in summary, reducing the surface area to volume ratio will make more sense economically as the company makes more money while reducing costs (therefore increasing overall profit)
Answer:
0.311 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Convert 16 seconds to hours :
16 /60×60
= 16÷3600
= .004444hrs
Distance = Speed × time
= 70 × 0.00444444
= 0.311 miles
Refer to the edited figure.
Triangles ABC and A'B'C' are similar because of AAA.
Also,

Therefore
ΔA'B'C' is 1/3 the size of ΔABC.
This means that the scale factor from ΔABC to ΔA'B'C' is a 3-factor reduction.
Answer: reduction; one-third.
The dilation is a reduction.
The scale factor of the dilation is one-third.
Given, the density of a particular brand of gasoline = 0.737 g/ml.
13.4 gallon of tank given. We have to find the mass of gasoline to fill the tank.
First we will convert 13.4 gallon to ml.
We know that 1 gallon = 3.78541 litre
And 1 litre = 1000 ml
So we can write 1 gallon =
= 3785.41 ml.
13.4 gallon =
ml = 50724.494 ml.
Let's take there is x grams of gasoline
We know that density = (mass/ volume) = 
So we can write,

To find x we will multiply both sides by 50724.494. we will get,



So we have got the required answer.
Mass of gasoline = 37383.95 grams.
