<em>They took 101 peaches to market.</em>
<u>Check:</u>
In the 1st hour, they sold (101/2 + 1/2) = 102/2 = 51. They had 50 left.
In the 2nd hour, they sold (50/3 + 1/3)=51/3=17. They had (50-17)=33 left.
In the 3rd hour, they sold (33/4 + 3/4) = 36/4 = 9. They had (33-9) = 24 left.
In the final hour, they sold (24/5 + 1/5) = 25/5 = 5. They had (24-5) = 19 left. yay!
Fiona and Camilla took their 19 remaining peaches and went home. Sharing with
their parents and their brother Rowlf, each person had 3.8 peaches for dinner.
There was a lot of activity in the bathroom overnight.
================================================
The key to solving this one is to work it backwards.
-- They had 19 peaches left at the end of the day.
-- During the final hour, the 1/5 of a peach that they sold left them with 19,
so they had 19-1/5 before they sold the 1/5 of a peach.
The 19-1/5 was 4/5 of what they had at the beginning of the final hour.
So, at the beginning of the final hour, they had (5/4)x(19.2) = 24 .
-- During the 3rd hour, the 3/4 of a peach that they sold left them with 24,
so they had 24-3/4 before they sold the 3/4 of a peach.
The 24-3/4 was 3/4 of what they had at the beginning of that hour.
So, at the beginning of the 3rd hour, they had (4/3)x(24.75) = 33 .
Do the same for the 2nd hour.
Then do the same for the 1st hour.
And you'll work your way back up to 101 peaches.
Marco and Drew stacked boxes on a shelf. Marco lifted 9 boxes and Drew lifted 14 boxes. The boxes that Drew lifted each weighed 8 lb less than the boxes Marco lifted.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The rectangular prism has a volume equal to V=xyz. V=(1/3)3(5/3)=5/3 in^3. The cube has a volume equal to V=s^3. The volume of the cube is equal to the prism when
![s^3=(1/3)(3)(5/3)\\ \\ s^3=5/3\\ \\ s=\sqrt[3]{\frac{5}{3}}in\\ \\ s\approx 1.19in](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=s%5E3%3D%281%2F3%29%283%29%285%2F3%29%5C%5C%20%5C%5C%20s%5E3%3D5%2F3%5C%5C%20%5C%5C%20s%3D%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B%5Cfrac%7B5%7D%7B3%7D%7Din%5C%5C%20%5C%5C%20s%5Capprox%201.19in)
