In a local ice sculpture contest, one group sculpted a block into a rectangular based pyramid. The dimensions of the base were 3 m by 5 m, and the pyramid was 3.6 m high. Calculate the amount of ice needed for this sculpture.

18m square

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for rectangular- based pyramid is L x W x H divided by 3

= 3 x 5 x 3.6 divided by 3 = 18

So you would need 18 m square for the sculpture

answer set (b) 0.5, 3/4 80% is in order from least to greatest.  

step-by-step explanation:

in order to compare rational numbers to each other, it is much easier if they are in the same form.   typically, the best form in which to evaluate rational numbers is in decimals.   in order to convert a percent to a decimal, you would divide the given percentage by 100.   you can also accomplish the conversion by moving the decimal point over two places to the left.   for example, the decimal value of 80% is 80/100, or 0.8.   in order to convert a fraction to a decimal, you need to divide the numerator by the denominator.   for example, 3/4 is 0.75.   so, for choice (b) 0.5 3/4 (0.75), 80% (0.8) is the only choice in which the numbers are in order from least to greatest.
