Answer:
<h2>5 quarts</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's think through this bit by bit.
<em>10 lbs * 16 oz/lb = 160 oz. of apples.</em>
In the proportion below, we can see we simply divide by 8, in terms of magnitude.
8 oz -> 1 cup
160 oz -> 160/8 -> 20 cup
20 cups! Is it the answer? NO! They're asking for it in units of <em>quarts, not cups.</em>
We must remember that 1 quart = 4 cups.
20 cups * 1/4 qt/cups = 5 quarts
Answer:
927 cubic inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of the octagonal base is ...
A = (1/2)Pa
where P is the perimeter, and 'a' is the apothem. Using the given numbers, the base area is ...
A = (1/2)(8·4)(4.83) = 77.28 . . . square inches
The volume of the prism is given by ...
V = Bh
where B represents the area of the base, and h is the height.
V = (77.28 in^2)(12 in) = 927.36 in^3
The volume of the prism is about 927 cubic inches.
