Answer:

There were 7 small boxes and 14 large boxes shipped.

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem may be solved by a system of equations:

I am going to say that:

x is the number of small boxes used

y is the number of large boxes used

There were twice as many large boxes shipped as small boxes shipped

This means that y = 2x

Each small box of paper weighs 45 pounds and each large box of paper weighs 80 pounds. The total weight of all boxes was 1435 pounds.

This means that 45x + 80y =1435

So we have to solve the following system:

y=2x

45x + 80y =1435

45x + 80 (2x) = 1435

205x = 1435

x= 1435/205

x=7

y=2x= 2(7) = 14

There were 7 small boxes and 14 large boxes shipped.

Find the dimensions of the rectangle with area 289 square inches that has minimum perimeter, and then find the minimum perimeter
nalin [4]
 <span>To minimize the perimeter you should always have a square. 
sqrt(289) = 17 
The dimensions should be 17 X 17 

To see , try starting at length 1, and gradually increase the length. 
The height decreases at a faster rate than the length increases, up until you reach a square. 

Or if you want to use algebra, Say the width is 17-x 
Then the length is 289/(17-x) 

Now, this is bigger than 17+x, as shown here: 
289/(17-x) > 17+x 
289 > 289 - x^2 
which is true. 
so the perimeter would be bigger than 2 * (17- x + 17 + x) = 2 * (2 * 17) = 4 * 17 

Again, the dimensions should be a square. 17 X 17.</span>

Terry drove 310 miles in 5 hours at a constant speed. How long would it take him to drive 403 miles at the same speed?
NeX [460]
Well, first, find-out how fast he was going the first time, by dividing 310 by 5. This gives you 62 mph. Now, divide 403 miles by 62 miles per hour in order to find-out how long it would take him to drive 403 miles, if he is constantly doing 62 mph. Your final answer is six-and-a-half hours.
