Answer:

39.00%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Dimension: 36⅞ by 19 by 24⅝

Volume of Water = 6039in³

Required

What percent of the volume of the aquarium is filled with water?

First, we need to calculate the volume of the aquarium.

This is calculated by multiplying the dimensions of the aquarium

Volume = 36⅞ * 19 * 24⅝

Volume = 295/8 * 19 * 197/8

Volume = 1104185/64

Volume = 17252.89

The percent filled with water is calculated using the following formula:

%Percent = (Volume of water * 100%)/(Volume of aquarium)

%Percent = (6039 * 100%)/(17252.89)

%Percent = (603900%)/(17252.89)

%Percent = 39.00% (approximated)

Hence, the water occupies 39.00% of the aquarium

PLEASE HELP ME WILL MARK BRAINLIEST! Town planners are planning a 500 foot by 700 foot parking lot by making a scale drawing tha

Scilla [17]

Answer:

The approximate value of the scale is 1:67

or the actual value without approximation is 1: 66 2/3 ( 66 while number , two over three)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to figure out the scale in inches of the drawing to the actual object.

The actual object is 500 ft by 700 ft

while the drawing is 90 inches by 126 inches

Mathematically, we know that 12 inches = 1 foot

So the actual object will be;

500(12) by 700(12)

= 6000 inches by 8400 inches

Now let’s make a division to get the scale;

6000/90 by 8400/126

we get 66.67 as answers on both ends

This is approximately equal to 67

So the scale we have here is 1:67

On the trip from KC to Springfield, the church van consumed 15 gallons of gas to go 179 miles. If gas cost $2.58 per gallon, wha

Otrada [13]

Answer:

$77.4

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN: On the trip from KC to Springfield, the church van consumed $15$ gallons of gas to go $179$ miles. If gas cost $\$2.58$ per gallon.

TO FIND: Cost of a round trip to Springfield.

SOLUTION:

Distance of springfield from KC $=179\text{ miles}$

As it is a round trip total distance $=2\times179=358\text{ miles}$

As $15$ gallons gas used for $179$ miles distance

gas required for $1$ mile $=\frac{15}{179}$ gallons

gas required for $358$ miles $=\frac{15}{179}\times2=30$ gallons

cost of one gallon of gas $=\$2.58$

cost of $30$ gallons of gas $=30\times2.58=\$77.4$

Hence cost of roundtrip to Springfield is $77.4
