Answer:

Length = 8 inches

Width = 4 inches

Height = 6 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the box = 192 cubic inches

Volume of a box = length × width × height

Let

Width = x

Length = 2x

Height = x + 2

Volume of a box = length × width × height

192 = 2x * x * (x + 2)

192 = 2x^2 (x + 2)

192 = 2x^3 + 4x^2

Divide through by 2

96 = x^3 + 2x^2

Subtract 96 from both sides

x ^3 + 2x^2 - 96 = 0

Factorise

(x - 4) (x^2 + 6x + 24) = 0

x^2 + 6x + 24 has no real x-value

So,

Divide both sides by (x^2 + 6x + 24).

0 ÷ (x^2 + 6x + 24) = 0

So,

(x - 4) = 0

x = 4

Width = x = 4 inches

Length = 2x

= 2(4)

= 8 inches

Height = x + 2

= 4 + 2

= 6 inches

Check:

Volume of a box = length × width × height

= (8 * 4 * 6) inches

= 192 inches

kozerog [31]

Hello!

First of all, we have a 4/52, or 1/13 chance of selecting a pair. Then, we select 1/3 cards 3 times, so we use this as our other fraction.

\frac{1}{13}\cdot \frac{1}{3}=\frac{1}{39}

Therefore, we have a 1/39 or about 3%.

I hope this helps!

katrin2010 [14]
I believe you’re asking 3 divided by 47, but no it does not terminate, it’s a never ending decimal (irrational)
