Answer:
638
Step-by-step explanation:
its 638, not 639 because its above 638.5
1.) v=(l)(w)(h)
V=(9)(9)(9)
V=(81)(9)
V=729in^3
2.) (I forget if this is the real equation to this but this would give you the same answer)
V=(l)(w)(h)

V=(8)(6)(12)

V=576/2
V=288cm^3
M is the exponent of z inside parentheses. In expanded form, the exponent of z is 8m, so m is 1/8 of the exponent of z.
If his water to cement ratio is 20 to 30, this means that if he uses 20 liters of water, he'd use 30 liters of cement.
The total mixture would then be 20+30=50 liters.
and the water would be 20/50=0.4 or 40% of the total mixture.
