Answer:

If a box has a greater volume, it can hold more cereal.

Box 2 can hold more cereal. Although the value of x is unknown, it represents a length, so it must be greater than zero. For any x > 1, the volume of Box 2 is greater than the volume of Box 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:

Box 2

Explanation:

In these expressions, x represents the width of the box.  We are asked about widths greater than 1; let's us 1.1 as an example:

Box 1:

3(1.1⁵) = 4.83153

Box 2:

4(1.1⁵)-(1.1⁴) = 6.44204 - 1.4641 = 4.97794

With a difference as small as a tenth, the volume of box 2 is larger.  The larger the difference in width, the larger the difference in volume, and the volume of box 2 will be larger every time.

One-half of a number,<br> increased by 69 is 74.<br> What is the number?
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be n then half the number is \frac{1}{2} n , so

\frac{1}{2} n + 69 = 74 ( subtract 69 from both sides )

\frac{1}{2} n = 5 ( multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction )

n = 10

Thus the number is 10

If you roll two four-sided dice numbered 1, 2, 3, and 4), what is the probability that the sum of the dice is 7? Enter a fractio
Anna [14]
The probability that the sum of the dice is 7 is 1/2 because there are only three combinations that result in the sum of 7: (1,6)(2,5) and (3,4). But there are 6 possible outcomes( this is if you don’t add reverse combinations such as 1,6 and 6,1) so the probability would be 3/6 or 1/2
