Answer: The maximum length that can be used is 56 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Width of package = 14 inch

Height of package = 12 inch

Let the length of package be 'l'.

Combined length and girth i.e. distance around = 108 inches.

So, According to question, we get that

l+2(w+h)=108\\\\l+2(14+12)=108\\\\l+2\times 26=108\\\\l+52=108\\\\l=108-52\\\\l=56\ inches

Hence, the maximum length that can be used is 56 inches.

The distance travelled in (m) by a ball dropped from a height are 128/9,32/3,8,6,...
Allushta [10]

Answer: it will trave 56.89 meters before coming to rest.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a geometric progression since the distance travelled (height) by the ball is reducing by a constant ratio, r. Since the number of times that the ball will bounce is infinite, then we would apply the formula for determining the sum of the terms in a geometric progression to infinity which is expressed as

S = a/(1 - r)

where

S = sum of the distance travelled by the ball

a = initial distance or height of the ball

r = common ratio

From the information given,

a = 128/9

r = (32/3)/(128/9) = 0.75

Therefore,

S = (128/9)/(1 - 0.75) = 56.89 meters

Toyota campy sold 20,600 in 2008. percent change is 1.2%. how many sold in 2009?
Artyom0805 [142]
So 20600=100%
in 2009=1.2% change from 100%

not specific whether percent change is up or down so solve fo r1.2%
d
find 1.2% of 100
percent means parts out of 1001.2%=1.2/100=0.12/10=0.012/1=0.012

'of' means multiply
20600 times 0.012=276.2

the change is 276.2

20600-276.2=20352.8
20600+276.2=20847.2
you must round down since you can't sell 0.2 or 0.8 of a car

the sold either 20,352 or 20,847 cars in 2009

10. The lengths of the electrical extension cords in a workshop are 6 ft, 8 ft, 25 ft, 8 ft, 12 ft, 50 ft, and 25 ft. What are t
Nadya [2.5K]
6 ft= 6x12in= 72 in.
8 ft= 8x12in= 96 in.
12ft=12x12in=144 in
25ft=25x12in=300 in
50ft=50x12in=600 in

72 in, 96 in, 96 in, 144 in, 300 in, 300 in, 600 in
Mean= (72+96+96+144+300+300+600)÷7
1608÷7 = 229.7 inches
Median=middle value in set = 144 inches
Mode= value(s) tha occur most often = 96 inches and 300 inches
Range=difference of largest and smallest values in set = 600-72= 528
