Answer:

width = 5 in

length = 5+4=9 in

height = 2(5)= 10 in

Step-by-step explanation:

A gift box has a volume of 450 cubic inches.

Let 'w' be the width of the box

The width of the box is 4 inches less than the length.

length = w+4

The height is twice the width.

height = 2 \cdot width

height = 2w

Volume of box = length times width times height

V=(w+4)(w)(2w)

450=(w+4)(w)(2w)

450=2w^3+8w^2

2w^3+8w^2-450=0

\quad 2\left(w-5\right)\left(w^2+9w+45\right)=0

w-5=0

w=5

\quad\left(w^2+9w+45\right)=0, this gives two complex values

so width = 5

length = 5+4=9

height = 2(5)= 10

What is the value of 2 3/4 ➗ 3/4​
Ivan

Answer:

3 2/3 is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Conversion a mixed number 2 3/

4

to a improper fraction: 2 3/4 = 2 3/

4

= 2 · 4 + 3/

4

= 8 + 3/

4

= 11/

4

To find new numerator:

a) Multiply the whole number 2 by the denominator 4. Whole number 2 equally 2 * 4/

4

= 8/

4

b) Add the answer from previous step 8 to the numerator 3. New numerator is 8 + 3 = 11

c) Write a previous answer (new numerator 11) over the denominator 4.

Two and three quarters is eleven quarters

Divide: 11/

4

: 3/

4

= 11/

4

· 4/

3

= 11 · 4/

4 · 3

= 44/

12

= 4 · 11 /

4 · 3

= 11/

3

Dividing two fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal value of the second fraction. The first sub-step is to find the reciprocal (reverse the numerator and denominator, reciprocal of 3/

4

is 4/

3

) of the second fraction. Next, multiply the two numerators. Then, multiply the two denominators. In the next intermediate step , cancel by a common factor of 4 gives 11/

3

.

so you simplify to get 3 2/3
