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

What’s the value of the underlined digit in each number?<br> 0.679<br> 1.556<br> 6.8
Aleks [24]
For the first 6, we see that it is exactly one place behind the decimal point, therefore meaning that it is in the tenths place. The second 6 is three places behind the decimal place making it in the thousandths place. The third and final 6 is one place in front of the decimal, therefore it is in the ones place. Hope this helps!

Multiply. -8. -9/3 . 2/-5Write your answer in simplest form.
oee [108]
(-8)\cdot(-\frac{9}{3})\cdot(-\frac{2}{5})

To multiply these numbers, the first step is to writhe "-8" as an improper fraction, to do so, divide it by 1

(-\frac{8}{1})\cdot(-\frac{9}{3})\cdot(-\frac{2}{5})

Next is to solve the multiplication, to do so, first multiply the first two terms of the multiplication:

(-\frac{8}{1})\cdot(-\frac{9}{3})

The multiplication is between two negative numbers, when you multiply two negative numbers, the minus signs cancel each other and turn into a positive value, this is called "double-negative"

(-\frac{8}{1})\cdot(-\frac{9}{3})=\frac{8\cdot9}{1\cdot3}=\frac{72}{3}

Next multiply the result by the third fraction -2/5

This time you are multiplying a positive and a negative number, so the result of the calculation will be negative

\frac{72}{3}\cdot(-\frac{2}{5})=-\frac{72\cdot2}{3\cdot5}=-\frac{144}{15}

Final step is to simplify the result, both 144 and 15 are divisible by 3, so divide the numerator and denominator by 3 to simplify the result to the simplest form:

-\frac{144\div3}{15\div3}=-\frac{48}{5}

Shelly paid $8.84 for a pizza. This amount includes a sales tax of 4%. What was the cost of the pizza before tax?
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

$8.50

Step-by-step explanation:

let the price before tax be $x

given that the sales tax rate is 4%, hence the amount she paid in taxes

= 4% of x

= (4/100)x

= 0.04x

We can now build an equation for what she paid:

Amount Paid = price before tax + amount paid in taxes

8.84 = x + 0.04x

8.84 = 1.04x   (divide both sides by 1.04 and rearranging)

x = 8.84 / 1.04

x = $8.50
