Answer:
length=53 in
width= 23 in
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we know that each corner has now a square of 6 in long, so the heigth of the box will be of this size (as you can see in the picture attached). Then, the length and the width of the box would be the same as the piece, but with 12 in less. Therefore the equations to solve the problem are:

We factorize the 6 and we get:

Finally we solve for x, and we get the initial dimensions of the piece of metal:


1/2 and 3/8
equivalent
1/2 = 4/8
so 4/8 is greater than 3/8
Answer
5 1/2 is bigger than 5 3/8

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The math club makes 35 bars of laundry soap a week and sells these at $20 each. This means that the total number of bars of laundry soap made in a 4 week month would be
4 × 35 = 140 bars
If the pupils found that 6 bars were destroyed by mice, the total number of bars of soap left would be
140 - 6 = 134 bars
Therefore, the total sale at the end of a four week month would be
134 × 20 = $2680
