a travel company has 132 tourists who are going on a boat ride. each boat holds 8 passengers. how many boats does the travel company need to book ?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: ok so
total capacity that all boats ordered can carry should be at least 132
total capacity that all boats ordered can carry =number of boats times number of people each boat can carry

people each boat can caryy=8 people
x=numbe of boats
132=x times 8
divide both sides by 8
132/8=x times 8/8
16.5=1x
16.5=x
you can't order 0.5 boats so round up to nearest whole
16.5 to 17

answer is 17 boats

Answer 2
Answer: 132/8=16.5 boats
since you cant get 16.5 boats, round up to 17 boats.

What is the volume of the right rectangular prism?

The volume of a right rectangular prism (V) = l × w × h,

where

“l” is the base length

“w” is the base width

“h” is the height of the prism

Given,

Height of prism = 15mm

The Base area of prism = 49^2mm

As we know the formula of base area = lw

which equals to lw = 49^2mm

now, the volume of the right rectangular prism is = lwh

                                                                              =49*15 mm^3

                                                                              = 735mm^3

Answer:

735 mm³

Step-by-step explanation:

refer to attached picture

volume = lwh  

given: area of base = lw = 49 mm²

hence formula can be re-written

volume = (area of base) x h

= 49 x 15

= 735 mm³
