If red oak lumber weighs 63 pounds per cubic foot, how much does one cord of red oak weigh? (a cord is a measurement for bulk wood—8 feet long, 4 feet wide, and 4 feet high.) a. 8,192 pounds b. 7,936 pounds c. 8,064 pounds d. 4,032 pounds

Option C. 8,064 pounds

Solution:

Unit weight: U=63 pounds/foot^3

Total Weight: W=?

W=U*V

Volume: V

Length: l=8 feet

Width: w=4 feet

Height: h=4 feet

V=l*w*h

Replacing the knwon values in the formula above:

V=(8 feet)*(4 feet)*(4 feet)

V=128 feet^3

Replacing in the formula of total Weight:

W=U*V

W=(63 pounds/foot^3)*(128 feet^3)

W=8,064 pounds

problem:

f(x) = - 2/3x + 5; f(5/2)

substitute 5/2 in for x:

f(5/2) = -2/3(5/2) + 5

simplify the right side:

f(5/2) = -5/3 + 5

f(5/2) = 10/3

f(5/2) = 10/3

i hope this !
