Why does it take 3 copies of 1/6 to show the same amount as 1 copy of 1/2?

You can solve this by putting the number of copies in the top part of the fraction. If you replace the one in the top part of 1/6 with 3, you get the fraction 3/6. Half of six is three and half of two is one, so both fractions are equal. You can test this be dividing the 3 in the top by 3 and the 6 in the bottom by three. Your result will be 1/2. Although there are three times ad many copies, each copy is three times as small, so it balances out.

From a thin piece of cardboard 40 in by 40 in, square corners are cut out so that the sides can be folded up to make a box. what
lutik1710 [3]
The dimensions of the square base after cutting the corners will be (40-2x). The depth of the box will be x, so its volume is given by
  V = x(40-2x)²

You can differentiate this to get
  V' = 12x² -320x -1600
Setting this to zero and factoring gives
  (3x-20)(x-20) = 0
The appropriate choice of solutions is
  x = 20/3 = 6 2/3

The dimensions of the box of maximum volume are
  26 2/3 in square by 6 2/3 in deep

The maximum volume is
  (80/3 in)²(20/3 in) = 4740 20/27 in³

Triangle LMN similar to triangle OPQ find the measure of side PQ round your answer to the nearest 10th if necessary
sergejj [24]

*see attachement for the triangles given

Answer:

PQ = 6.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Corresponding sides of similar shapes or figures are proportional to each other. Since ∆LMN ~ ∆OPQ, the ratio of their corresponding sides would therefore be equal. Thus:

LN/OQ = MN/PQ

LN = 5

OQ = 17

MN = 2

PQ = ?

Plug in the values

5/17 = 2/PQ

Cross multiply

5*PQ = 2*17

5*PQ = 34

PQ = 34/5

PQ = 6.8
