Answer:

  Wyatt is incorrect in his calculations

Step-by-step explanation:

The units of base area are square inches. When Wyatt multiplies that by height, he gets a number with units of cubic inches. This is a volume, not an area. If Wyatt is trying to compute an area, he is doing it incorrectly.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

I find units analysis to be very helpful in keeping calculations of speed, distance, area, volume, acceleration, velocity, and other physical phenomena straight. If the units come out right, chances are much better that the numbers are being combined appropriately.

Wyatt may need to be using the perimeter of the base, rather than the area of the base. Without the diagram it is tough to tell what the calculation should be.

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer: He ended up with about 1 pound less grapes

Step-by-step explanation:

2 bags of grapes weighing 5 and two-thirds pounds each will give a total weight of:

= 2 × 5 2/3

= 2 × 17/3

= 34/3

= 11 1/3 pounds

3 bags weighing 4 and one-fifth pounds each, will give a weight of:

= 3 × 4 1/5

= 3 × 21/5

= 63/5

= 12 3/5

He ended up buying lesser grapes. This was about 12 3/5 - 11 1/3 = 1 4/15 less. This means that he ended up with about 1 pound less grapes

kati45 [8]

Question:

Morgan is playing a board game that requires three standard dice to be thrown at one time. Each die has six sides, with one of the numbers 1 through 6 on each side. She has one throw of the dice left, and she needs a 17 to win the game. What is the probability that Morgan wins the game (order matters)?

Answer:

1/72

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Morgan can roll a 17 in 3 different ways. The first way is if the first die comes up 5, the second die comes up 6, and the third die comes up 6. The second way is if the first die comes up 6, the second die comes up 5, and the third die comes up 6. The third way is if the first die comes up 6, the second die comes up 6, and the third die comes up 5. For each way, the probability of it occurring is  1/6 x 1/6 x 1/6 = 1/216. Therefore, since there are 3 different ways to roll a 17, the probability that Morgan rolls a 17 and wins the game is  1/216 + 1/216 + 1/216 = 3/216 = 1/72</em>
