Answer: 5. The second box required more material to make.

6. A company saves about $84.94 by choosing to make fifty boxes of the smaller box in comparison to fifty boxes of the larger box.

Step-by-step explanation:

5.  To solve this problem you need to find the volume of the boxes.

Volume of the first box.

v= 8 * 6.25 * 10.5

v= 525  

Second box volume

9 * 5.5 * 11.75 = 581.625

Which means the second box required more material to make because it has the greatest volume.

6. To solve this you have to multiply the volume of small and large boxes by 50 the multiply it by 0.03.

525 * 50 = 26250 * 0.03 = 785.5

581.625 *50 = 29081.25 * 0.03= 872.4375

872.4375 - 785.5  = 84.9375 which is about $84.94.

The first time a census was taken in Esinville, the population was 12,621. Each year after that, the population was about 6% hig
Sedbober [7]
Step-by-step
Population was 12.621 when it was measured

Next year it rose by 6%, so add that 6% to 100% and multiply with population measured

12.621 × (100%+6%) = 12.621 × 106% = 13.379,24

Since a man cant be 0,24, we count that as +1

13.379,24 = 13.379 + 1 = 13.380

That was for a year after measurement, now let's calculate for another year
Now, add those 6% to a new population number

13.380 × (100%+6%) = 13.380 × 106% = 14.182,8

since 0,8 isn't a man, instead we add again +1

14.182,8 = 14.182 + 1 = 14.183

now let's do it for another year after last, by adding those 6% to a newest population number

14.183 × (100%+6%) = 14.183 × 106% = 15.033,98

round it again to +1, since 0.98 isn't a man

15.033,98 = 15.033 + 1 = 15.034

that is it, now graph is in the picture.

. A recipe for cookies calls for 2/3 of a cup of sugar per batch of cookies. Elena used 5 and 1/3 cups of sugar to make multiple
Cerrena [4.2K]
Answer: 8 batches
Step-by-step explanation:
To get the number of batches she made, we can just use proportion to solve it. But first, we need to convert 5 1/3 to improper fraction
5 1/3 = 16/3
Then we can now use the proportion to solve
2/3 cups = 1 batch
16/3 cups = x (note:5 1/3=16/3)
cross multiply
2/3 × x = 16 /3
2x/ 3 = 16/3
we need to make x the subject of the formula, to do that we will multiply each side of the equation by 3/2
2/3 × 3/2 x = 16/3 × 3/2
6x /6 = 48 / 6
x = 8
Therefore she made 8 batches of cookies.
