You can express the edge lengths in terms of "cubes" or you divide the total volume by the volume of a cube. It works either way.
Edge lengths are
.. 80 cubes by 8 cutes by 13 cubes
so total volume is
.. (80 * 8 * 13) = 8320 cubes
In cubic inches, the volume is
.. (20 in)*(2 in)*(3 1/4 in) = 130 in^3.
The volume of a 1/4-in cube is (1/4 in)^3 = 1/64 in^3.
Then the number of cubes that will fit in the prism is
.. (130 in^3)/(1/64 in^3) = 8320 . . . . cubes
8320 cubes are needed to fill the rectangular prism.
The answer is $132,000
First you multiply 120,000 by .10 which you get 12,000
Then you just add it and you find the answer
9.8 I think... I hope this helps in any way
Represent as
w=wally
a=ashan
so wally has 2 more marbles than ashan
w=2+a
together they have 88
w+a=88
since w=2+a, subsitute (2+a) for w in the w+a=88 equation
2+a+a=88
add like terms
2+2a=88
subtract 2 from both sides
2a=86
divide by 2
a=43
ashan has 43 marbles
