Complete Question

An open box is formed from a rectangular piece of cardboard that is 5 in. longer than it is wide, by removing squares of side 4 in. from each corner and folding up the sides. If the volume of the carton is then 336 in³, what were the dimensions of the original piece of cardboard?

Select one:

a. 15 in. by 20 in.

b. 7 in. by 12 in.

c. 11 in. by 16 in.

d. 19 in. by 24 in.

Answer:

a. 15 in. by 20 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that:

An open box is formed from a rectangular piece of cardboard that is 5 in longer than it is wide, by removing squares of side 4 in from each corner and folding up the sides.

Volume of the carton = 336 in³

Step 1

We find the area of the new piece of the cardboard

Volume of the carton/side of the square removed

= 336 in³/4 in

= 84 in²

Step 2

An open box is formed from a rectangular piece of cardboard that is 5 in longer than it is width.

Length = 5 + Width

Hence, we find the factors of 84 in² that has a difference of 5 in

Factors of 84 = 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 12, 14, 21, 28, 42 and 84

Hence, the Factors with a difference of 5 inches = 7 and 12

The Length = 12 inches

Width is 7 inches.

The dimensions of the new piece of cardboard is 7 inches by 12 inches

Step 3

What were the dimensions of the original piece of cardboard?

Remember in the question, we are told that squares of sides 4 inches were removed from both corners

Hence,

4 inches + 4 inches = 8 inches was removed.

The dimensions of the original piece of cardboard =

Original Width = Width of the new cardboard + 8 inches

= 7 inches + 8 inches

= 15 inches.

Original length = Length of the the new cardboard + 8 inches

= 12 inches + 8 inches

= 20 inches.

Therefore, the dimensions of the original piece of cardboard is 15 inches by 20 inches

Melissa was recording the heights of 4 flowers in her garden. The rose bush grew 12 inches in 1 month, the daisies grew 5 inches in 2 weeks, the tulips grew 8 inches in 3 weeks, and the daffodils grew 3 inches in 1 week. Which flower grew at the slowest rate?

Answers

Answer:

Daisies flower grows the slowest

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

Rate of growth of rose bush; 12 inches in 1 month.

1 month = 4 weeks.

Thus, we have; 12 inches in 4 weeks.

In 1 week, it grows; 12/4 = 3 inches per week

Rate of growth of daisies; 5 inches in 2 weeks. Thus, in 1 week, it grows by; 5/2 = 2.5 inches per week.

Rate of growth of tulips; 8 inches in 3 weeks. In one week, it grows by; 8/3 = 2.67 inches per week

Rate of growth of daffodils; 3 inches in 1 week = 3 inches per week

Looking at all the rates above, the slowest is 2.5 inches per week. This is for daisies.

A particular plant root grows 1.5 inches per month. How many centimeters is the plant root growing per month? (1 inch = 2.54 centimeters). 0.59 centimeters 1.69 centimeters 3.81 centimeters 4.04 centimeters

Answers

Answer:

The plant root grows 3.81 centimeters per month.

Step-by-step explanation:

From Physics, we remember that an inch equals 2.54 centimeters. Given that a particular plant root grows 1.5 inches per month, we proceed to make a quick conversion to calculate its value in centimeters per month:

[tex]x = 1.5\,\frac{in}{mo}\times \frac{2.54\,cm}{1\,in}[/tex]

[tex]x = 3.81\,\frac{cm}{mo}[/tex]

The plant root grows 3.81 centimeters per month.

Home improvement charges $360 plus $12 per hour.Ace hardware charges $279 plus $15 per hour.Write and solve an equation for which the two cost would be the same

Answers

Answer:

360+12x=279+15x

The two costs would be the same when both companies charge 27 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given, you need to find the number of hours where both companies charge the same and to do that, you can write an equation where Home Improvement cost is equal to Ace Hardware cost:

360+12x=279+15x, where x is the number of hours

Now, you can solve for x:

360-279=15x-12x

81=3x

x=81/3

x=27

According to this, the answer is that the two costs would be the same when both companies charge 27 hours.

now, solve for y, when x=0:

-1(0)^2+53(0)+261=4(0)^2-52(0)+212

0+0+261=0-0+212

261=212

the difference is 49, so 49 years before or after 2016.

The Rodriguez family went out to dinner and the bill came to $35.85. They wanted to leave a 20% tip. What is the tip? What is the total amount the Rodriguez family spent at the restaurant?

Answers

Answer:

The tip is $7.17

Total amount spent is $43.02

Step-by-step explanation:

The bill is $35.85

The tip is 20%

You want to find 20% of $35.85 so multiply 35.85 by .2 (20% to decimal is .2)

35.85 multiplied by .2 gives you $7.17

So the tip is going to be $7.17

The total amount the family pays is the sum of the tip and the bill so

tip + bill = $7.17+$35.85 = $43.02

hope this helps

Answer:

total = $43.02

Step-by-step explanation:

for tip,

X = 20% of bill

X = 20/ 100  X $35.85

X = $ 7.17

For total amount,

total = bill + tip

        = $35.85 + $7.17

        = $43.02

When playing many games, players must roll a pair of dice and find the sum of the two numbers rolled. With two dice, there are 11 possible sums ranging from 2 through 12. What is the probability that a player will roll a sum of 11 on his first roll of two dice? Express your answer as a common fraction.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]Probability = \frac{1}{18}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Dice = 2[/tex]

Required

Probability of getting sum of 11

First, we need to list out the sample space;

Represent the first dice with S1 and the second with S2

[tex]S_1 = \{1,2,3,4,5,6\}[/tex]

[tex]S_2 = \{1,2,3,4,5,6\}[/tex]

Represent the Sum of the outcome with S

So, the new sample space is the sum of outcome of S1 and S2

So, S is as follows:

[tex]S = \{2,3,4,5,6,7,3,4,5,6,7,8,4,5,6,7,8,9,5,6,7,8,9,10,6,7,8,9,10,11,7,8,9,10,11,12\}[/tex]

Represent the number of sample space with n(S)

[tex]n(S) = 36[/tex]

To determine the probability of outcome of 11, we need to list out the number of outcomes of 11.

Represent this with n(11)

From the sample space above,

[tex]n(11) = 2[/tex]

The required probability is then calculated as thus:

[tex]Probability = \frac{n(11)}{n(S)}[/tex]

[tex]Probability = \frac{2}{36}[/tex]

Simplify to the least term

[tex]Probability = \frac{1}{18}[/tex]
