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.

When asked to find a number one-tenth as large as another number, what operation would you use? What about when asked to find a
kherson [118]

Apply division by 10 when one tenth of a number is required and apply multiplication by 10 when 10 times of a number is required.

<u>Solution:</u>

Need to determine what operation is required to get one-tenth of a number and 10 times of a number

To get one tenth of a number, divide the number by 10.

For example to get one – tenth of 100, divide it by 10, we get 10 as a result.

\frac{1}{10} \times 100 = 10

To get ten times of a number, multiply the number by 10

For example 10 times of 10 = 10 x 10 = 100

Hence apply division by 10 when one tenth of a number is required and apply multiplication by 10 when 10 times of a number is required.

Help on area of composite figures
balandron [24]
 break it up into simpler shapes. See the photo.
There is:
trapezoid
A = 0.5(3.2+6.5)4.5
= 21.825

triangle
A = 0.5(2.7)4.5
= 6.075

rectangle
A = 1.8(4.5)
= 8.1

Total Area = 21.825 + 6.075 + 8.1
= 36

Simplify sin(3pi minus x)
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

sinx

Step-by-step explanation:

hello :

note :

for all x in ℝ :   1) sin(x+2π) = sinx        2)  sin(π-x) = sinx

in this exercice :

3π - x = 2π+(π - x)

sin(3π - x) = sin(2π +(π - x)) =sin(π-x) = sinx
