Chapman’s brickyard sells bricks and blocks. A brick costs $0.38 and a block costs $1.56. The brickyard filled a $24.80 order, w

Lisa [10]

Answer:

number of bricks = 16 and number of blocks = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

From given information it seems , we need to determine number of bricks and number of blocks.

lets assume number of bricks = x

and number of blocks = y

since total items in brickyard is 28

⇒ number of bricks + number of blocks = 28

⇒ x + y = 28 ----------------------- equation 1

Given that cost of 1 brick = $0.38 and cost of 1 block =$1.56

so cost of x bricks = cost of 1 brick × x = 0.38x

And cost of y blocks = cost of 1 block × y = 1.56y

total cost of 28 items order = $24.80

total cost of 28 items = cost of x bricks + cost of y blocks

⇒0.38x + 1.56y = 24.80 ----------------equation 2

Now we are having following two equations

x + y = 28 ----------------------- equation 1

0.38x + 1.56y = 24.80 ----------------equation 2

from equation 1 we get x = 28 - y , substituting this value of x in equation 2 we get

0.38(28 - y) + 1.56y = 24.80

⇒10.64-0.38y+1.56y= 24.80

⇒1.18y = 24.80 - 10.64

⇒y = 14.16÷1.18 = 12

substituting value of y in equation 1 we get

x + 12 = 28

⇒x = 16

hence number of bricks = x = 16 and number of blocks = y = 12

What is the common difference of the sequence below?

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In finding the COMMON DIFFERENCE, subtract the 2nd term and the first term.

a1 = -4

a2 = -2

Let "d" representing the COMMON DIFFERENCE.

d = -2 -(-4)

d = -2 + 4

d = 2

ANSWER:

THE COMMON DIFFERENCE OF THIS SEQUENCE IS 2

An open box with a square base is to be made from a square piece of cardboard 24 inches on a side by cutting out a square from e

laila [671]

Answer:

x=4 Inch

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the Square = 24 Inches

If a Square of Length x cm is cut out from each corner

Length of the Box = 24-x-x=(24-2x) Inches

Width of the Box =24-x-x=(24-2x) Inches

Height of the box = x inches

Volume of a Cuboid = Length X Width X Height

V(x)= x(24-2x)(24-2x)

Simplifying

V(x)=4x(12-x)(12-x)

To determine the value of x at which V is largest, we take the derivative of V(x) and solve for the critical points.

V(x)=4x(12-x)(12-x)

$V^{'}(x)=12(x-12)(x-4)$

Set the derivative equal to zero to obtain the critical points

$V^{'}(x)=12(x-12)(x-4)=0\\Since \: 12\neq 0\\(x-12)(x-4)=0\\x-12=0 \:or\: x-4=0\\x=12 \:or\: x=4$

x cannot be equal to 12 as it divides the length of the square cardboard into exactly two equal parts.

When x=4

V(4)=4*4(12-4)(12-4)=16*8*8=1024 Cubic Inches

When x=4 Inch, the volume, V of the open box is largest.
