Prism volume = width*length*height
56 1/4 = 3 3/4 * 7 1/2 * h
56.25=3.75*7.5*h
h=(56.25)/(3.75*7.5)=2
So that the missing dimension (height) is 2 ft
So we have lengths a and b and are given:
2a+2b = 66 => a+b = 33 => a= 33-b
a*b = 272
plug in one into the other:
(33-b)b = 272 => -b^2 +33b - 272 = 0
Can be factored as (b-16)(b-17) = 0, if you don't "see" this immediately, use the well known abc formula to find b.
So a=16 and b=17 or vice versa.
As mentioned mean is b . you multiply it with 8 so the data would 8b.
To do this, you'll have to get loris and doris to the same amount of time, we can already tell loris makes 40 bracelets in 100 minutes but we are still missing 20 minutes, so we got to do some math(Ofc we do its mathematics) if you divide 50 by 20 you'll get 2.5 which is how many minutes it takes to make a bracelet. So now we can go back to that missing 20 minutes, if you divide 20 by 2.5, you'll get 8. So in 2 hours loris makes 48 bracelets(20 + 20(50 hours each)=40 + 8(the missing 20 minutes) = 48) But here is the tricky part it says per an hour, so we need to reduce both by half, so loris makes 24 bracelets an hour and doris makes 22 bracelets an hour so loris makes 2 more bracelets and hour than doris... hope i've helped!
