one-gallon jugs of water are shipped in cartons containing 12 jugs. how many cartons are needed for 876 jugs to be shipped?

1 answer:

4 0

My best guess is that 73 cartons are needed. Here's how:

876/12 ( because the jugs are shipped in cartons containing 12) = 73

This is just a guess, I'm sorry if someone proves me wrong, but this is what I have.

The length of a rectangle is 59 inches greater than twice the width. If the diagonal is 2 inches more than the length, find the

Paul [167]

So.. hmm notice the picture here

we know the length is 59 more than twice the width,
twice the width, 2 * w, or 2w
59 more than that
2w + 59

we also know that, whatever that is, the diagonal of it is,
2 more inches than that, or
(2w + 59) + 2

now.. use the pythagorean theorem
$\bf c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \qquad 
\begin{cases}
a=2w+59\\
b=w\\
c=(2w+59)+2\to 2w+61
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
(2w+61)^2=(2w+59)^2+(w)^2
\\ \qquad\qquad \uparrow\qquad \qquad\qquad \qquad \uparrow \\
\textit{expand using binomial theorem, or FOIL}$

you'd end up with a quadratic, after simplifying, solve for "w"

1 gallon = 231 in3, 1 inch = 2.54 cm)

Stella [2.4K]

<span>1 gallon = 231 in
1 inch = 2.54 cm

</span><span>Honestly, I would say it will fill up because if your solving for the amount of centimeters in a gallon then the gallon would fill up. It just makes sense to me, don't know if it's correct because what I did was take the amount of centimeters in a inch and multiply it by the total amount of inches in a gallon.

HOPE THIS HELPS! ^_^

If the price of a cd that normally costs $17.50 was marked up by 8% what is the new cost

Nana76 [90]

CD cost=17.50
Marked up=8%
So 8%of 17.50
8÷100×17.50=1.4
So add the old cd cost to the answer
=17.50+1.4=18.9 is the new cost

one meter equals about 39.37in write a function rule for converting inches into meters. evaluate the function for 59in.

Alecsey [184]

Let x be the number of meters of a given number of inches. The equation that would be useful in the conversion is,
x = n / 39.37
where n is the number of inches. For 59 inches,
x = 59 in / 39.37
Thus, the number of meter is approximately equal to 1.499 meters.
