General Idea:

We need to find the volume of the small cube given the side length of the small cube as 1/4 inch.

Also we need to find the volume of the right rectangular prism with the given dimension (the height is 4 1/2, the width is 5, and the length is 3 3/4).

To find the number of small cubes that are needed to completely fill the right rectangular prism, we need to divide volume of right rectangular prism by volume of each small cube.

Formula Used:

Volume \; of \; Cube = a^3 \; \\\{where \; a \; is \; side \; length \; of \; cube\}\\\\Volume \; of  \; Right \; Rectangular  \; Prism=L \times W \times H\\\{Where  \; L \; is \; Length, \; W \; is \; Width, \;and  \; H \; is \; Height\}

Applying the concept:

Volume of Small Cube:

V_{cube}= (\frac{1}{4}  )^3= \frac{1}{64} \; in^3\\\\V_{Prism}=  3 \frac{3}{4}  \times 5 \times  4 \frac{1}{2}  = \frac{15}{4}  \times \frac{5}{1}  \times \frac{9}{2}  = \frac{675}{8}  \\\\Number \; of \; small \; cubes= \frac{V_{Prism}}{V_{Cube}}   = \frac{675}{8}  \div \frac{1}{64}  \\\\Flip \; the \; second \; fraction\; and \; multiply \; with \; the \; first \; fraction\\\\Number \; of \; small \; cubes \;= \frac{675}{8} \times \frac{64}{1}   = 5400

Conclusion:

The number of small cubes with side length as 1/4 inches that are needed to completely fill the right rectangular prism whose height is 4 1/2 inches, width is 5 inches, and length is 3 3/4 inches is <em><u>5400 </u></em>

On Sunday Sheldon bought 3 and 1/2kg of plant food. He used 1 and 2/3kg on his strawberry plants and used 1/4kg for his tomato p
notsponge [240]

The remaining plant food is: 1 7/12 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Total Plant food = 3 1/2 kg

Plant food used on Strawberry Plants = 1 2/3 kg

Plant food used on tomato Plants = 1/4 kg

We will first calculate the total food plant used and then subtract the used plant food from the total plant food.

So,

Total\ Plant\ Food\ used=1\frac{2}{3}+\frac{1}{4}\\=\frac{5}{3}+\frac{1}{4}\\=\frac{20+3}{12}\\=\frac{23}{12}

Now,

Left\ Food\ Plant=3\frac{1}{2}-\frac{23}{12}\\=\frac{7}{2}-\frac{23}{12}\\=\frac{42-23}{12}\\=\frac{19}{12}\\=1\frac{7}{12}

The remaining plant food is: 1 7/12 kg
