Henry can type 3500 words in 70 minutes.
Colin can type 1500 in 30 minutes.
Brian can type 2200 words in 40 minutes.
To find:
The person who types at the fastest rate of words per minute.
Solution:
We know that,
Using this formula, we get
Since 55>50, therefore Brian's types at the fastest rate of words per minute.

The volume of a box like this is found by multiplying the length times the width times the height. We are told that the length is 8 more inches than the width, so the width is w and the length is w + 8. If we cut away 3 square inches from each corner, the height when we fold up those corners is going to be 3. The volume is given as 27, so our formula looks like this: 
. When we do that multiplication, we have 
. We need to solve for w so we can then solve for h. Move the 27 over and set the quadratic equal to 0. 
. We can then factor out a 3 to make the job easier: 
. Now we can factor to solve for w. The 2 numbers that add up to 8 and multiply to -9 are 9 and -1. So (w+9) = 0, (w-1) = 0, or 3 = 0. Of course 3 doesn't equal 0, so that's out. w + 9 = 0 so w = -9. w - 1 = 0 so w = 1. There are 2 things in math that can never EVER be negative and those are time and distance/length. So -9 is out. That means that w = 1. But don't forget that there was 6 inches cut off each side, so the width is 1 + 3 + 3 which is 7. The length is w + 8 which means that the length is 7 + 8 or 15. Those are the dimensions of the rectangle before it was cut.
