Step-by-step explanation:
Apparently, you're being asked to identify the sequence of steps you would use to compute the volume of the pyramid.
It seems to be a good idea to start with the formula for the volume.
Then, recognize that you need to compute B, so make that computation. The area of the base (B) is the product of the base dimensions (14)(12).
Once you have the value of B, then you can put that, along with the value of h, into the original volume formula.
Evaluating it gives the volume in cubic units.

<em>Additional comment</em>
If you're familiar with the pyramid volume formula, you know that you must compute B before you can make use of the formula. That makes the sequence be B=14(12); B=168; V=1/3Bh; V=1/3(168)(7).
However, if you're starting from scratch, it is probably good to begin with the volume formula. That is what tells you that you need to find B in the first place. This is the sequence we show below.
Answer:
140 ounces of water and 105 ounces of 35% salt solution.
Explanation:
Let be the ounces of water that need to be added and
be the ounces of 35% solution that need to to be added.
We know that the total of ounces of water and of 35% solution must be 245 ounces:
35% of is the salt, and since no salt is added with addition of
liters of water, this must be equal to the amount of salt in the final 15% solution:
we solve for and get:
We put this value into and solve for
to get:
Thus we have 140 ounces of water and 105 ounces of 35% solution.
