A homemade loaf of bread turns out to be a perfect cube. Five slices of bread, each 0.6 inch thick, are cut from one end of the

loaf. The remainder of the loaf now has a volume of 235 cubic inches. What were the dimensions of the original loaf?

A cube has all sides of equal length.

So let the side be x

that will be length = width = height = x  

Now, when we cut the loaf into 5 equal slices, the length and height of the slices are the same as the original loaf.  But the width will become less with each slicing. Here the width corresponds to the thickness of the slices.

For each slice the dimensions are -

Length = x

height = x

width = 0.6

Volume of the original loaf is x³.

Volume of  5 slices is 5(x * x * 0.6).  

Volume that is left after the cutting the slices is 235 inch³.

So, equation of the volume is=

x³ - 5(0.6x²) = 235

Solve for x using this equation.

x³ - 3x² = 235

x³ - 3x² - 235 = 0

Using a graph calculator to find the roots, we get

x = 7.35

Hence the dimensions of the original loaf is 7.35 inches for each side.

Please find attached the graph.

Answer:

3.56*10^13

Step-by-step explanation:

8.9* 10^4  * 4*10^8

Multiply the number out front and then the exponents

8.9 * 4  * 10^4 * 10^8

When we multiply powers when the bases are the same, we add the exponents

35.6 * 10^(4+8)

35.6 *10^12

But this is not in proper scientific notation.  Only one digit before the decimal

Move the decimal one place to the left, that means we need to add 1 to the exponent

3.56 *10^(12+1)

3.56 * 10^13

a pharmacist has 10 and 90 iodine solutions on hand. how many liters of each iodine solution will be required to produce 8 liter
Westkost [7]
1 litre of 10% solution contains 100mL of iodine
1 litre of 90% solution contains 900mL of iodine
Mixing them will produce 2 litres of solution containing 1000mL of iodine which is 50% iodine.
To produce 8 litres of 50% iodine they can mix 4 litres of 10% and 4 litres of 90%

A crew must repave a road that is 3/8 miles long. They can repave 1/48 miles per hour. How long will it take the crew to repave
Anika [276]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3/8 miles long, 1/48 miles per hour

3/8 and 1/48 can have a common denominator, so you make 3/8 into 18/48 by multiplying both the numerator and denmoinator by 6.

18/48 miles long

1/48 per hour

divide: 18/48 divided by 1/48, which turns into 18/48 x 48/1 which equals 18

18 hours

What is the scale factor very urgent
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

The scale factor of the triangle if of 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

All you have to do is use figure A and either multiply or divide by a number to get figure B. In this case, the straight vertical side of Figure A is 6 units, and the straight vertical side of Figure B is 2. So 6 divided by 2 is 3. That means that the scale factor of the triangle is of 3. The triangle contracted it's size by 3.
