So 16=heads
18=tails
after you add some tails
18+x

ratio of heads to tails is 1:1.5
heads=16, didn't change
tails=18+x

so
1:1.5=16:18+x
fractionify
1/1.5=16/(18+x)
1/1.5=2/3
2/3=16/(18+x)
mutiply both sides by (3)(18+x)
2(18+x)=3(16)
36+2x=48
subtract 36 from both sides
2x=12
divide 2
x=6

6 tails added


total=heads+tails
heads=16
tails=18+6=24
total=16+24
total=40



6 tails added
40 total coins

stepan [7]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the surface area of the box formular : S = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh

When l : length. w: with and h: hight

As we often considered strange, you can always multiply a whole number by a whole number and always get a whole number, and there is no decimal number about the 3 dementions like the boxes you have been describing so far. So It is impossible.
