Answer:

The ratio of the number of female teachers to the number of male teachers is 18:5.

Step-by-step explanation:

First: Review how to write a ratio:

To write a ratio, take the two quantities, and put them on both sides of a colon (:). So, our two quantities our 18 and 5. But, they need to be in a specific order:

There are 18 female teachers and 5 male teachers at Ashley's school. What is the ratio of the number of female teachers to the number of male teachers?

Since, they mentioned the number of female teachers first, we put the quantity of female teachers first. So we will write 18 first and 5 after. So, the ratio is 18:5.

a rectangular box with two sqaure opposite ends is to hold 8000 cubic inches. find the dimensions of the cheapest box if tge rec
AveGali [126]

Answer:

the dimensions of the box that minimizes the cost are 5 in x 40 in x 40 in

Step-by-step explanation:

since the box has a volume V

V= x*y*z = b=8000 in³

since y=z (square face)

V= x*y² = b=8000 in³

and the cost function is

cost = cost of the square faces *  area of square faces + cost of top and bottom * top and bottom areas + cost of the rectangular sides * area of the rectangular sides

C = a* 2*y² +  a* 2*x*y + 15*a* 2*x*y =  2*a* y² +  32*a*x*y

to find the optimum we can use Lagrange multipliers , then we have 3  simultaneous equations:

x*y*z = b

Cx - λ*Vx = 0 → 32*a*y -  λ*y² = 0 → y*( 32*a-λ*y) = 0 → y=32*a/λ

Cy - λ*Vy = 0  → (4*a*y + 32*a*x) - λ*2*x*y = 0

4*a*32/λ  + 32*a*x - λ*2*x*32*a/λ = 0

128*a² /λ +  32*a*x - 64*a*x = 0

32*a*x = 128*a² /λ

x  = 4*a/λ

x*y² = b

4*a/λ * (32*a/λ)² = b

(a/λ)³ *4096 =  8000 m³

(a/λ) = ∛ ( 8000 m³/4096 ) = 5/4 in

then

x  = 4*a/λ = 4*5/4 in = 5 in

y=32*a/λ = 32*5/4 in = 40 in

then the box has dimensions 5 in x 40 in x 40 in
