A + b = 70
a = 2/5b

2/5b + b = 70
2/5b + 5/5b = 70
7/5b = 70
b = 70 * 5/7
b = 350/7
b = 50

a = 2/5b
a = 2/5(50)
a = 100/5
a = 20

the numbers are 50 and 20....the smallest being 20 and the largest being 50

X + 2/5x = 70
1x + 2/5x = 70
1 2/5 x = 70
7/5 x = 70  multiply both sides by 5
7x = 350  divide both sides by 7
x = 50    so 2/5 x = 20    the two numbers are 50 and 20
the larger of the two is 50

Rectangular prism A measures 2 inches by 7 inches by 8 inches. Rectangular prism B measures 1 inches by 5 inches by 10 inches.
satela [25.4K]

The Volume for Rectangular prism A is 172 inches², Volume = 112 inches³

Surface Area to Volume Ratio = 43/28

<h3>Mensuration of Solids</h3>

Given Data

Rectangular prism A

Length = 2 inches

Width = 7 inches

Height = 8 inches

Surface Area

A=2(wl+hl+hw)

A=2(7*2+8*2+8*7)

A=2(14+16+56)

A= 172 inches²

Volume

Volume = L*W*H

Volume = 2*7*8

Volume = 112 inches³

Surface Area to Volume Ratio

= 172/112

= 43/28
