Length of a rectangular prism volume is 2,830.5, width 18.5, height 9
jek_recluse [69]
Well, you get the volume by multiplying the height, the width, and the length. So just work on it backwards.
2,830.5 divided by (9 times 18.5).
9 times 18.5 is 166.5. So that leaves us with 2,830.5 divided by 166.5, which is 17.
So, the answer is 17.

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

Minimum percent of the vote that candidate Towne is expected to recieve:

m=51% - 6.3% * 51% =47.787%

Maximum percent of the vote that candidate Towne is expected to recieve:

M=51% + 6.3% * 51% = 54.213%

Solution:

Margin of error: E=6.3%

Minimum percent of the vote that candidate Towne is expected to recieve:

m=51% - E * 51%

m=51% - 6.3% * 51%

m=51% - 51% * 6.3 / 100

m=51% - 3.213%

m=47.787%

Maximum percent of the vote that candidate Towne is expected to recieve:

M=51% + E * 51%

M=51% + 6.3% * 51%

M=51% + 51% * 6.3 / 100

M=51% + 3.213%

M=54.213%

Two numbers are respectively twenty percent and ten percent more than the third number. How many percent is the first number mor
Rasek [7]

Answer:

10%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the third number is X.

then first number = (100-30)% of X

= 70% of X = 7X/10

Second number is (63X/100)

Difference = 7X/10 - 63X/100 = 7X/10

So required percentage is, difference is what percent of first number

=> (7X/100 * 10/7X * 100 )% = 10%
