B = 18 because 18-5 is equal to 3 and 3x3 is equal to 9.
Answer: the sand in the new terrarium is 2 inches deep.
Step-by-step explanation:
Zach has a terrarium with the dimensions of 20 by 8 and the terrarium was filled with 3 inches of sand. It means that the volume of sand that this terrarium contains is
20 × 8 × 3 = 480 inches³
Zach gets a new terrarium that is larger with the dimensions of 10 by 24. If Zach moved the existing sand in the new terrarium and the height of the sand is represented by h, then the volume of sand into he new terrarium is
10 × 24 × h = 240h
Since the volume of sand in both terrariums is equal, then
240h = 480
h = 480/240
h = 2 inches
Do you have a picture for this problem? There are multiple different ways to solve this problem but I'll need a picture to help you.
Multiply by 1/3 to reduce.
228*1/3=76m^2
216*1/3=72m^3
Multiply by 4 to increase.
228*4=912m^2
216*4=864m^3
I can explain more if you need.
