Answer:

The volume of foam needed to fill the box is approximately 2926.1 cubic inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the amount of foaming that is needed to fill the rest of the box we first need to calculate the volume of the box and the volume of the ball. Since the box is cubic it's volume is given by the formula below, while the formula for the basketball, a sphere, is also shown.

Vcube = a³

Vsphere = (4*pi*r³)/3

Where a is the side of the box and r is the radius of the box. The radius is half of the diameter. Applying the data from the problem to the expressions, we have:

Vcube = 15³ = 3375 cubic inches

Vsphere = (4*pi*(9.5/2)³)/3 = 448.921

The volume of foam there is needed to complete the box is the subtraction between the two volumes above:

Vfoam = Vcube - Vsphere = 3375 - 448.921 = 2926.079 cubic inches

The volume of foam needed to fill the box is approximately 2926.1 cubic inches.

Un productor agricola tiene que envasar huevos en cajas de 12, de 6 o de 30. Si sabemos que tiene un numero parecido a 1000 huev
musickatia [10]

Answer:

El productor tiene que envasar 960 huevos.

Step-by-step explanation:

Es necesario determinar el mínimo común múltiplo de 6, 12 y 30. En primer lugar, se determina cada número como productos de números primos:

6 = 2\times 3

12 = 2^{2}\times 3

30 = 2\times 3\times 5

El mínimo común múltiplo es:

M.C.M. = 2^{2}\times 3\times 5

M.C.M. = 60

El número total de huevos próximo a 1000 unidades es un múltiplo del mínimo común múltiplo:

n = 60\times 16

n = 960

El productor tiene que envasar 960 huevos.

Explain it hank needs 3 quarters to play one video game each time.if he has 14 quarters, how many timed can he play? Explain.
ratelena [41]
<span> The answer is is 4 times. </span>
<span>The reason it is 4 is because 3 times 4 is 12 and 12 is less than 14. If you did 3 quarters times 5, you would get 15, going over the limit.</span>
