5/8 = 0.625
To turn a decimal into a fraction, move the decimal point two spaces to the right.
0.625 = 62.5%
62.5% of the pieces are used for the background
The volume of the box as a polynomial in the variable x is x(12 - 2x)(7 - 2x)
<h3>How to determine the volume?</h3>
The complete question is added as an attachment
From the attached image, we have:
Length = 12 - 2x
Width = 7 - 2x
Height = x
The volume is calculated as:
Volume = Length * Width * Height
Substitute the known values in the above equation
Volume = (12 - 2x) * (7 - 2x) * x
This gives
Volume = x(12 - 2x)(7 - 2x)
Hence, the volume of the box as a polynomial in the variable x is x(12 - 2x)(7 - 2x)

Answer:
look at explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve all of these questions you just need to scale. While scaling you can divide or multiply.
1.
(divide by 4 to get unit rate)
unit rate = 
2. If it takes one hour to travel 40 miles, then we don't have to scale or anything. We know
, the answer is...
"It'll only take one hour to travel 40 miles. This is correct because the unit rate is
. "
3. Knowing that the constant speed of the plane is
, we can scale then add half of the unit rate to get our answer.
x 3 =
800 x 3 = 2400
then add half of unit rate which is
= 400
so, our answer is 
4.
<--- ( divided by 2)
( multiplied x 2.5) ---> 
To get an easier way to find the answer, if possible you can scale back farther than the 1 hour mark.
Elmer would take 2 and a half hours to ride 15 km.
5. The boys speed is
. All we need to do is divide by 2.
= 4
Answer:
x=1.3288 or -1.1288
Step-by-step explanation:
Given 
Subtract 4x from both sides

Since we can factor out 2 from whole equation, let's factor out 2.

Divide with 2 on both sides

We got the quadratic equation, we can solve for x using quadratic formula.
