Answer:  1 in 18

This is the same as writing the fraction 1/18

==============================================================

Explanation:

Since she has 36 marbles total, and the probability of picking green is 1 in 2, this means (1/2)*36 = 18 marbles are green.

Then she also has (1/3)*36 = 12 red marbles and (1/9)*36 = 4 blue marbles.

So far, that accounts for 18+12+4 = 34 marbles in all. That leaves 36-4 = 2 marbles left over that must be black, as it's the only color left.

From that, the probability of choosing a black marble is 2/36 = 1/18.

There's a 1 in 18 chance of Maddy picking a black marble.

1/18 = 0.0556 = 5.56% approximately

A carpenter constructed a rectangular sandbox with a capacity of 10 cubic feet. If the carpenter were to make a similar sandbox
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

(D)80 ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume volume of the sandbox is = L × W × H

Where L = Length, W= width, H= Height.

A sandbox has the same shape as a cuboid.

A cuboid is a solid shape with rectangular base and sides. It has six rectangular faces if all sides are closed.

From the question,

LWH = 10ft³ ........................ (1).

If a similar sandbox twice as long, twice as wide and twice as high.

∴ L₍n₎= 2L, W₍n) =2W, H₍n₎ = 2H

Where L₍n₎, W₍n), H₍n₎ is the new Length,  new Width and  new Height of the similar sandbox.

∴L₍n₎ ×W₍n)× H₍n₎  = 2L × 2W × 2H

   and Volume of the new sandbox = L₍n₎ ×W₍n)× H₍n₎

 ⇒Volume of the new sandbox = 2 × 2 ×2 ×L×W×H

     Volume of the new sandbox = 8 × LWH....................(2)

    In equation(1) LWH = 10ft³.

     Substituting the value in equation(2)

    ∴Volume of the new(similar) sandbox= 8 × 10

       =80ft³.

Therefore the capacity of the second sandbox in cubic feet is 80.

The answer is option (D).
