A closed rectangular box whose dimensions are 8 feet by 5 feet by 3 feet has some water in it. When the box is resting on its sm

allest face, the water is 5 feet deep. How deep will the water be if the box is resting on its largest face? Explain your reasoning.

Answer:

i, 1.875 ft

ii. Since the volume of water is the same when resting on either the smallest or largest face, we we equate the expression for their volume and solve for the depth of water when the closed rectangular box is resting on its largest face.

Step-by-step explanation:

i. How deep will the water be if the box is resting on its largest face?

Since the smallest face is 5 feet by 3 feet (since they are the smallest dimensions), the volume of the 5 feet deep water is V = Ah where A = area of smallest face and h = depth of water.

V = Ah = 5 ft × 3 ft × 5 ft = 75 ft³

This is also the volume of the water when it is resting on its largest face.

Since the dimensions of the largest face are 8 feet by 5 feet (since they are the largest dimensions), then V = A'h' where A' = area of largest face and h' = depth of water when rectangular box is resting on its largest face

So, h' = V/A'

= 75 ft³/ (8 ft × 5 ft)

= 15/8 ft

= 1.875 ft

ii, Explain your reasoning.

Since the volume of the water in the closed rectangular box is always the same, which ever side we turn it to, its volume V = area of face × height. If we write this expression for both the smallest and largest face and equate them, we solve for the depth of the water when it is resting on its largest face, since, we already know the depth of water when it is resting on its smallest face.

What numbers round up and down to 600
yaroslaw [1]
The numbers that round up to 600 and have one decimal place are-
599.5
599.6
599.7
599.8
599.9
The numbers that round down to 600 and have one decimal place are-
600.1
600.2
600.3
<span>600.4
As far as numbers with more than one decimal place that round to 600, there is an infinite number. For example, 600.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000</span>0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 rounds down to 600.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000.

First answer gets a thanks
Karolina [17]
I would have to say A - Mean; because the data is skewed and there are outliers.

This is because the median of this would not be accurate for the number of kids that read no books and the random three kids that read ten. Mean, however, would find the true median within the plot and utilize and take into account the outliers and how skewed the data is.

Hope this helps!
