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

The length of a rectangle is 4 yd more than twice the width x. The area is 390

masya89 [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1. let l be the length of the rectangle

step 2. l = 2x + 4

step 3. lx = 390 yd^2

step 4. (2x + 4)x = 390

step 5. 2x^2 +4x = 390

step 6. 2x^2 + 4x - 390 = 0

step 7. -4 +- sqr(4^2 -4(2)(-390))/2(2) quadratic formula

step 8. (-4 +- sqr(3136))/4

step 9. (-4 +- 56)/4

step 10. x = 13yd, l = 2x + 4 = 2(13) + 4 = 30yd.

Laura created a website to create T-shirts. In the first month she put up her website she had only a single T-shirt order. Each

kiruha [24]

Laura received 144 orders over the first year

Solution:

Given function is:

f(n) = 2n - 1

Where, "n" is the month

In the first month she put up her website she had only a single T-shirt order

f(1) = 2(1) - 1 = 2 - 1

f(1) = 1

There are 12 months in a year

For the second month, and third month and so on, substitute n = 2, 3 and so on

f(2) = 2(2) - 1 = 4 - 1 = 3

f(3) = 2(3) - 1 = 6 - 1 = 5

f(4) = 2(4) - 1 = 8 - 1 = 7

f(5) = 2(5) - 1 = 10 - 1 = 9

f(6) = 2(6) - 1 = 12 - 1 = 11

f(7) = 2(7) - 1 = 14 - 1 = 13

f(8) = 2(8) - 1 = 16 - 1 = 15

f(9) = 2(9) - 1 = 18 - 1 = 17

f(10) = 2(10) - 1 = 20 - 1 = 19

f(11) = 2(11) - 1 = 22 - 1 = 21

f(12) = 2(12) - 1 = 24 - 1 = 23

Thus total orders received over first year:

Total orders = 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 + 15 + 17 + 19 + 21 + 23

Total orders = 144

Thus she received 144 orders over the first year

Could someone please tell me how to solve this?

You would take the CUBED ROOT of 125 instead of the square root, this will help find your answer..
It’s 5, because 5^3 is 125
