Jack has 2, Maria has 9, Paul has 5.
The volume formula is V= l x L x H, l=width, L=Length, H= Depth, so
2x3 _ 9x2 + 7x + 6 = l x L x (2x + 1), because H=(2x + 1), so
l x L= (2x3 _ 9x2 + 7x + 6 )/ (2x + 1) = (2x3 _ 9x2 + 7x + 6 ) X [1/(2x + 1)]
case1: l= (2x3 _ 9x2 + 7x + 6 ) or L= 1/(2x + 1), case2: L= (2x3 _ 9x2 + 7x + 6 ) or l= 1/(2x + 1)
the why question:
perhaps there is similarity of value between volume and l, or volume and L
1. Z=4 10-6
2 y= 6 48/8
3. Q= 13 12+1
6 m=15 11+4
7. 21 19+2
8. S=2 3-1
9. C=6 24/4
You can do 12/12 8/8 10/10 3/3 and 2/2 all equal to 6/6 all in different ways.
