Mathematics

enyata [817]1 year ago

Answer:

60 books

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number of books Willy has be x , then

Tammy has 4x books

Willy has 180 fewer books , that is Tammy has 180 more than Willy , so

4x = x + 180 ( subtract x from both sides )

3x = 180 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 60

Thus

Willy has 60 books andTammy has 4 × 60 = 240 books

which is 180 more than Willy

A rectangular box with a square base is to be constructed from material that costs $9 per ft2 for the bottom, $5 per ft2 for the
kramer

Answer:

18.73ft^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Side of square base=x

Height of rectangular box=y

Area of square base=Area of top=(side)^2=x^2

Area of one side face=l\times b=xy

Cost of bottom=$9 per square ft

Cost of top=$5 square ft

Cost of sides=$4 per square ft

Total cost=$204

Volume of rectangular box=V=lbh=x^2y

Total cost=9(x^2)+5x^2+4(4xy)=14x^2+16xy

204=14x^2+16xy

204-14x^2=16xy

y=\frac{204-14x^2}{16x}=\frac{102-7x^2}{8x}

Substitute the values of y

V(x)=x^2\times \frac{102-7x^2}{8x}=\frac{1}{8}(102x-7x^3)

Differentiate w.r.t x

V'(x)=\frac{1}{8}(102-21x^2)=0

V'(x)=0

\frac{1}{8}(102-21x^2)=0

102-21x^2=0

102=21x^2

x^2=\frac{102}{21}=4.85

x=\sqrt{4.85}=2.2

It takes positive because side length cannot be negative.

Again differentiate w.r. t x

V''(x)=\frac{1}{8}(-42x)

Substitute the value

V''(2.2)=-\frac{42}{8}(2.2)=-11.55

Hence, the volume of box is maximum at x=2.2 ft

Substitute the value  of x

y=\frac{102-7(2.2)^2}{8(2.2)}=3.87 ft

Greatest volume of box=x^2y=(2.2)^2\times 3.87=18.73 ft^3

Help pls
lana [24]
You can either do;


1. 90(2) = 100(2)

180 = 200


In 3 minutes, they can write 200 words. So now we can divide by 3.

3/3 = 1 minute

200/3 ≈ 66.666


or


2. 90/3 = 30 secs

100/3 ≈ 33.333


30(2) = 1 minute

33.333(2) ≈ 66.666


Either way, the admin assistant can write 67 words per minute. (Rounded to the nearest whole)

Mario start collecting stamps in January and buys 12 stamps each month.Karen starts collecting stamps in July and buys 18 starts
Goryan [66]

Answer:

12 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Mario:

12 stamps per month

Since January

Karen :

18 stamps per month

Starts on july

Number of stamps collected by Mario till the end of June :

12 * 6 = 72 stamps

For Mario :

72 + 12x

For karen:

18x

Where x is the number of months after karen starts :

Equate both equations

72 + 12x = 18x

72 = 18x - 12x

72 = 6x

x = 72/6

x = 12

After 12 months

Number of months after karen starts, will they have same amount of stamp
