Answer 1

So, the blimp is approximately 8.43% full after being inflated with 2,950 cubic feet of gas.

Explanation:

Certainly! Let's calculate the percentage the blimp is full after being inflated with 2,950 cubic feet of gas:

\[

\text{Percentage Full} = \left( \frac{2,950}{35,000} \right) \times 100 \approx 8.43\%

\]

So, the blimp is approximately 8.43% full after being inflated with 2,950 cubic feet of gas.
