Let W = width of package
Let H = height of package
Let L = length of package

The perimeter cab be one of the following:
P = 2(L + W),  or
P = 2(L + H)

The perimeter of the cross section cannot exceed 108 in.
When the width is 10 in, then
 2(L + 10) <= 108
 L + 10 <= 54
 L <= 44 in

When the height is 15 in, then
2(L + 15) <= 108
L + 15 <= 54
L <= 39 in

To satisfy both of these conditions requires that L <= 39 in.

Answer: 39 inches

There is a mound of g pounds of gravel in a quarry. Throughout the day, 300 pounds of gravel are added to the mound. Two orders
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

g+300-700-700=1500, g=2600

Step-by-step explanation:

At the start of the day there are g pounds of gravel in the quarry.

Then it says that there were 300 pounds added to the mound, so at this point the pounds of gravel in the mound are now g+300.

Then two orders of 700 pounds are sold and removed from the mound. That means they removed 700 pounds from the mound 2 times. Therefore at this point the pounds of gravel in the mound are now g+300-700-700.

Then it says that at this point, the amount of pounds in the mound are 1500.  Hence we get

g+300-700-700=1500

To solve for g we just add 700 two times to both sides of the equation, and subtract 300 from both sides of the equation, getting:

g+300-700-700+700+700-300=1500+700+700-300

And so g=2600
