Answer:

30 yards of string will remain unused

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, there are a lot of conversions going on here.

1 yard = 3 feet,

so 50 yards • 3ft per yard = 150 feet of string on the spool

1 foot = 12 inches,

so 150 feet • 12in per foot = 1800 inches of string on the spool

There are 24 students and they each get 30 inches, multiply 24 • 30 to see how much string is used:

24 • 30 = 720 inches of string used

Find how many <u>inches</u> of string is left by subtracting what is used from the original amount:

1800 - 720 = 1080 inches of spool left

To make this faster, instead of dividing by 12 inches per foot and then dividing by 3 feet per yard, I'm just dividing by 36 inches per yard.

1080 ÷ 36 = <u>30 yards of string remaining</u>

Next month you set your thermostat to 75 degrees for 1 month, that month your electricity bill is $40.

10. How many cubic inches of material do you need to make a solid rubber ball with a diameter of 3 in.? Round your answer to two
ale4655 [162]
What is asked in the problem is simply the volume of the solid rubber ball. The volume of sphere given the diameter may be calculated by,
  
                               V = πd^3 / 6

Substituting the given value of diameter, 
 
                               V = (π x 3³) / 6 = 9π/2 or 14.14

Thus, one needs approximately 14.14 in³ of material.
