According to the calculations made, 410 gumballs will be needed to fill the box.

Since you are trying to figure out how many gumballs you need to fill a 7.3 x 5.0 x 9.4 rectangular box for Halloween, and each gumball has a radius of 1/2 in, if the packing density for spheres is 5/8 of the volume will be filled with gumballs while the rest will be air how many gumballs will be needed, to determine this amount the following calculation must be performed:

  • (Volume of box x 5/8) / volume of gumballs = Amount of gumballs  
  • Volume of a sphere = 4/3 x 3.14 x (radius x radius x radius)  
  • Volume of a gumball = 4/3 x 3.14 x (0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5) = 0.5235 inches  
  • ((7.3 x 5 x 9.4) x 5/8) / 0.523 = X
  • (343.1 x 5/8) / 0.523 = X
  • 214.4375 / 0.523 = X
  • 410 = X

Therefore, 410 gumballs will be needed to fill the box.

What is the solution set of 4x^2 - 36 = 0?
Leto [7]
 <span>4x^2 - 36 = 0 ( Original equation ) 

4x^2 = 36 ( Add 36 to both sides ) 

x^2 = 9 ( Divide by 4 on both sides ) 

x = 3 , -3 ( Take the square root of 9 ) 

Solution set: { +3 , -3 } answer is x = +3 , x = -3</span>

Can you show me the work to get this answer write two expressions that have a gcf of 8xy
BigorU [14]
1) Expression 1: 16x^3 y

2) Expression 2: 24 xy^5

Procedure:

1) find the greatest common factor of the coefficients, 16 and 24:

16 = 2^4

24 = (2^3)*3

=> greatest common factor = 2^3 = 8

2) find the greatest common factor of x^3 y and xy^5

That is the common letters each raised to the lowest power:

=> xy

3) Then, the result is 8xy
