1\5 pound of trail mix because 1 pound divided to\by 5 people is 1\5.
So, each person gets 1\5 pound trail mix

If there are 5 people and they have to share 1 pound of trail mix, we have to set up a division problem and solve. We first need to figure out what we are dividing by what (what the dividend is and what the divisor is). The divisor is 5 because it is those five pepole that will share the one pound. 1/5 is 0.2, meaning that each person will get 0.2 lb or 3.2 ounces of trail mix.

A cylinder is filled with pure nitrogen dioxide. which term or terms could be used to describe the contents of this cylinder?

Phoenix [80]

The term that would describe the contents would be the volume of the cylindrical container. From the definition of matter, gases do not have a definite shape and volume. It takes the shape and volume of their container. So, if you want to know how much Nitrogen Oxide there is in the container, you have to determine the volume of the cylinder.

Carly has 15 stuffed animals. How many ways are there to organize her top 3 favorites?

Ivanshal [37]

Well, the answer will depend on whether the order will count or not (based on Permutations and Combinations). <em>If the order counts</em>, then we would use the formula for Permutations, which is:
$\frac{n!}{(n-r)!}$
Where n is the number of items you have, and r is the number of times you choose from the items.
$\frac{15!}{(15-3)!}$
Which simplifies to
$\frac{15!}{(12)!}$
Which simplifies to 15*14*13 (because all the numbers 1-12 in the factorial canceled out), which gets us the answer 2730.

Now, if you wanted to find the number of ways to order the toys without replacement (<em>order doesn't count</em>), you would use the formula:
$\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}$
The variables are still the same, but you are now multiplying by r!.
$\frac{15!}{3!(15-3)!}$
Simplifies to
$\frac{15!}{3!(12)!}$
Which simplifies to (using the same cancellation method above)
$\frac{2730}{3!}$
Dividing 2730 by 3! will get us an answer of 455.

Really, it depends on whether they are ordered or not. In this case (since you didn't specify whether the order mattered), the answer would be 455 or 2730.

What is the surface area of this right prism?

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

Since the 'base' and 'top' of any prism have the same shape, the surface area can be found by

surface area of prism = 2 * area of base + perimeter of base * H

So for the rectangular prism in your example..

surface area = 2LW + 2(L+W)H

= 2 * 7 * 4 + 2*(7+4)*5

= 56 + 2 * 11 * 5

= 56 +110
