3 0

Answer:

60 sweets

Step-by-step explanation:

The total ratio = 2 + 2 +5 = 9

Let x = total sweets shared

Dan got 2/9 of x. This is equal to 24

the equation for this is - $\frac{2}{9}$ × x = 24

to solve for x, divide both sides by $\frac{9}{2}$

x = 108 = total sweet shared

sweets malachy got = $\frac{5}9}$ x 108 = 60 sweets

A carton has a length of 22/3 feet, width of 11/8 feet, and height of 11/5 feet, What is the volume of the carton?

cupoosta [38]

Length of a carton :

$= \frac{22}{3} \: feet$

Width of the carton :

$= \frac{11}{8} \: feet$

Height of the carton :

$= \frac{11}{5} \: feet$

Volume of the carton :

= Length × Width × Height

$= \frac{22}{3} \times \frac{11}{8} \times \frac{11}{5}$

$= \frac{2622}{120}$

$\color{hotpink} = 21.85 \: feet$

Therefore, the volume of the carton = 21.85 feet.
