Answer:
1/8 inches
A type of cracker, rectangular in shape, is stored in a vertical column with all of the crackers stacked directly on top of each other. Each cracker measures 2 inches in length by inches in width. The volume of the column is 15 inches cubed. If there are 40 crackers in the column, what is the height of each individual cracker?
The height of the cracker is 0.002in
Data;
- length = 2in
- width = 2in
- volume of column = 15in^3
Height of each cracker
The height of each cracker can be calculated by first calculating the volume from the column.
[tex]v = l * w * h[/tex]
Since there are 40 crackers in the column,
[tex]15 = 40(2 * 2 * h)\\15 = 40 * 4h\\15 = 160h\\h = 0.09375in[/tex]
The height of the column is 0.09375in
The height of individual cracker is
[tex]h = \frac{0.09375}{40} \\h = 0.002in[/tex]
The height of the cracker is 0.002in
