This whole problem rests on one thing:
Do you know the formula for the volume of this kind of shape ?
If you do, then the problem is easy.  If you don't, then it's impossible.

This is the shape of a book, an ice cube, a brick, or a slab.

The volume is always

                          (length) x (width) x (height)           (in any order) .

They all have to be in the same unit, and then the volume
is in the cubic-(...) of that unit.

In this picture, there's a tiny hiccup with the units ... the length and
the width are in meters, but the height is in centimeters, so you need
to change that one to meters before you can multiply them.

Notice right above the picture, it reminds you that 

                                         (1 meter = 100 centimeters) .

So the height of the slab (10 cm) is the same as 0.1 meter.

Now you have all 3 of the dimensions in meters, so you're
ready to multiply them and get the volume.

           Volume  =  (length) x (width) x (height) 

                         =  ( 8 m )  x  ( 6 m )  x  ( 0.1 m )

                         =            4.8 cubic meters .

Question: 
Does Meg have enough concrete to make the slab
with the dimensions shown ?

Answer:  Yes .

Explanation:
Meg mixed 5 cubic meters of concrete.
She needs 4.8 cubic meters to pour the floor with those dimensions.
She has enough concrete to do the job.
All she needs is the whole football team to come over and help her
     pour, smooth, and finish it.  Concrete is hard hard work !

Am I correct? I need help with #4 confused...
Anettt [7]

Answer:

  3.  12 airplanes and 6 cars

  4.  30 swirled marbles and 22 solid marbles

Step-by-step explanation:

In each case, it is easy enough to check the offered answer to see if it matches problem requirements.

3.  You are correct.

__

4. All answers total 52 marbles, so we need to check to see which has 8 more swirled marbles.

  a) 28 more swirled marbles

  b) 28 fewer swirled marbles

  c) 8 fewer swirled marbles

  d) 8 more swirled marbles -- as required by the problem

The correct choice is the last one: 30 swirled marbles; 22 solid marbles.

_____

The first step in solving any problem is to understand what the problem is and what a solution will look like. When the questions are multiple-choice, it is often easier to check the choices than to solve the problem from scratch. Knowing what the solution must look like often lets you eliminate half or more of the answer choices, simplifying the remaining checking.

_____

Both of these are "sum and difference" problems. You are given the total of two items and the difference between them. The generic solution is that the larger quantity is half the sum of the two given numbers.

<u>For 3</u>, this means the number of airplanes (the larger quantity) is half of 18+6=24, so is 12. The number of cars is 6 less than that: 12-6=6.

<u>For 4</u>, this means the number of swirled marbles (the larger quantity) is half of 52+8=60, so is 30. The number of solid marbles is 8 less than that: 30-8=22.

Xander needs to collect at least 120 cans for a food drive to earn community service credit. He has already collected 64 items.
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

x ≥ 56

Step-by-step explanation:

The whole problem will have to equal at least 120. If Xander has already collected 64, then he has a certain number of cans, x, remaining to collect. Since the problem is saying he needs "at least 120" then x and 64 must have a sum of at least 120. Thus you set up the problem like:

x + 64 ≥ 120

You can solve this simply by subtracting 64 from both sides.

x + (64-64) ≥ (120-64)

That would leave us with the answer:

x ≥ 54

Hope this helps!

How do you solve the compound inequality? 6 – x &gt; 15 or 2x – 9 ≥ 3
Masja [62]

Answer:

x < -9 or  x ≥ 6

Step-by-step explanation:

6 – x > 15 or 2x – 9 ≥ 3

Solve each inequality

6-x > 15

Subtract 6 from each side

6-x-6 > 15-6

-x > 9

Multiply by -1 remembering to flip the inequality

x < -9

Then the other inequality

2x – 9 ≥ 3

Add 9 to each side

2x -9+9≥ 3 +9

2x≥ 12

Divide by 2

2x/2 ≥ 12/2

x ≥ 6

Put back together

x < -9 or  x ≥ 6

Your teacher makes the following statement, “The set of whole numbers is closed under multiplication, but the set of irrational
anastassius [24]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement the teacher makes is  “The set of whole numbers is closed under multiplication, but the set of irrational numbers is not closed under multiplication.”

For a set of numbers to closed under multiplication means that, if we multiply any two numbers from the set, the result is also a number that belongs to the same set.

For example, the set of whole numbers are : {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,...}

0\times 1=0

2\times 3=6

5\times 6=30

Observe that, the results we are getting are also whole numbers.

Also the irrational numbers are not closed under multiplication.

This means that we can multiply some two irrational numbers and get a rational number.

For example: \sqrt{2}\times \sqrt{8}=\sqrt{8*2}=\sqrt{16}=4

\sqrt{2}, and\:\sqrt{8} are irrational but their product is 4 which is rational
