8.96 gallons of water

To solve this question, you multiply the ratio of the volumes of container b to container a by the volume of container a. As container b has a greater volume than container a, the ratio will be greater than 1. In this scenario, it is 112% since it includes a 12% increase: 100% + 12% = 112%. Consequently, the volume of container b is calculated as 112% x 8 gallons = 8.96 gallons.

Matt invested $1500 into a stock of his choice. After two years, he had received
Leona [12618]

For this query, the time presented seems unclear to me. I understand that the rate of return is determined by total return over the investment. Assuming Matt received $400 as dividends without reinvesting them into additional shares, his total return across two years amounted to $500. Conversely, if the dividends were reinvested into the stock—something that typically happens with a 401(k) or IRA—his ROI would render a mere 6% due to only a $100 gain on a $1500 investment. In an actual market scenario, it’s likely that Matt would have experienced about a 5% return on a solid stock, while Bella would have had approximately 0.05% from a savings account.

I hope this was helpful!;)

What proportion of these candy bars have more than 300 calories per serving? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
Inessa [12570]

Answer: 0.12

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a total of 65 candy bars. Within this amount;

2 candy bars contain 300 to 350 calories

1 candy bar contains 350 to 400 calories

4 candy bars contain 400 to 450 calories

1 candy bar contains 450 to 500 calories

Thus, the overall ratio of candy bars with more than 300 calories is;

= (2 + 1 + 4 + 1) / 65

= 8/65

= 0.12

John is filling a bathtub that is 18 inches deep. He notices it takes 2 mins. To fill the tub 3 inches of water. He estimates it
Svet_ta [12734]

The bathtub's depth measures 18 inches

It takes 2 minutes to fill 3 inches of the bathtub

Subsequently

The remaining depth needed for filling with water = (18-3) inches

                                                                        = 15 inches

The time needed to fill the remaining 15 inches of the bathtub = (15*2)/3 minutes

                                                                      = 30/3 minutes

                                                                      = 10 minutes

Therefore, John is right in believing that it will require an additional 10 minutes to fill the tub to the brim at the same rate.

Hope this clarifies things!

A factory produces 5-packs of pencils. To be within the weight specifications, a pack of 5 pencils should weigh between 60 grams
zzz [12365]
Given:
1 pack = 5 pencils and cardboard.
1 pack should weigh between 60 grams and 95 grams

60g < x < 95g; where x signifies 1 pack.

Cardboard: 15 grams.

95g - 15g = 80g represents the maximum total weight of 5 pencils.
80g / 5 = 16g is the maximum weight for a single pencil.

60g - 15g = 45g is the minimum total weight of 5 pencils.
45g / 5 = 9g is the minimum weight for a single pencil.

9 < x < 16; where x represents a single pencil in the pack.
