We are tasked to solve for the ratio of the two boxes. Boxes are cubes. We can use the formula in solving the surface area of the box as shown below:
Surface Area of Cube = 6a² where "a" is the length of the side.
For smaller box:
Area= 6(12)²=864
Area =864
For the larger box:
Area = 6(18)²
Area=1944

Then, the ratio is:
Area smaller box/Area larger box =864/1944
Ratio=4:9

there are 8 coins in total. there are 6 dimes. What is the fraction of dimes to coins. 

you would put the amount of dimes on the top and the total on the bottom.

Answer: 6/8 which can be simplified to 3/4

Or another Example:

There are 12 pieces in the pizza. Billy took 4. what is the fraction of the slices left.

it would be 4-12= 8

Answer: 8/12 which can be simplified to 4/6 and then to 2/3

2x - 3y = 13 x + 2y = -4
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

(2, - 3 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

2x - 3y = 13 → (1)

x + 2y = - 4 → (2)

Rearrange (2) expressing x in terms of y by subtracting 2y from both sides

x = - 4 - 2y → (3)

Substitute x = - 4 - 2y into (1)

2(- 4 - 2y) - 3y = 13 ← distribute and simplify left side

- 8 - 4y - 3y = 13

- 8 - 7y = 13 ( add 8 to both sides )

- 7y = 21 ( divide both sides by - 7 )

y = - 3

Substitute y = - 3 into (3) for corresponding value of x

x = - 4 - 2(- 3) = - 4 + 6 = 2

Solution is (2, - 3 )

Select the correct answer.
nordsb [41]

Answer:

A. The graph is a line that goes through the points (9,0) and (0,6).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

4x + 6y = 36

Required

Select the true options

(a)\ (9,0)\ and\ (0,6)

This implies that"

(x_1,y_1)= (9,0)

(x_2,y_2)= (0,6)

So, we have: (x_1,y_1)= (9,0)

4x + 6y = 36

4 * 9 + 6 * 0 = 36 + 0 = 36

So, we have: (x_2,y_2)= (0,6)

4 * 0 + 6 * 6 = 0 + 36 = 36

<em>Hence (a) is true.</em>
