Each rectangular prism box costs the company $0.50, while each cylindrical container costs $0.75. You have to count how many boxes or cylindrical containers the company should buy and what is the total cost in each case.

1. 2,400 : 60 = 40 - the amount of rectangular prism boxes that can contain 2,400 pencils.

$0.50 · 40 = $20 - the total cost if packing in boxes.

2. 2,400 : 80 = 30 - the number of cylindrical containers that can contain 2,400 pencils.

$0.75 · 30 = $22.50 -  the total cost if packing in containers.

Therefore, $20 < $22.50 and the difference is $2.50.

Answer: choice A - The rectangular prism boxes should be used because they will cost the company $2.50 less than using the cylindrical containers.

Car A                               Car B

d=rt                                  d = rt

d = ra * 2.4                        d = rb 4

ra = rb+22

distances are the same so set the equations equal

ra * 2.4 =rb *4

substitue in  for ra

(rb+22) 2.4 =rb *4

distribute

2.4 rb +52.8 = 4 rb

subtract 2.4 rb from each side

52.8 = 1.6 rb

33 = rb

Car b travels at 33 miles per hour

Car a = 33+22

Car a = 55 miles per hour

Please help me! A soup can, shaped like a cylinder, has a diameter of 3.5 inches and a height of 5 inches. Each serving of soup
SpyIntel [72]

The cost for each serving of soup is $0.62

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Diameter =3.5 inches

Radius = 1.75 inches

Height = 5 inches

Each serving of soup = 15 cubic inches

Cost of the can = $1.99

Volume of the can = π(1.75 x 1.75) 5

= (3.14) (3.0625) 5

= 48.08 cubic inches

For 48 cubic inches of soup the cost is $1.99

For 15 cubic inches of soup the coat will be,

Cost = (15x1.99) /48

= $0.62

The cost for each serving of soup is $0.62
