Possible dimension of a box with a volume of 100 cubic cm
10 x 10 x 1 = 100
10 x 5 x 2 = 100
5 x 5 x 4 = 100

Surface area:
10 x 10 x 1 dimensions: 
10 x 10 = 100 x 2 = 200 sq.cm
10 x 1 = 10 x 4 = 40 sq. cm
240 sq. cm * $0.05 / 100 sq.cm = $0.12 per box
0.12 per box * 100 boxes = $12

10 x 5 x 2 dimension
10 x 5 = 50 x 2 = 100 sq. cm
10 x 2 = 20 x 2 = 40 sq. cm
5 x 2 = 10 x 2 = 20 sq. cm
160 sq. cm * $0.05/100 sq. cm = $0. 08 per box
0.08 per box * 100 boxes = $8

5 x 5 x 4 dimension
5 x 5 = 25 x 2 = 50 sq. cm
5 x 4 = 20 x 4 = 80 sq. cm
130 sq. cm * $0.05/100 sq. cm = $0.065 per box
0.065 per box * 100 boxes = $6.50

The best dimension to use to have the least cost to make 100 boxes is 5 x 5 x 4. It only costs $6.50 to make 100 boxes.

What is greater 1/3 or 1/8
Ludmilka [50]
1/3 is greater. Picture a pie with nothing cut into it. Then, you cut 3 equal pieces out of it, leaving no pie remaining. So, if you take 1 piece, you have 2 pieces that you didn't take. So if you do the exact same thing, but you cut <em>8 </em>pieces out of the pie and you take 1 piece, there are still 7 pieces remaining. So 1/8 is a smaller part of the pie than the 1/3, since you are cutting the pie into 8 identical pieces while with 1/3 you are cutting the same sized pie into 3 pieces. Sorry if I was confusing, just ask me if you want an easier-to-understand explanation. Also, if you pick a "brainliest" answer, it actually <em>gives </em>you points.
