1/6 is already a fraction you can't reduce it anymore
The volume of a box like this is found by multiplying the length times the width times the height. We are told that the length is 8 more inches than the width, so the width is w and the length is w + 8. If we cut away 3 square inches from each corner, the height when we fold up those corners is going to be 3. The volume is given as 27, so our formula looks like this:

. When we do that multiplication, we have

. We need to solve for w so we can then solve for h. Move the 27 over and set the quadratic equal to 0.

. We can then factor out a 3 to make the job easier:

. Now we can factor to solve for w. The 2 numbers that add up to 8 and multiply to -9 are 9 and -1. So (w+9) = 0, (w-1) = 0, or 3 = 0. Of course 3 doesn't equal 0, so that's out. w + 9 = 0 so w = -9. w - 1 = 0 so w = 1. There are 2 things in math that can never EVER be negative and those are time and distance/length. So -9 is out. That means that w = 1. But don't forget that there was 6 inches cut off each side, so the width is 1 + 3 + 3 which is 7. The length is w + 8 which means that the length is 7 + 8 or 15. Those are the dimensions of the rectangle before it was cut.

Answer:
<em>P(B) = 0.46</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Probability</u>
The complementary event of a given event A is defined as "not A" or the event that A does not occur.
For example, if A is defined as 'getting a job', then the complement of A is 'not getting a job'.
Event A and its complementary event (call it B) must satisfy:
P(A) + P(B) = 1
If we know P(A)=0.54, then
P(B) = 1 - P(A)
P(B) = 1 - 0.54
P(B) = 0.46
Answer:
The unit rate is<u> 1.25 seconds per jump</u>.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Will can jump rope at a rate of 8 jumps for every 10 seconds.
Now, to find the unit rate:
So, by dividing we get the unit rate.
At the rate of 8 jumps Will takes 10 seconds.
Thus, for the rate of 1 jump he will take = 
Therefore, the unit rate is 1.25 seconds per jump.
