When driving in England, a U.S. tourist puts gasoline in his car and pays 1.35 European pounds per liter (pounds per liter). The

price of gasoline in his U.S. hometown is $3.39 per gallon. Suppose the exchange rate is 0.705 pounds for $1.50. Is gasoline more expensive in England or in the U.S.?

Answer: England

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

England: 1.35 euro/liter

$\text{U.S:}\quad \dfrac{\$3.39}{gallon}\times \dfrac{0.705\ euro}{\$1.50}\times \dfrac{1\ gallon}{3.785\ liter}=\dfrac{0.42\ euro}{liter}$

1.35 > 0.42

England > US

Find the dimensions of the open rectangular box of maximum volume that can be made from a sheet of cardboard 21 in. by 12 in. by

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

Dimension of the box is $16.1\times 7.1\times 2.45$

The volume of the box is 280.05 in³.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The open rectangular box of maximum volume that can be made from a sheet of cardboard 21 in. by 12 in. by cutting congruent squares from the corners and folding up the sides.

To find : The dimensions and the volume of the box?

Solution :

Let h be the height of the box which is the side length of a corner square.

According to question,

A sheet of cardboard 21 in. by 12 in. by cutting congruent squares from the corners and folding up the sides.

The length of the box is $L=21-2h$

The width of the box is $W=12-2h$

The volume of the box is $V=L\times W\times H$

$V=(21-2h)\times (12-2h)\times h$

$V=(21-2h)\times (12h-2h^2)$

$V=252h-42h^2-24h^2+4h^3$

$V=4h^3-66h^2+252h$

To maximize the volume we find derivative of volume and put it to zero.

$V'=12h^2-132h+252$

$0=12h^2-132h+252$

Solving by quadratic formula,

$h=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

$h=\frac{-(-132)\pm\sqrt{132^2-4(12)(252)}}{2(12)}$

$h=\frac{132\pm72.99}{24}$

$h=2.45,8.54$

Now, substitute the value of h in the volume,

$V=4h^3-66h^2+252h$

When, h=2.45

$V=4(2.45)^3-66(2.45)^2+252(2.45)$

$V\approx 280.05$

When, h=8.54

$V=4(8.54)^3-66(8.54)^2+252(8.54)$

$V\approx -170.06$

Rejecting the negative volume as it is not possible.

Therefore, The volume of the box is 280.05 in³.

The dimension of the box is

The height of the box is h=2.45

The length of the box is $L=21-2(2.45)=16.1$

The width of the box is $W=12-2(2.45)=7.1$

So, Dimension of the box is $16.1\times 7.1\times 2.45$

A van travels 150 miles on 6 gallons of gas. How many gallons will it need to travel 325 miles?

shtirl [24]

<h3>Answer: C) 13 gallons</h3>

============================================================

Work Shown:

(150 miles)/(6 gallons) = (325 miles)/(x gallons)

150/6 = 325/x

150*x = 6*325 .... see note below

150x = 1950

x = 1950/150 .... divide both sides by 150

x = 13 gallons is the final answer

-----------

Note: in this step, I cross multiplied. The general template for cross multiplication is that we go from A/B = C/D to A*D = B*C. As the name implies, the "cross" refers to the "X" shape that forms when you multiply the terms.
