Answer:

V (max)  = 2 ft³

and x side of the base is  x  =  0,5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:  See annex ( two different cubes)

We have a square piece of cardboard of  3 inches wide

Let  x be lenght of side to cut in each corner

Then the base of the (future cube) is    3  -  2x,  and the area is  

( 3 - 2x )²

And  the height   is x  Then volume of the cube as a function of x is:

V(x)  =  ( 3 - 2x )² *x   or       V(x)  =    ( 9 + 4x² - 12x )*x

V(x)  =  4x³  -  12x²  + 9x

Taking derivatives on both sides of the equation

V´(x)  =  12x² - 24x  + 9

V´(x)  =  0       12x² - 24x  + 9  =  0   simplifying   4x² - 8x  + 3  =  0

Second degree equation solving for x

x₁,₂ =  [ 24 ± √( 576) - 432  /24

x₁,₂ =  [24 ±√144 ]/24

x₁,₂ = ( 24 ± 12) /24         x₁  =  1.5 feet        x₂  = 0,5 feet

Of these two values we have to dismiss x₁  because if  x = 1.5 we don´t have a cube ( 0 height )

Then we take x  = 0,5  feet

And

V (max)  =  (2)²*0,5   =  4*0,5

V (max)  = 2 ft³

Kipish [7]

Unit walking rate in miles per hour = 5 2/3 / 2 2/3 = 17/3 / 8/3 = 17/3 x 3/8 = 17/8 = 2 1/8 miles per hour.

Unit walking rate in hours per mile = 1/ 17/8 = 8/17 hours per mile.
