Answer:
Bert has $45.
Step-by-step explanation:
I have no real strategy, except for that I used guess and check. How did I do this? Well, since I am in 5th Grade, I don't know algebra very well, so I made an organized chart and checked all the numbers that had to be a multiple and could be divided equally by 5, 3 and when a third of that number was subtracted by 6, it was a fifth of the orginal number. Thats how I got 45.
Checking this answer:
It is always important to check your answer after finishing the problem, so this is how I checked my answer:
1. 45 divided by 3 = 15
2. 15 - 6 = 9, and 9 is 1/5 of 45
Bert has $45.
3 1/4 = 3.25
1 mile = 5280
5280 * 3.25 = 17,160
Correct answer is D. 17,160
The quick way to dispute something like this is to simply do the calculation and then create a ratio.
Cube One (Large Cube)
The formula for a cube is V = e^3
e = the measurement of an edge. In this case.
e = 10 cm
V = e^3
V = 10^3 = 10*10*10
V = 1000 cm^3
Cube 2 (Small Cube)
V = e^3
e = 5 cm
V = 5*5*5
V = 125 cm^3
Ratio
Large Cube / Small Cube = 1000 / 125 = 8/1.
The difference in size is 8 to 1 not 2 to 1.
Explanation
He's right if he sticks to one side. The ratio of one side of the large cube to the small one is 2 to 1. But once you put that into the formula for volume, three sides are multiplied together and that 2 shows up everytime you multiply the sides together.
Sorry I don’t know the answer is just needed a point to get my question answered
