The answer would be 17/50. You just divide the percent by 100, then simplify
Answer:
Multiplying by 5 isolates the x on one side of the equation
Step-by-step explanation:
This is so you can solve for the variable x. By isolating you get the get the variable on its own so you know what the varible itself is equal to, which in this case is 75.
Answer:
C) 52 in^3
Step-by-step explanation:
The first is to determine the formula of the volume of the box, which would be the following:
V = height * length * width
Knowing that we have a rectangular piece we will determine the maximum volume, we will double a distance x (which will be the height) in the width and length of the piece, therefore as it is on both sides, the length and width are defined from the Following way:
length = 10 - 2 * x
width = 8 - 2 * x
height = x
Now we calculate the volume:
V = x * (10-2 * x) * (8-2 * x)
To determine the maximum volume we will give values to x in order to see how it behaves:
Let x = 2.5
V = (5) * (3) * (2.5) = 37.5
Let x = 2
V = (6) * (4) * (2) = 48
Let x = 1.5
V = (7) * (5) * (1.5) = 52.5
Let x = 1
V = (8) * (6) * (1) = 48
Let x = 0.5
V = (9) * (7) * (0.5) = 31.5
It can be seen that the greatest volume is obtained when the height is equal to 1.5 and its volume is 52.5 in ^ 3
