Answer:

72 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

For concreatting a tower cement, sand, stones are in the ratio 1:2:4 For 144kg sand.. What amount of cement is required?

We are given the ratio

cement: sand:stones

= 1:2:4

The sum of proportion =

1 + 2 + 4 = 7

We are given the kg of sand = 144kg

Step 1

We find the total kg of cement, sand and stones = x

Using the proportion of sand,

2/7 of x = 144kg

2/7 × x = 144kg

2x/7 = 144kg

Cross Multiply

2x = 7 × 144kg

x = 7 × 144kg/2

x = 504kg

Therefore the total kg of cement, sand and stone = 504kg

Step 2

The amount of cement required is calculated as:

1/7 × 504 kg = 72 kg

Therefore, 72kg of cement is required.

Find the volume of the cubes or rectangular prisms in cubic centimeters.

DanielleElmas [232]

a) Volume of Rectangular prism is $\frac{36}{125}\,\,cm^3$

b) Volume of cube is $\frac{8}{125}\,\,cm^3$

c) Volume of cube is $\frac{1}{125}\,\,cm^3$

d) Volume of Rectangular prism is $\frac{6}{125}\,\,cm^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a)

Volume of rectangular prism with

length= $\frac{3}{5}\,\,cm$

width= $\frac{4}{5}\,\,cm$

height = $\frac{3}{5}\,\,cm$

The formula used to find Volume of rectangular prism is:

$Volume\,\,of\,\,rectangular\,\,prism=length*width*height$

Putting values:

$Volume\,\,of\,\,rectangular\,\,prism=\frac{3}{5} *\frac{4}{5} *\frac{3}{5}\\Volume\,\,of\,\,rectangular\,\,prism=\frac{36}{125}\,\,cm^3$

So, Volume of Rectangular prism is $\frac{36}{125}\,\,cm^3$

Part b)

Volume of cube with side length of $\frac{2}{5}\,\,cm$

The formula used to find Volume of cube is:

$Volume\,\,of\,\,cube=length^3$

Putting value of length and finding volume:

$Volume\,\,of\,\,cube=length^3\\Volume\,\,of\,\,cube=(\frac{2}{5})^3\\ Volume\,\,of\,\,cube=\frac{8}{125}\,\,cm^3$

So, Volume of cube is $\frac{8}{125}\,\,cm^3$

Part c)

Volume of cube with side length of $\frac{1}{5}\,\,cm$

The formula used to find Volume of cube is:

$Volume\,\,of\,\,cube=length^3$

Putting value of length and finding volume:

$Volume\,\,of\,\,cube=length^3\\Volume\,\,of\,\,cube=(\frac{1}{5})^3\\ Volume\,\,of\,\,cube=\frac{1}{125}\,\,cm^3$

So, Volume of cube is $\frac{1}{125}\,\,cm^3$

Part d)

Volume of rectangular prism with

length= $\frac{1}{5}\,\,cm$

width= $\frac{2}{5}\,\,cm$

height = $\frac{3}{5}\,\,cm$

The formula used to find Volume of rectangular prism is:

$Volume\,\,of\,\,rectangular\,\,prism=length*width*height$

Putting values:

$Volume\,\,of\,\,rectangular\,\,prism=\frac{1}{5} *\frac{2}{5} *\frac{3}{5}\\Volume\,\,of\,\,rectangular\,\,prism=\frac{6}{125}\,\,cm^3$

So, Volume of Rectangular prism is $\frac{6}{125}\,\,cm^3$

At a school dance, the ratio of girls to boys is 8:3. If there are 528 students at the dance, how many are boys and how many are

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

144 boys and 384 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

8 girls to every 3 boys. You can make an equation to solve this: 8x + 3x = 528. 528 = 11x. Then divide 528 by 11 to get 48. x=48. 8(48) = 384 girls. 3(48) = 144 boys.
