Both of them were sold equally. (246)
I do not think this is the correct answer
Answer:
37 1/8
Step-by-step explanation:
The problem probably assumes direct variation
y=kx
IF so, then plug in the values and solve for k
27=k(8)
k = 27/8
y= (27/8)x. Now let x = 11
y = (27/8)11 = 27(11)/8 = 37.125 = 37 1/8
y = 37 1/8
the problem is making some assumption about the relation between x and y. The simplest assumption that's likely is direct variation, that x and y are linearly related. The graph is a straight line through the origin with slope = 27/8
Try sketching the cardboard piece labeling each side. when folded, the height of the box is x, the length is now (13 - 2x), the width is now (6 - 2x) after cutting out the squares from each corner.
volume = length*width*height
V(x) = x(13 - 2x)(6 - 2x)
