There are several information's already given in the question. Lat us first write them down and then go for solving the problem.

Total number of pupil <span>in Secondary one = 225
Let us assume the number of pupil who do not pay the school fees through GIRO scheme = x
Then
Number </span>of pupil who pay the school fees through GIRO scheme = 14x
So
x + 14x = 225
15x = 225
x = 15
From the above deduction, it can be concluded that 15 pupil did not join the scheme.

A container in the shape of a square-based prism has a volume of 2744 cm'. What dimensions give the
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

The dimensions that give the minimum surface area are:

Length = 14cm

width = 14cm

height = 14cm

And the minimum surface is:

S = 1,176 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

A regular rectangular prism has the measures: length L, width W and height H.

The volume of this prism is:

V = L*W*H

The surface of this prism is:

S = 2*(L*W + H*L + H*W)

If the base of the prism is a square, then we have L = W

Then the equations become:

V = L*L*H = L^2*H

S = 2*(L^2 + 2*H*L)

We know that the volume of the figure is 2744 cm^3

Then:

V = 2744 cm^3 = H*(L^2)

In this equation, we can isolate H.

H = (2744 cm^3)/(L^2)

Now we can replace this on the surface equation:

S = 2*(L^2 + 2*L* (2744 cm^3)/(L^2))

S = 2*L^2 + 4(2744 cm^3)/L

Now we want to minimize the surface area, then we need to find the zeros of the first derivative of S.

S' = 2*(2*L) - 4*(2744 cm^3)/L^2

This is equal to zero when:

0 = 2*(2*L) - 4*(2744 cm^3)/L^2

0 = 4*L*L^2 - 4*(2744 cm^3)

4*(2744 cm^3) = 4*L^3

2744 cm^3 = L^3

∛(2744 cm^3) = L = 14cm

Then the length of the base that minimizes the surface is L = 14.

Then we have:

H = (2744 cm^3)/(L^2) = (2744 cm^3)/(14cm)^2 = 14cm

Then the surface is:

S = 2*(L^2 + 2*L*H) = 2*( (14cm)^2 + 2*(14cm)*(14cm)) = 1,176 cm^2

11/21 as a decimal and a percent
pochemuha

11/21 written as a decimal would be 0.52381 and in percent, it would be 52.381%.

To solve percent, since the total or 1/1 is 100%, we have to remember that the answer is less than 100%. So, we move 2 decimal places right to make it into percent. Then, the answer is 52.381.

To solve percent, you would do 100/21. Then, you would get 4.7619047619. You multiply that by 11 and get 52.381. But, you have to move 2 places left since fractions are tens, hundreds. So, you would get 0.52381.
