Answer:
rational
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: The answer is x = 6 units.
Step-by-step explanation: Please refer to the attached diagram
The diagram in the question shows two triangles placed on each other and for convenience sake has been labelled ABDCE. Triangle ABC is a right angled triangle, and so is triangle ADE. From the marks on the lines, we can infer that line AD is equal in measurement to line DB. Also line AE is equal in measurement to line EC.
Therefore we can see the similarity in both triangles, if AD and AE equals DB and EC, then it follows that DE equals BC.
Hence if AD = DB and
AE = EC, and
DE = BC
Then, x - 3 = ½x
(½x can also be expressed as x/2)
x - 3 = x/2
By cross multiplication we now have
2(x - 3) = x
2x - 6 = x
By collecting like terms we now have
2x - x = 6
x = 6
Answer: A company saves $134.38 by choosing to make 50 of Box 2 instead of Box 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, to answer this question we have to calculate the surface area of both boxes.
<em>Surface area (A) = 2wl + 2lh + 2hw,
</em>
Where w is width, l is length , and h is height.
- Box 1 = A = 2(6x20) + 2( 20x4) + 2 (4 x 6) =2 (120)+ 2 (80)+ 2(24) =448 in2
- Box 2 = A = 2 (4x15)+ 2(15x8)+ 2(8x4) = 2(60)+2(120)+2(32)=424 in2
Since 1 inch = 0.0833333 foot
- Box 1 = 448 in2 x 0,0833333 =37.34 ft2
- Box 2= 424 in2 x 0,0833333 =35.19 ft2
Since the material used to make a storage box costs $1.25 per square foot.
- Box 1 =37.34 ft2 x1.25 = $ 46.675
- Box 2= 35.19 ft2 x 1.25 =$43.98
Since 50 of each are made:
- Box 1 = $ 46.675 x50 =2,333.750
- Box 2= $43.98 x50 =2,199.37
Subtracting both costs:
2,333.750(1) - 2,199.37(2) = $134.38
The equation that represents the array (rectangles and area) multiplication model that sows two grey shaded columns of length one ninth each and three rows with dots of width one fourth each is option <em>a</em>
a) The equation with fractions two ninths times three fourths is equal to six thirty sixths

<h3>What is an array (area) multiplication model?</h3>
An array representation of a multiplication is a rectangular visual order of positioning of rows and columns that indicates the terms of a multiplication equation.
Please find attached the area model to multiply the fractions
The terms of the equation represented by the model are indicated by the two columns of length one ninth each shaded grey and the three rows of width one fourth each covered with dots, such that the equation can be presented as follows;

The equation that the model represents is therefore;
- The equation with fractions two ninths times three fourths is equal to six thirty sixths
