What is the volume of a cube with sides measuring 5 inches?

The volume of a cube with sides measuring 5 inches is 125 cubic inches.

Find the area of a rectangle with length 8 cm and width 4 cm.

To find the area of a rectangle, you multiply the length by the width. In this case, the length is 8 cm and the width is 4 cm. So, the area of the rectangle is 8 cm x 4 cm = 32 square cm.

If a car travels at a speed of 60 miles per hour, how far will it travel in 4 hours?

If a car travels at a speed of 60 miles per hour for 4 hours, it will cover a distance of 240 miles.

A box contains 12 red balls and 8 blue balls. What is the probability of selecting a red ball randomly from the box?

The probability of selecting a red ball randomly from the box can be calculated by dividing the number of red balls by the total number of balls in the box. In this case, there are 12 red balls and 8 blue balls, giving a total of 20 balls in the box. Therefore, the probability of selecting a red ball randomly is 12/20, which simplifies to 3/5 or 0.6.

A triangle has a base of 10 units and a height of 6 units. Calculate its area.

To calculate the area of a triangle, you use the formula: Area = 0.5 x base x height. Given the base is 10 units and the height is 6 units, the area of the triangle would be 0.5 x 10 x 6 = 30 square units. Hence, the area of the triangle is 30 square units.

If the interior angles of a quadrilateral add up to 360 degrees, find the measure of each angle in a rectangle.

In a rectangle, the interior angles are all right angles, which means each angle measures 90 degrees.

A store offers a 40% discount on all items. If a shirt is originally priced at $30, what is the sale price?

The sale price of the shirt after a 40% discount would be $18. This is calculated by subtracting 40% of the original price ($30) from the original price: $30 - ($30 * 0.40) = $30 - $12 = $18.

A group of students share a pizza equally. If there are 8 students and the pizza is cut into 12 equal slices, how many slices will each student receive?

Each student will receive 1.5 slices of pizza because 12 slices divided by 8 students equals 1.5 slices per student.

Solve the equation: 3x + 5 = 17

To solve the equation 3x + 5 = 17, first subtract 5 from both sides to isolate the term with x. This gives you 3x = 12. Then, divide both sides by 3 to solve for x. So, x = 4. Thus, the solution to the equation 3x + 5 = 17 is x = 4.

Two trains leave from the same station at the same time, one traveling east at 60 mph and the other traveling west at 40 mph. After 2 hours, how far apart will the trains be?

After 2 hours, the train traveling east would have covered a distance of 120 miles (60 mph x 2 hours) and the train traveling west would have covered a distance of 80 miles (40 mph x 2 hours). Therefore, the total distance between the two trains would be the sum of their distances, which is 120 miles + 80 miles = 200 miles apart.
