L = 2 W
B = L x W = 2 W²
Side Area = 2 W H + 2 L H = 2 H ( W + L ) = 6 H W
V = 2 W² H = 10
H = 5 / W²
Cost = 15 * 2 W² + 9 * 5/W
= 30 W² + 270/ W 
C ` = 60 W - 270 / W² 
= ( 60 W² - 270 ) / W² = 0
60 W² = 270
W ² = 270 : 60
W² = 4.5
W = √ 4.5 = 2.12
Cost (min) = 15 * 2 * 4.5 + 30 / 2.12 = 135 + 14.15 = $149.15
Answer: The cost of materials for the cheapest such container is $149.15.

scoray [572]
To solve this we can make it into an equation, which looks like this

y = 2x (for Rebecca)
y = x + 10 (for Alice)

The we subtract one equation from the other to solve

0 = x - 10
10 = x
x = 10

Now we replace x in whichever equation and we get 20

So, each girl will read 20 books for them to be at the same book.

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

  600 baboons

Step-by-step explanation:

Half the number of marked baboons showed up in the sample, so we expect the sample size to be about half of the total population. 300 is half of 600.

___

Many assumptions are involved in such an experiment and analysis. Not the least of which are the assumptions that the marked baboons end up evenly distributed through the population, and that the sample is a fair sample of the entire population.
