Answer:

1240 in³

Step-by-step explanation:

The overall dimensions of the block are ...

10 in by 11 in by 17 in

The volume of that space is ...

V = LWH = (10 in)(11 in)(17 in) = 1870 in³

The volume of each of the three identical holes is similarly found:

V = (10 in)(3 in)(7 in) = 210 in³

Then the volume of the block is the overall volume less the volume of the three holes:

= 1870 in³ - 3(210 in³) = 1240 in³

A recipe calls for 3/4 cup of butter. Angie wants to triple the recipe, but she has only 1 5/8.

Lyrx [107]

Let's start out by tripling the original recipe to see how much butter Angie needs.

$\frac{3}{4} * 3 = total$
$\frac{3* 3}{4} = total$
$\frac{9}{4} = total$
$2 \frac{1}{4} = total$

So we need $2 \frac{1}{4}$ cups of butter, but Angie only has $1 \frac{5}{8}$ . Let's subtract what Angie has from the total to see how much more she needs.

$2 \frac{1}{4} - 1\frac{5}{8} = n$
$\frac{9}{4} - \frac{13}{8} = n$
we will need the least common denominator for both fractions
$\frac{2}{2} *(\frac{9}{4}) - \frac{13}{8} = n$
$\frac{18}{8} - \frac{13}{8} = n$
$\frac{5}{8} = n$

So Angie need $\frac{5}{8}$ cups more of butter for the recipe.

Jose estimates that if he leaves his car parked outside his office all day on a weekday, the chance that he will get a parking t

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

Therefore, the probability is P=0.74.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Jose estimates that if he leaves his car parked outside his office all day on a weekday, the chance that he will get a parking ticket is 26%.

Therefore the probability that he will get a parking ticket is P1=0.26.

We calculate the probability that he will not get a parking ticket.

We get:

P=1-P1

P=1-0.26

P=0.74

Therefore, the probability is P=0.74.
