A paper company needs to ship paper to a large printing business. The paper will be shipped in small boxes and large boxes. The

volume of each small box is 10 cubic feet and the volume of each large box is 22 cubic feet. A total of 21 boxes of paper were shipped with a combined volume of 342 cubic feet. Determine the number of small boxes shipped and the number of large boxes shipped.

10 small boxes and 11 large boxes were shipped.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total boxes shipped = 21

Total volume of shipped boxes = 342 cubic feet

Volume of each small box = 10 cubic feet

Volume of each large box = 22 cubic feet

Let,

Number of small boxes = x

Number of large boxes = y

According to given statement;

x+y=21 Eqn 1

10x+22y=342 Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 10

$10(x+y=21)\\10x+10y=210\ \ \ Eqn\ 3$

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2

$(10x+22y)-(10x+10y)=342-210\\10x+22y-10x-10y=132\\12y=132$

Dividing both sides by 12

$\frac{12y}{12}=\frac{132}{12}\\y=11$

Putting y=11 in Eqn 1

$x+11=21\\x=21-11\\x=10$

10 small boxes and 11 large boxes were shipped.

<span>The one-way ANOVA or one – way analysis of variance is used to know whether there are statistically substantial dissimilarities among the averages of three or more independent sets. It compares the means between the sets that is being examined whether any of those means are statistically pointedly dissimilar from each other. If it does have a significant result, then the alternative hypothesis can be accepted and that would mean that two sets are pointedly different from each other. The symbol, ∑ is a summation sign that drills us to sum the elements of a sequence. The variable of summation is represented by an index that is placed under the summation sign and is often embodied by i. The index is always equal to 1 and adopt values beginning with the value on the right hand side of the equation and finishing it with the value over head the summation sign.</span>

0.2.0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1....<br> Arithmetic or geometric

Basile [38]

Arithmetic sequences have a common difference between consecutive terms.

Geometric sequences have a common ratio between consecutive terms.

Let's compute the differences and ratios between consecutive terms:

Differences:

$0.4-0.2 = 0.2,\quad 0.6-0.4=0.2,\quad 0.8-0.6=0.2,\quad 1-0.8=0.2$

Ratios:

$\dfrac{0.4}{0.2}=2,\quad \dfrac{0.6}{0.4} = 1.5,\quad \dfrac{0.8}{0.6} = 1.33\ldots, \quad\dfrac{1}{0.8}=1.25$

So, as you can see, the differences between consecutive terms are constant, whereas ratios vary.

So, this is an arithmetic sequence.

Due in 5 mins!! FIND THE MISSING LENGTHS!!!!!

meriva

Since the shape is a square the sides are equal. Then we need to find x such that x * x = 169.
Sqrt(169) = 13
So x = 13
