<h3>Stan drinks 12 ounces of water in 1 hour</h3>
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that,
Stan drinks 3/4 of a 8 ounce glass of water in 1/2 of an hour
Which means,
Therefore,
6 ounces is drank in 0.5 hour
We have to find the water he drinks in an hour
Let "x" be the water he drinks in 1 hour
Thus we get,
6 ounce = 0.5 hour
x ounces = 1 hour
This forms a proportion and we can solve the sum by cross multiplying
Thus, he drinks 12 ounces of water in 1 hour
Answer:
Height: 3/2 inches
Length: 12 inches
Width: 4 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x is the side length of the square
The height of the box by cutting squares off :x
- The new length of the cardboard = 15 -2x (because we cut from 4 corners)
- The new width of the cardboard = 7 -2x (because we cut from 4 corners)
The new volume of it is:
V = (15 -2x) (7 -2x) x
<=> V =
To maximum volume, we use the first derivative of the volume
<=>
<=>
<=> 2x -3 = 0 or 6x -35 = 0
<=> x = 3/2 or x = 35/6
To determine which value of x gives a maximum, we evaluate
= 24x -88
- If x = 3/2, we have:
= 24(3/2) -88 = -52
- If x = 35/6, we have:
= 24(35/6) -88 = 52
We choose x = 3/2 to have the maximum volume because the value of x that gives a negative value is maximum.
So the dimensions (in inches) of the box is:
Height: 3/2 inches
Length: 15-2(3/2) = 12 inches
Width: 7 - 2(3/2) = 4 inches
