Strangely, the wine for a large wedding reception is to be served in a stunning cut-glass receptacle with the interior dimensions of 40 cm × 40 cm × 30 cm (height). The receptacle is to be initially filled to the top. The wine can be purchased in bottles of the sizes given in the following table. Purchasing a larger bottle instead of multiple smaller bottles decreases the overall cost of the wine. To minimize the cost, (a) which bottle sizes should be purchased and how many of each should be purchased and, once the receptacle is filled, how much wine is left over in terms of (b) standard bottles and (c) liters?
1 standard bottle
1 magnum = 2 standard bottles
1 jeroboam = 4 standard bottles
1 rehoboam = 6 standard bottles
1 methuselah = 8 standard bottles
1 salmanazar = 12 standard bottles
1 balthazar = 16 standard bottles = 11.356 L
1 nebuchadnezzar = 20 standard bottles

- As a summer intern assigned to the Olympics Kayaking committee, you need to determine the speed of water flowing through a rapids section of the river in order to classify the rapids. For the purposes of your calculation, you assume the river has a rectangular cross section. You determine that for the region of interest, the river narrows from a width of 14 m to a width of 5.0 m and the depth of the river decreases from 2.0 m to 0.70 m. You also know that the speed of the river before the rapids is 1.7 m/s. Determine the speed of the river through the section of rapids.m/sarrow_forwardVolume of wooden block Cubic Cm? Cubic inch?
