A fruit company delivers its fruit in two types of boxes: large and small. A delivery of 5 large boxes and 3 small boxes has a t

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

The weight of large and small box are 18.25 kg and 13.25 kg respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the weight of large and small box are x and y respectively.

It is given that a delivery of 5 large boxes and 3 small boxes has a total weight of 131 kilograms.

$5x+3y=131$ .... (1)

A delivery of 2 large boxes and 6 small boxes has a total weight of 116 kilograms.

$2x+6y=116$ .... (2)

On solving (1) and (2) using graphing calculator, we get

$x=18.25$

$y=13.25$

Therefore the weight of large and small box are 18.25 kg and 13.25 kg respectively.

An interior designer sketches a design for a rectangular rug. The dimensions of a sketch are 4 inches by 7.5 in. The dimensions

Black_prince [1.1K]

3,000 in.

(4 x 10) + (7.5 x 10) = 3000

The dimensions on the sketch are 10 times less than the actual rug.

40 in., 7.5 in.

The drawing lengths are ten times more, so you just multiply the dimensions by 10, and then multiply the product you find out to find the actual area of the rug.

3/4(8p+12) + 3/8(16p-8)

grandymaker [24]

3/4(8p+12)+3/8(16p-8)

=3/4[(8p+12)+1/2(16p-8)]

=3/4[8p+12+8p-4]

=3/4[16p+8]

=3/4*8*[2p+1]

=6[2p+1]

=12p+6

The two rectangular prisms are similar. What is the volume of the larger rectangular prism? 240 cm³ 540 cm³ 1620 cm³ 3240 cm³ A

Andreas93 [3]

Volume of a figure is measure of the space it occupies. The volume of the larger rectangular prism is given as: Option C: 1620 cm³

<h3>How to calculate volume of a rectangular prism?</h3>

If a rectangular prism has dimensions <u>a</u> unit, <u>b</u> unit, and <u>c</u> units, then its volume is given as

$V = a \times b \times c \: \rm unit^3$

<h3>What are similar figures?</h3>

They are scaled. It means, if two figures are similar, then we can get one figure from another by multiplying some constant value(same for one pair of similar figure) to its dimensions.

For example,

if for given case, one rectangular prism has got dimensions a, b, and c centimetres, then

the second rectangular prism, which is similar, let the scale factor is 'd',t then second prism's dimensions will be a x d units, b x d units, and c x d units.

For first prism(smaller), its one side is given to be 5 cm, let its other two sides be 'b' cm, and 'c' cm, then,

$60 \: \rm cm^3 = 5\times b\times c \\\\b\times c = \dfrac{60}{5} = 12$

Now, the larger prism has 15 cm corresponding side, thus, scale factor was 3 (since 15 is 3 times 5).

Thus, its dimensions would be 15, 3 x b, 3 x c

Thus, its volume would be

$15 \times 3 \times b \times 3 \times c = 135 \times b\times c = 135 \times 12 = 1620 \: \rm cm^3$

Thus,

The volume of the larger rectangular prism is given as: Option C: 1620 cm³
