If the company used rectangular prisms it would take 40 boxes (2400/60) to hold 2,400 pencils which would cost $20 (40 times 0.50). If they used cylindrical containers, they would need 30 containers (2400/80) for a total of $22.50 (30*0.75).

To minimize the cost the company should go with rectangular prisms as they are the most cost effective.

First, work out how many minutes are in two hours.

2 hours = 120 minutes.

Multiply 2/3 by 120

2/3 × 120 = 240/3

Simplify the the fraction

A toll bridge charges $1.00 for passenger cars and $2.25 for other vehicles. Suppose that during daytime hours, 60% of all vehic
lora16 [44]

Answer:

Total revenue = 13.5 + 9 = $22.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The toll charges $1.00 for passenger cars and $2.25 for other vehicles. During daytime hours  60% of all the vehicles are passenger vehicles.

A particular daytime period 15 vehicle crossed the bridge. Recall that during daytime period, 60% of all the vehicles are passenger vehicles . Therefore,

Passenger vehicles = 60% of 15

Passenger vehicles = 60/100 × 15

Passenger vehicles = 900/100

Passenger vehicles = 9

9 of the vehicles are passenger vehicle and the charges for passenger cars is $1.00. other vehicle is $2.25.

revenue for passenger cars = 1 × 9 = $9

revenue for other vehicles = 2.25 × 6 = $13.5

Total revenue = 13.5 + 9 = $22.5

Determine whether the series is convergent or divergent by expressing Sn as a telescoping sum. If it is convergent, find its sum
Inessa05 [86]
<span> i'm going to be slightly extra careful in showing each step. specific, ln [n / (n+a million) ]= ln n - ln(n+a million). So, we've sum(n=a million to infinity) ln [n / (n+a million) ] = lim(ok--> infinity) sum(n=a million to ok) ln [n / (n+a million) ] = lim(ok--> infinity) sum(n=a million to ok) [ln n - ln(n+a million)] = lim(ok--> infinity) (ln a million - ln 2) + (ln 2 - ln 3) + ... + (ln ok - ln(ok+a million)) = lim(ok--> infinity) (ln a million - ln(ok+a million)), for the reason that fairly much all the words cancel one yet another. Now, ln a million = 0 and lim(ok--> infinity) ln(ok+a million) is countless. So, the sum diverges to -infinity. IM NOT COMPLETELY SURE
