(a+b+c)/2. this is your answer. if it had the numbers i would solve it fully, but it only has variables.
V=LWH
h=10
V=360
360=LW10
divide both sides by 10
36=LW
try some values
ok so if we get L=1 and W=36, that is the same box as L=36 and W=1
so
L,W
36,1
18,2
12,3
9,4
6,6
5 of them
answer is 5 different boxes
dunno what the 'compare volume' is
What does x equal? In order to find the relationship between x and y we need to know both values at a given instance. For example, if x = 10 while y = 20/3, then we know that you = 20x/30 or 2x/3.
Possible procedures:
1). peanut, peanut
2). peanut, cashew
3). peanut, pecan
4). cashew, peanut
5). cashew, cashew
6). cashew, pecan
7). pecan, peanut
8). pecan, cashew
9). pecan, pecan.
Nine (9) possible procedures.
But ...
(2) and (4) produce the same final result.
(3) and (7) produce the same final result.
(6) and (8) produce the same final result.
So there are only <em><u>six (6)</u></em> possible different outcomes.
Please mark me brainless :)
