I have another math question!?

Question

A lot of gum balls are in a glass container. The container is shaped like a box with a square base. When you look down on the top of the container, you see 25 gum balls at the surface. When you look at one side of the container you see 30 gum balls up against the glass. You also notice that there are 6 gum balls against each vertical edge of the container. Estimate how many gum balls there are in the container. Explain your reasoning!

Answer 1

The vertical edge is 6 balls high and the side has 30 balls total. The area (30) is length times height. You are given the height (6).
A = LH --> L = A/H = 5
The area of the top is 25, you have the length already, so solve for the width.
W = A/L = 5
The dimensions of the box are 6 x 5 x 5. The volume of the box is length times width times height.
V = LWH = 150 balls

Answer 2

Well you know that the container has a square base so the 25 gumballs on top mean it has a length and depth of 5. You also know that it has a height of 6 gumballs.

Thus the total numbers of gumballs is 5*5*6=150.

Answer 3

6*25=150
the important information was the 25 visible balls on top and the 6 on each vertical edge. the 30 on one side confirms the assumption that 25 pillars of 6 is a good estimate of the content

Answer 4

Base times height. Use 25 gumballs as your base height, and 6 for the height. 25 times 6 is 150. .

Answer 5

there are about 3750 gumballs in the container. = volume you take 25* 30. thern that times 5

Answer 6

Base * width * hight
25*30*6 =
750*6 = 4500

Answer 7

If square bottom then 5X5 gumballs
vertical is 6 gumballs

So total = 5X5X6 = 150 gumballs

Answer 8

well, that means that it's 25 by 30 by 6 so multiply those together. because it's like a cube so it's like length* width* height. hope this helps

Answer 9

165 total, 6 layers, 30,25,30,25 30,25=165
