Ritz can eat 8 apples in 15 minutes. How long does it take Ritz to eat 16 apples at the same rate?

1 answer:

5 0

The rate Ritz can eat apples is 8/15 apples per minute.

Set the rate (which is measured apples / minutes) equal to 16 apples / t minutes.

(8/15) = (16/t)

Cross multiply.

16*15 = 8t

t = 20

The answer is 30 minutes. You could solve the problem with basic reasoning as well. 16 is twice the number of apples as 8, so the time it takes to eat them will be double 15 minutes.

yawa3891 [41]

The volume of the right rectangular prism is 6656 cubic inches, If the rectangular prism have a length of 32", width of 52" and height of 4".

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is,

A right rectangular prism

Let, l - Length of the right rectangular prism

w - Width of the right rectangular prism

h - Height of the right rectangular prism

Step:1

From given,

l - 32 inches

w - 52 inches

h - 4 inches

Step:2

Formula for Volume of the Right rectangular prism,

$V = whl$ .............................................(1)

Substitute the values of w, h and l in Eqn (1)

= ( 52 × 4 × 32 )

V = 6656 $inches^{3}$

Result:

Thus the volume of the right rectangular prism is 6656 cubic inches, for the given dimensions of an right rectangular prism.

Dmitri wants to cover the top and sides of this box with glass tiles that are 1 cm square. How many tiles will he need? Dmitri w

marta [7]

The number of tiles needed to cover the surface area of the box excluding the bottom is: 1,046 tiles.

<h3>What is the Surface Area of a Box?</h3>

The surface area of a box is the area surrounding all its faces. A box has 6 rectangular faces. Therefore, the total surface area of the box equals the sum of all 6 rectangular faces.

<h3>What is the Surface Area of a Box?</h3>

SA = 2(lw + lh + hw), where:

l = length
w = width
h = height of the box

The image attached below shows the box Dmitri wants to cover. Since the bottom of the box would be excluded, therefore:

The surface area to be covered = surface area of the box - area of the bottom rectangular face

The surface area to be covered = 2(lw + lh + hw) - (l)(w)

l = 26

w = 15

h = 8

Substitute

The surface area to be covered = 2(l×w + lh + hw) - (l)(w) = 2·(15·26+8·26+8·15) - (26)(15) =

The surface area to be covered = 1436 - 390 = 1,046 cm

Area of one tile = 1 cm square

Number of tiles needed = 1,046/1

Number of tiles needed = 1,046 tiles.
