A cereal company is creating new boxes for its product. In order to display the boxes, the stores they sell to require that the

boxes be 11.5 inches high and no longer than 8.4 inches. The printing department requires exactly 272.8 square inches of space in order to use the planned design that covers the box. If the company wishes to maximize the length of the box, then what should be the width of the box?

If the problem says "space", that usually means that they are talking about volume. The maximum length the box can be is 8.4 inches. To find volume, you do length * width * height. You know the length and height, as well as the volume. You can replace the width with "x". Your equation should be:

11.5 * 8.4 * x = 272.8

Then you can just solve for x by dividing both sides by (11.5 * 8.4). The answer should be about 2.82 inches.

dem82 [27]

Answer:

So, "Compare the following rational numbers," its asking which of them is greater, or if there equal to each other.

So for 3.25 and 3 1/2

3 1/2 is greater

3.25 < 3 1/2 (so it should look like this when the symbol on that side)

and for -4.5 and -4.05

-4.05 is greater.

-4.5 < -4.05  (so the symbol is also on that side.)

If twelve pounds of nails cost $3.84 what is the unit cost A) 32c B) 28c C) 23c D) 18c
aalyn [17]

Answer:

Option A) 32c

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To find the unit cost, divide the total cost of twelve pounds by twelve pounds

so

\frac{\$3.84}{12}=\$0.32

Remember that

1$=100 cents

Convert dollars to cents

\$0.32=0.32*100=32c

therefore

The cost of one pound of nails cost 32 cents

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer: y-6 = 0.5 (x-8)

Step-by-step explanation:

y − y1 = m(x − x1)

The equation is useful when we know:

one point on the line: (x1,y1)

and the slope of the line: m,

and want to find other points on the line.

Have a play with it first (move the point, try different slopes):
