Question

Winnie poured 14 cups of water into a rectangular container measuring 13 inches by 7 inches by 6 centimeters.

[1 cup = 14.44 cubic inches; 1 inch = 2.54 cm]

Part A: What is the maximum volume of water that the rectangular container can hold? Show your work. (3 points)

Part B: How many cubic inches of water was poured into the container? (3 points)

Answer 1

Please help

Answer 2

change 6 cm to inches
6 cm • 1 inch / 2.54 cm
= 2.3622047244 inches

Answer 3

Rectangular tank measures =13*7*2.36
= 214.76 cubic inches

Answer 4

are either of those the answers or do we need to do more work

Answer 5

A) max volume = 214.76 cubic inches =
=214.76 / 14.44 = 14.87 cups

Answer 6

13 x 7 x 6cm
It doesn't say which of those dimensions is the height so part B
can't be answered.

Answer 7

Sarah wants to buy the car that has a better mileage rating. Cars of Company A travel 20 miles per gallon and cars of Company B travel 14 km per liter.

[1 mile = 1.6 km; 1 gallon = 3.79 liters]

Part A: Which company's car should Sarah buy? Justify your answer by comparing the mileages after converting to the same units. (5 points)

Part B: If 10 gallons of gas is filled in the car which gives better mileage, and you went on a drive and checked on the gas used every 30 miles, describe appropriate scales on the x-axis and y-axis to graph the rate at which the car uses gas.

Answer 8

only need part b

Answer 9

14 km / liter
1/1.6 = .625 miles per km
1/ 3.79 liters = .264 liters in a gallon

so 14 km / liter = 14*.625 / .264 =
33.14 miles per gallon
So this is the car that gets the better mileage.
