Answer:

62.5 \:in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the butter in the cardboard = 31.25 cubic inches

Length of the Molded Square Prism =5 Inches

Let the length of the square cross sectional area = x

Volume of the Prism=x^2l

Since l=5 Inches

5x^2=31.25\\x^2=6.25\\x=2.5\: Inches

Next, we determine the surface area of the New Cardboard box to be made.

Length of the Cardboard Box=5 Inches

Length of the square cross sectional area = 2.5 Inches

Total Surface Area=2(x^2+xl+xl)=2(x^2+2xl)

=2(2.5^2+2(2.5)(5))\\=2(6.25+25)\\=2*31.25\\=62.5 \:in^2

Therefore, 62.5 \:in^2 of cardboard is needed,

terry opened a savings account in December with $132 and saved $27 each month beginning in January the value of terrys account i
liq [111]
Let S be the amount in a savings account. 
Let m be the number of months.

General equation
S = 132 + 27m

Specific question
July is the 7th month of the year including both January and July.
S = 132 + 7*27
S = 132 + 189
S = 321

Reasonableness?
Good question. You could estimate an answer.
Start with 150 dollars and say that you add 25 a month.
7 * 25 = 175
S = 150 + 175 = 325 All of this was done in my head. Since the exact answer obtained using the formula is 321, I think that's pretty reasonable using my estimate is a guide.
