Answer: He will require 10.07 cubic feet of sand for the wheelbarrows.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

the ratio of wheelbarrows filled with sand to those filled with concrete is expressed as

2\dfrac{3}{4}:8\\\\=\dfrac{11}{4}:8\\\\=11:32

The volume of concrete in wheelbarrows is 248 cubic feet.

Then the volume of sand in wheelbarrows can be found as

(\dfrac{11}{32})^3=\dfrac{x}{248}\\\\\dfrac{1331\times 248}{32^3}=x\\\\10.07=x

Therefore, he will require 10.07 cubic feet of sand for the wheelbarrows.

Julia can finish a 20-mile bike ride in 1.2 hours. Katie can finish the same bike ride in 1.6 hours. How much faster does Julia
Svet_ta [12734]

Given that,speed = \frac{distance}{time}

Julia completes a 20-mile bike ride in 1.2 hours.

The distance Julia covers is 20 miles and her time taken is 1.2 hours.

Therefore, Julia's speed = \frac{20}{1.2} = 16.67 mph


Katie finishes the same 20-mile ride in 1.6 hours.

Katie’s distance is 20 miles and her time is 1.6 hours.

Hence, Katie's speed = \frac{20}{1.6} = 12.5 mph


To determine how much faster Julia rides compared to Katie, subtract Katie’s speed from Julia’s speed.

Thus, 16.67 mph minus 12.5 mph equals 4.17 mph, approximately 4.2 mph.

Consequently, Julia cycles 4.2 mph faster than Katie.

In triangle $abc$, $m\angle a = 90^\circ$, $m\angle b = 75^\circ$, and $bc = \sqrt {3}$ units. what is the area of triangle $abc
Inessa [12570]
Given the specified angles, one is 90 degrees, indicating that the triangle is a right triangle. With provided angles and one side representing the hypotenuse (the longest side), the area is determined using the formula: Area = 1/2 * base * height. Let's compute the height and base:

From sin 75, we derive height = 1.67.
And from cos 75, we obtain base = 0.45.

Calculating area gives us Area = (0.45 * 1.67) / 2, resulting in 0.37 square units.

Thus, the triangle's area is approximately 0.37 square units.

The side length, s, of a cube is x – 2y. If V = s3, what is the volume of the cube? x3 – 6x2y + 12xy2 – 8y3 x3 + 6x2y + 12xy2 +
Leona [12618]

V = x³ - 6x²y + 12xy² - 8y³

V = (x - 2y)³

   = (x - 2y)(x - 2y)(x - 2y) ( start by expanding the first pair of factors )

   = (x² - 4xy + 4y²)(x - 2y) ( multiply the terms from the first group with those in the second )

   = x³ - 4x²y + 4xy² - 2x²y + 8xy² - 8y³ ( combine similar terms )

  = x³ - 6x²y + 12xy² - 8y³

Would $3.99$ million flies or $47,000,000$ ants have a greater mass? Approximately how much greater, in grams, would the greater
zzz [12365]

Answer:

Ants weigh approximately 118,615,000mg more.

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on a quick search, the average housefly weighs around 11.5mg, while an ant averages at 3.5mg. With these average weights, we can calculate the total weight of each species.

Flies: 3,990,000 * 11.5mg = 45,885,000mg

Ants: 47,000,000 * 3.5mg = 164,500,000mg

Consequently, it's clear that the 47 million ants possess a greater mass, specifically

164,500,000 - 45,885,000 = 118,615,000mg more

If you ask three strangers about their birthdays, what is the probability:
Inessa [12570]
Part A:

The probability that all three strangers have their birthdays on a Wednesday is calculated as

\left( \frac{1}{7} \right)^3= \bold{\frac{1}{343}}



Part B:

The probability that the birthdays of the three individuals fall on distinct days throughout the week is calculated as

\left( \frac{1}{7} \right)\left( \frac{1}{6} \right)\left( \frac{1}{5} \right)= \bold{\frac{1}{210}}



Part C:

The probability that none of the three have their birthdays on a Saturday is determined by

\left( \frac{6}{7} \right)^3= \bold{\frac{216}{343}}
