Jeremy and Sarah built towers out of Legos. Jeremy's tower had a 8-inch square base. Sarah's tower had a 4-inch square base. If Jeremy's tower had a volume of 192 cubic inches and Sarah's
had a volume of 128 cubic inches, whose tower was taller? Explain your reasoning.

Sarah's tower was taller.

Explanation:

If Jeremy's base was 8 units and in the shape of a square, then there had to be eight cubes in eight rows as his base to make it a square.

If Sarah's was for cubes, then her's would be four cubes on each side of the square, making four rows and four columns.

Jeremy's base would be 64 cubes in volume (64 cubes big) because his eight by eight base equals sixty-four. (8×8=64)

In the same way, Sarah's base would be only 16 cubes because her square was 4×4 which equals 16.

If Jeremy was making his tower eight cubes wide each time he built another layer, he would be cubes 64 cubes each time and run out of his cubes after only making his tower less than four cubes high.

Sarah's tower would be much taller because with her only using 16 cubes every time she builds another cube high, her 128 cubes would run out after she had already made it 8 cubes high, which is taller than Jeremy's.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

journalism is the gathering, organizing, and distribution of news -- to include feature stories and commentary -- through the wide variety of print and non-print media outlets. it is not a recent phenomenon, by any means; the earliest reference to a journalistic product comes from rome circa 59 b.c., when news was recorded in a circular called the acta diurna. it enjoyed daily publication and was hung strategically throughout the city for all to read, or for those who were able to read.
