HELP!! Please scale a rectangular prism that is 300 inches, by 50 inches, by 30 inches to have a volume in the 60-70 cubic inch range.

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the prism:

Scaled volume is 60 - 70 in³

Find the scale factor k;

So the scale factor is

and the volume of the smaller prism is:

Scale factor 1/19, volume 65.6 in³

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the prism:

V = abh

V = 300*50*30 = 450000 in³

Scaled volume is 60 - 70 in³

Find the scale factor k;

450000/60 = 7500

450000/70 = 6428

1/6428 < 1/k³ < 1/7500

1/∛6428 < 1/∛k³ < 1/∛7500

1/18.59 < 1/k < 1/19.57

1/k = 19 is best

So the scale factor is

k = 1/19

and the volume of the smaller prism is:

450000 / 19³ = 65.6 in³

d. $180

step-by-step explanation:

if the dimensions of the room is 9ft by 12 ft, we have the area of the floor as,

so the area of the floor is 108 square feet, converting that into square yards we get,

the cost of carpet is $15 per square yard, therefore the cost of carpet for 12 square yards is,

hence, the cost of carpet is $180.

assuming the dimensions of the room be,

15 ft by 12 ft

so, the area of the floor of that room is,

we can convert 180 square feet into square yards, we know that,

1 sq ft = 0.111 sq yard

so, 180 square feet is,

so the area of floor is 20 square yards.

now, the cost of carpet is 15 dollars per square yard, therefore the cost of carpet for 20 square yards is,

so, it will cost $300.
