In this question, you have to form the equation given the formula of the volume : L x W x D
L = W+5
W = W
D = W-1

(W+5)(W)(W-1) = 20
(W^2+5W)(W-1) = 20
W^3+4W^2-5W-20 = 0

Get the roots by factoring it out.
<span>(w +4) *(w +2.236) *(w -2.236)
</span>
So the roots are: -4, -2.236, 2.236.
Since we're talking about dimensions, let's use the positive root..

L = 7.24
W = 2.24
D = 1.24

It takes 36 nails to weigh one pound. How many nails would it take to weigh 7 wholes and 2/3 pounds?
o-na [289]
36 * 7  gives you the number of nails in the whole pounds
36 * 2/3 gives you the fraction part

7 * 36 = 252
2/3 * 36 = 24

Total nails = 252 + 24 = 276 nails

Britany has a bag with 2 mint sticks, 4 jelly treats, and 14 fruit tart chews. If she eats one piece every 9 minutes, what is th
zheka24 [161]
That "9 minutes" doesn't affect the outcome!

How many pieces of candy are in the bag at the beginning?  How many of those are "fruit tart chews?"  Write a fraction involving these 2 counts.  Remember that Britany immediately eats what she draws from the bag, so the 2nd time around, there are only 19 pieces, not 20.  What is the prob. that she will pick a jelly treat on her second draw?
Because these experiments are independent, you can find the joint probability by multiplying the 2 probabilities together.  Please show your work.
