A paper manufacturer is evaluating their packing procedures. Currently, they package twelve reams of paper in a box—in three sta

cks of four reams. However, their company has been getting complaints from the retail stores that the box is too large and heavy for the average consumer to carry by their self. So, they have decided to reduce the weight of each box by ten pounds. You have been asked to explore the different packing options based on the new weight condition and present your recommendation to the CEO of the paper company.
Note: In your evaluation, make sure to consider the ease with which one person can carry the box, as well as the amount of cardboard required to make the box. In addition, please label all measurements.

Make note!
A ream of paper weighs 5 pounds and has dimensions of 8.5 inches by 11 inches by 2 inches.

Each ream weighs 5 lb . so, reducing 10 lb means removing 2 reams from the 12. so, how do we arrange the 10 reams so that its easy to carry?
i thinks that 3 stacks will not work as it wont be a symmetric arrangement as 1 will be left out. So, 2 stacks of 5 each would be easy to carry. but the stacks should be placed in such a way that the lengths are parallel to each other and not in-line which would increase the length making it comparatively longer. its easier to hold a (2*8.5,11,2*5=17,11,17)compact box.

Find the output of the function y = x - 16 if the input is -28.<br> Help please
Serhud [2]

Answer:

-44

Step-by-step explanation:

If the input is -28, that means x = -28, so we plug -28 in for x and solve for y, which is the output:

y = x - 16

y = -28 - 16 = -44

The answer is thus -44.

Answer:

  (a)  ΔARS ≅ ΔAQT

Step-by-step explanation:

The theorem being used to show congruence is ASA. In one of the triangles, the angles are 1 and R, and the side between them is AR. The triangle containing those angles and that side is ΔARS.

In the other triangle, the angles are 3 and Q, and the side between them is AQ. The triangles containing those angles and that side is ΔAQT.

The desired congruence statement in Step 3 is ...

  ΔARS ≅ ΔAQT

<em><u>Answer:</u></em>

Around 4 : 3 because the measurements might not be perfect.

<em><u>Step-by-step explanation:</u></em>

So the ratio of the NEW : ORIGINAL is just one side of the rectangle to the other side of the original one.

We know that the newer rectangle (or the larger one) has 4 cm as its side and that the original one (the smaller one) has 3cm as its side. Then we can create the ratio of NEW : ORIGINAL as: 4 : 3

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

360 is divisible by all numbers 2,3,4,5,6,9 or 10 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : 360

To find : 360 is divisible by which of the following numbers 2,3,4,5,6,9, or 10

Solution : We have given

Numbers 2,3,4,5,6,9, or 10.

For number = 2

\frac{360}{2} = 180.

For number = 3

\frac{360}{3} = 120.

For number = 4

\frac{360}{4 } = 90.

For number = 5

\frac{360}{5 } = 72.

For number = 6

\frac{360}{6 } = 60.

For number = 9

\frac{360}{9 } = 40.

For number = 10

\frac{360}{10 } = 36

Therefore, 360 is divisible by all numbers 2,3,4,5,6,9 or 10 .
