You are right, with the total surface. next thing u want to do is multiply 290 and 0.05 and you should get your answer

Answer:

The manufacturing cost is $14.50

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the cost for manufacturing a standard cereal box, we must take in account its surface area. The volume will be used to estimate the amount of cereal, the box can contain. The box is a cuboid as standard cereal boxes are cuboid.

So, we will consider the surface area. Given are:

Length- 8 inches

Width- 3 inches

Height- 11 inches

We will find the surface area as : $2lw+2wh+2lh$

= $(2*8*3)+(2*3*11)+(2*8*11)$

= $48+66+176=290$ square inches

Given is - the cost of manufacturing the box is $0.05 per square inch.

So, cost of manufacturing the box with 290 square inches area =

$0.05\times290=14.50$ dollars.

The answer is $14.50

A. A 5in radius ball is in a

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

52.33%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, all six sides of the box are touching the ball.

So, all the three dimensions of the box are equal.

Hence, it is a cubical box.

Side length of the box (l)

= diameter of the ball

= 2*radius of the ball

= 2*5

= 10 In.

$V_{ball} = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$

$V_{ball} = \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14(5)^3$

$V_{ball} = \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14\times 125$

$V_{ball} = \frac{1,570}{3}\: In^3$

$V_{box} =l^3$

$V_{box} =(10)^3$

$V_{box} =1000\: In^3$

Percentage of the space in the box occupied by the ball

$= \frac{V_{ball}}{V_{box} } \times 100$

$= \frac{\frac{1,570}{3}}{1000} \times 100$

$= \frac{1570}{3000} \times 100$

$= \frac{157}{3}$

$= 52.33\%$

A coordinate grid showing Number of Classes on the horizontal x-axis and Total Cost in dollars on the vertical y-axis with 2 lin

Oksana_A [137]

The system of equations representing these costs are; y = 7.5x and y = 5.5x + 10

<h3>How to find the equation of a line?</h3>

The slope of the first line is;

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (32 - 10)/(4 - 0)

m = 5.5

Now, the first coordinate has a y-intercept of 10. Thus, the equation here for the cost is; y = mx + c = 5.5x + 10

The slope of the second line is;

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (15 - 0)/(2 - 0)

m = 7.5

Now, the first coordinate has a y-intercept of 0. Thus, the equation here for the cost is; y = mx + c = 7.5x + 0 = 7.5x

Thus, the system of equations representing these costs are;

y = 7.5x and y = 5.5x + 10
