To determine which load is heavier, oak logs weighing 1 2/3 tons or maple logs weighing 1 7/12 tons, we convert these to improper fractions and find that 44/12 tons (oak logs) is heavier than 19/12 tons (maple logs).
To determine which load weighs more, we must compare 1 2/3 tons of oak logs and 1 7/12 tons of maple logs. First, we need to convert these mixed numbers into improper fractions. For the oak logs, we multiply 3 (the whole number) by 3 (the denominator) and add 2 (the numerator), giving us 11/3 tons. For the maple logs, we multiply 1 by 12 (the denominator) and add 7 (the numerator), giving us 19/12 tons.
To compare, we convert these fractions so they have a common denominator:
11/3 tons is equal to 44/12 tons when multiplied by 4/4.
19/12 tons remains unchanged as it already has the common denominator of 12.
Now we compare 44/12 (oak logs) and 19/12 (maple logs). 44/12 tons is greater than 19/12 tons, so the load of oak logs weighs more than the load of maple logs.

Step-by-step explanation:
The space contained by Styrofoam peanuts is 744 cubic inches.
In three-dimensional space, a prism is a polyhedron where two ends are similar.
Given:
A glass box shaped like a rectangular prism has a width of 7 inches, length 9 inches, and height 12 inches.
It's being shipped in a larger box with width 10 inches, length 10 inches, and height 15 inches.
The space between the glass box and the shipping box will be filled with styrofoam peanuts.
The space contained by Styrofoam peanuts,
= The volume of the shipping box - the volume of the glass box.
=(10 x 10 x 15) - 7 x 9 x 12
= 744 cubic inches.
Therefore, the contained space is 744 cubic inches.
