The total weight of candies is unknown. Let x = the total weight of candies.

"One student ate 3/20 of all candies and another 1.2 lb":

The first student ate (3/20)x plus 1.2 lb which is 0.15x + 1.2.

"The second student ate 3/5 of the candies and the remaining 0.3 lb."

The second student ate (3/5)x and 0.3 lb which is 0.6x + 0.3.

Altogether the 2 students ate 0.15x + 1.2 + 0.6x + 0.3.

That was all the amount of candies, so that sum equals x.

0.15x + 1.2 + 0.6x + 0.3 = x

Now we solve the equation for x to find what the total amount of candies was.

0.75x + 1.5 = x

-0.25x = -1.5

x = 6

The total amount of candies was 6 lb.

The first student ate 0.15x + 1.2 = 0.15(6) + 1.2 = 0.9 + 1.2 = 2.1, or 2.1 lb of candies.

The second student ate 0.6x + 0.3 = 0.6(6) + 0.3 = 3.6 + 0.3 = 3.9, or 3.9 lb of candies.

Answer: The first student ate 2.1 lb of candies, and the second student ate 3.9 lb of candies.

How much total wrapping paper does it take to wrap two gifts: one with the dimensions of 6 cm by 10 cm by 9.5 cm and the other w
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

gift 1:

424 cm^2

570 cm^3

gift 2:

1420.5 cm^2

3622.5 cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to calculate the surface area of these gifts in order to know the amount of wrapping paper.

The formula for the surface area is:

A = 2*ab + 2*ac + 2*bc

Gift 1:

A = 2*6*10 + 2*6*9.5 + 2*10*9.5

A = 424 cm^2

That means that gift 1 needs 424 cm^2 of wrapping paper

Gift 2:

A = 2*14*17.25 + 2*14*15 + 2*17.25*15

A = 1420.5 cm^2

That means that gift 2 needs 1420.5 cm^2 of wrapping paper

Now, to calculate the cubic centimeters of packaging peanuts, we calculate the volume, the volume has as formula:

V = a*b*c  

Gift 1:

V = 6*10*9.5  

V = 570 cm^3

This means that gift 1 needs 570 cm^3 of packaging peanuts

Gift 2:

V = 14*17.25*15  

V = 3622.5 cm^3

That means that gift 2 needs 3622.5 cm^3 of packaging peanuts
