Question

a milk tank at a a dairy farm has the form of a rectangular prism. The tank is 3.5 feet wide. The width of the tank is 5/7 of its length and the height is 4/5 of its width. How many cubic feet of milk can the tank hold. How many pounds of milk can it hold if 1 cubic foot of milk weights 66.5 lb

Answer 1

Answer:

17.5 cubic feet

1163.75 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

L = 3.5                                    Given

W = 5/7  *  3.5                        Divide by 7

W = 5 * 0.5                             Combine

W = 2.5

H = 4/5 * w

H = 4/5 * 2.5

H = 4 * 0.5

H = 2

Volume

V = L * w * h

V = 3.5 * 2.5 * 2

V = 17.5

Weight

1  Cubic foot Milk = 66.5 pounds

17.5 cubic feet milk = x

1 / 17.5 = 66.5/ x

x = 17.5 * 66.5

x = 1164.75
