A chocolate company makes chocolate malt balls that are 0.75 inches in diameter. the carton they are to be packed in is approxim

ately a rectangular prism with the dimensions 3 inches by 3 inches by 7.5 inches. how many malt balls will fit in the carton?
(reminder: you can assume that for random packing space 190% of the volume of the sphere is needed to pack the spheres and volume if sphere is 4/3π x r^3)

A. 160 balls
B. 210 balls
C. 305 balls

Answer:

A. 160 balls

Step-by-step explanation:

First we find the volume of each sphere.

diameter = d = 0.75 in.

radius = r = d/2 = 0.75/2 in. = 0.375 in.

V = (4/3)π(r^3) = (4/3)(3.14159)(0.375 in.)^3 = 0.221 in.^3

Because of the assumption about the space occupied by a sphere in random packing, we now calculate 190% of the volume of the sphere.

190%V = 1.9 * 0.221 in.^3 = 0.420 in.^3

Now we calculate the volume of the box.

V = LWH = 3 in. * 3 in. * 7.5 in. = 67.5 in.^3

To find out the number of balls that fit in the box, we divide the volume of the box by the randomly packed ball volume.

number of balls = (67.5 in.^3)/(0.420 in.^3) = 160.8

Answer: 160 balls

brilliants [131]

Answer:

atleast 52

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that an employment agency requires applicants average at least 70% on a battery of four job skills tests.

An applicant scored 70%, 77%, and 81% on the first three exams,

Since weightages are not given we can assume all exams have equal weights

Let x be the score on the 4th test

Then total of all 4 exams = 70+77+81+x\\= 228+x

Average should exceed 70%

i.e.\bar X \geq 70\\Total\geq 70(4) =280

Comparing the two totals we have

228+x\geq 280\\x\geq 280-228 = 52

Hemust  score on the fourth test a score atleast 52 to maintain a 70% or better average.

Option E

Step-by-step explanation:

This survey will not be reliable as it is chosen for convenience; the first 120 students to arrive in school on a particular morning and this collection of individuals may not be a representative of the population. The study may become biased because it does not take into account the latecomers among the students which might have been changed the study from systematically favoring certain outcomes.

The diagram shows 3 identical circles inside a rectangle.
Leya [2.2K]

one side is 12 as the radius is 2 so x 2 for diameter which is 4. there are 3 circles so times it by 3 which = 12.

the other side is 4 as one circle daimeter is 4.

4 x 12 = 48.

I am not exactly sure how to do the second part but i hope this helps u
