There will still be 34.5 L of water in the two pails combined because no water is lost.
Thus the total remains 34.5 L after transferring water between them.
Let the final amount in the smaller pail be x.
Then the larger pail contains 9x.
So x + 9x = 34.5.
That simplifies to 10x = 34.5.
Dividing both sides by 10 gives x = 3.45.
Therefore the smaller pail held 3.45 L at the end.
Because 0.68 L was poured into it, its initial volume was 2.77 L (3.45 minus 0.68)
We can also deduce the larger pail initially contained 31.73 L
(either 35 minus 2.77, or 9 times 3.45 plus 0.68)
Answer:
600 books
Step-by-step explanation:
The dimensions of the bin are
5 by 2 by 3
The volume of the bin is found by multiplying these three dimensions.
Volume of Bin = 5 * 2 * 3 = 30 cubic feet
To find the volume of each book, we use the same method. The dimensions of one book are:
1 by 0.5 by 0.1
Volume of 1 book = 1 * 0.5 * 0.1 = 0.05 cubic feet
The total number of books fitting into the bin is calculated by:
30/0.05 = 600 books
Rounded to the nearest hundred, 2605 becomes 2600. If it had been 2650 or more, it would have rounded to 2700.
