V = l * w * h
240 = 20* h
divide both sides by 20
12 = h
height = 12 inches

Answer: 12 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the volume of a rectangular prism is given by :-

$\text{Volume}=\text{Base area}\times \text{height}$

Since, the volume of the rectangular box = $240\ in^3$

The base area of the box = $20\ in^2$

Let h be the height of the box.

Substitute these values in the above formula , we get

$\text{240}=20\times h\\\\\Rightarrow\ h=\frac{240}{20}=12\ in.$

Hence, the height of the box = 12 in.

A hairstylist schedules 1/4 hours to trim a customer's hair and 1/6 hours to style the customer's hair. The hairstylist plans to

34kurt

A hair stylists works ¼ to trim customer’s hair
=> 1/6 to style customer’s hair
=> 1/6 + ¼
Find the least common multiple of both denominator:
=> 1/6 + ¼ = 10/24
Simplify
=> 5/12
Now, he works 3 1/3 hour each day in 5 days
=> 3 1/3 x 5
=> 16 ½ hours in 5 days
Now, divide
=> 16 ½ divided by 5/12
=> 39 ; approximately 39 customer in 5 days can a hairstylist accommodate.

A city’s population has been growing linearly. In 2008, the population was 28,200. By 2012, the population was 36,800. Assuming

Lelu [443]

The linear function that models the relationship is P = 28,200 + 1950t.

<h3>What is the linear function that models the relationship?</h3>

A linear function is a function that has a single variable raised to the power of 1. An example is x + 2

The first step is to determine the rate of increase in the population:

Rate of increase = (population in 2012 - population in 2008) / number of years

(36.000 - 28,200) / 4 = 1950

P = 28,200 + 1950t
