75 ÷ 15 = 5
Riley can cut 5 strips of ribbon each 15 inches long
Total amount needed for the video game = $200
Total amount of money saved = $68
Amount of money that is needed to be saved = 200-68 =132
So raj needs to work additional hours in order to earn the remaineder$132 for the video game
Hourly wage = $5.5
So, number of hours that Raj needs to work to earn $132 = $132/5.5 = 24 hours
Number of hours that Raj needs to work to earn the remainder of the money = 24 hours
Given:
Cost to build a bookshelf = $20
Cost to build a table = $45
Amount available to spend = $600
Let x = number of bookshelves built.
Let y = number of tables built.
The total number of bookshelves and tables = 18.
Therefore
x + y = 18.
That is,
y = 18 - x (1)
The total amount available to build x bookshelves and y tables = $600. Therefore
20x + 45y = 600
That is (dividing through by 5),
4x + 9y = 120 (2)
Substitute (1) into (2).
4x + 9(18 - x) = 120
4x + 162 - 9x = 120
-5x = -42
x = 8.4
From (1),obtain
y = 18 - 8.4 = 9.6
Because we cannot have fractional bookshelves and tables, we shall test values of x=8, 9 and y=9,10 for profit
Note: The profit is $60 per bookshelf and $100 per table.
If x = 8, then y = 18-8 = 10.
The profit = 8*60 + 10*100 = $1480
If x = 9, then y = 18-9 = 9.
The profit = 9*60 + 9*100 = $1440

Answer:
(c) The volume of a rectangular pyramid is 1/3 the volume of a rectangular prism. The volume of the rectangular pyramid is 66 cm3.
Step-by-step explanation:
The pyramid with the same overall dimensions will obviously have a smaller volume. The ratio is 1/3.
__
The formula for the volume of a rectangular prism is ...
V = LWH
The formula for the volume of a rectangular pyramid is ...
V = (1/3)LWH
The pyramid has 1/3 the volume of the prism.
