Gabby's dad drives a dump truck for a construction company. Last week, he came to Gabby's class for Career Day and talked about how math is used in his job. As an example, he told the class the bed of his truck is shaped like a rectangular prism with a volume of 24 cubic meters. The bed is 4 meters long and 2 meters deep. How wide is the bed of the truck?

PLEASE HELP

3 meters wide

Step-by-step explanation:

if the volume is 24 and the bed is 4 meters long and 2 meters deep, just multiply 4 x 2 =8 then find what number multiplies with 8 to get 24 which is: 3

cut 138 centimeters off

step-by-step explanation:

250-112 = 138

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
