For the wooden box, if you do 7560 ÷ 180 you get 42. that's how many boxes you would need. multiply 42 by the cost of the wooden boxes: 42 × 0.70 you get 29.40 dollars

for the plastic container, do 7560 ÷ 126 which equals 60, the amount of plastic containers you would need. multiply 60 by the plastic containers cost: 60×40= 24 dollars.

to save money, the company should use the plastic containers because it costs less than the wooden ones.

Jane is 5 times older than her sister. In 3 years, Jane’s sister will be 1/4 her age. Find the ages now
Korolek [52]

The present age of Jane is 45 years old and present age of her sister is 9 years old

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let the present age of Jane be "x"

Let the present age of her sister be "y"

<em><u>Jane is 5 times older than her sister</u></em>

present age of Jane = 5(present age of her sister)

x = 5y ---------- eqn 1

<em><u>In 3 years, Jane’s sister will be 1/4 her age</u></em>

Age of sister after 3 years = 3 + y

Age of jane after 3 years = 3 + x

Age of sister after 3 years = 1/4(age of jane after 3 years)

3 + y = \frac{1}{4}(3 + x)

Substitute eqn 1 in above equation

3 + y = \frac{1}{4}(3 + 5y)\\\\12 + 4y = 3 + 5y\\\\5y - 4y = 12 - 3\\\\y = 9

Substitute y = 9 in eqn 1

x = 5(9)

x = 45

Thus present age of Jane is 45 years old and present age of her sister is 9 years old

A prisms characteristics are as followed

  First, a prism has two faces that are the same in shape and are parallel.  those two faces are sometimes called the <span>bases </span>of the prism.  Between these two faces are the rest of the sides of the prism which most of the time are rectangles. Prisms are normally named based on the shape of the two parallel faces.  For example, a prism with two parallel square faces would be known as a “square based prism” or sometimes just “square prism”.
