Answer:

Height of the box = 11.5 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h be the height of the box.

Assuming the volume of the Box is 258.75\ in^3.

Given:

Length = Height - 4 = h - 4

Width = 3 in

We need to find the height of the box.

Solution:

We know that the volume of the box.

Volume = Length\times height\times width

Substitute all given value in above formula.

258.75 = (h-4)\times h\times 3

Rewrite the equation as:

258.75 = 3h(h-4)

258.75 = 3h^2-12h

3h^2-12h-258.75=0

whole equation divided by 3.

h^2-4h-86.25=0

Use quadratic formula with a = 1, b = -4,c=-86.25

h=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{(b)^{2}-4ac}}{2a}

Put these a, b and c value in above equation.

h=\frac{-(-4)\pm \sqrt{(-4)^{2}-4(1)(-86.25)}}{2(1)}

h=\frac{4\pm \sqrt{16+345}}{2}

h=\frac{4\pm \sqrt{361}}{2}

h=\frac{4\pm 19}{2}

For positive sign

h=\frac{23}{2}  

h = 11.5 in

For negative sign

h=\frac{-15}{2}

h = -7.5

We take positive value of h.

Therefore, the height of the box h = 11.5 in

A 27 1⁄2-mile stretch of road needs repaving. A company bid on the repaving project, saying they would repave 2 1⁄4 miles of roa
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

The correct answer is 12 and a half or 13 weeks.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert the values to decimals.

27 1/2 = 27.5

2 1/4 = 2.25

Then, divide miles of road that need to be repaved by the number of miles that are repaved per week.

27.5/2.25 = 12.2222222222222

Round that up to 12 and a half weeks or 13 weeks.
