$4 is the original price of the jar consisting of peanut butter so therefor it = 100%. It's for sale at $3.60, so we divide $4 by 100% so we get the percentage for each cent and then we times it by 3.60 to get the percentage for $3.60 which is 90%. Now we subtract 90% from 100% to get the discounted percentage for 40cents :)

Explain how you can find the missing number and 3 4/5 divided by something equals 2 5/7 then find the missing number

enyata [817]

let's firstly, convert the mixed fractions to improper, and then do equation.

$\bf \stackrel{mixed}{3\frac{4}{5}}\implies \cfrac{3\cdot 5+4}{5}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{19}{5}}
~\hfill
\stackrel{mixed}{2\frac{5}{7}}\implies \cfrac{2\cdot 7+5}{7}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{19}{7}}
\\\\[-0.35em]
\rule{34em}{0.25pt}$

$\bf \cfrac{~~\frac{19}{5}~~}{x}=\cfrac{19}{7}\implies \cfrac{~~\frac{19}{5}~~}{\frac{x}{1}}=\cfrac{19}{7}\implies \cfrac{19}{5}\cdot \cfrac{1}{x}=\cfrac{19}{7}\implies \cfrac{19}{5x}=\cfrac{19}{7}
\\\\\\
\stackrel{}{\cfrac{7}{5x}=\cfrac{19}{19}}\implies \cfrac{7}{5x}=1\implies 7=5x\implies \cfrac{7}{5}=x\implies 1\frac{2}{5}=x$

The right rectangular prism is made up of 48 cubes. Each cube has an edge length of inch. What is the volume of this prism?

Gnesinka [82]

Given:

The right rectangular prism is made up of 48 cubes.
Each cube has an edge length of 1/4 inch.

$~$

To Find:

What is the volume of this prism?

$~$

Solution:

$~$

Using formula: 

$~$

$\sf \pmb {Volume \: of \: cube = {(side)}^{3} }$

$~$

Substituting values in the formula:

$~$

$\sf \longrightarrow \dfrac{1}{4} \times \dfrac{1}{4} \times \dfrac{1}{4}$

$\sf \longrightarrow \dfrac{1}{64} \: {inch}^{3}$

$~$

Now,

Volume of 48 such cubes = Volume of 1 cube × 48 cubes

$~$

$\sf \longrightarrow \dfrac{1}{64} \times 48$

$\sf \longrightarrow \dfrac{48}{64}$

$\sf \longrightarrow \dfrac{3}{4} \: {inch}^{3}$

$~$

Hence,

Volume of prism is 3/4 inch^3
