Answer:

The box is 7.5 in long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the total surface area of the sides of this box (neglecting the ends).

If the base is 3" by 3" and the length of the box is 6", then the total surface area (without ends) is 4 times 3" by x, or  12x in².  80% of this "lateral surface area" is 0.80(12x in²), or 9.60x in° and this 9.60x in² represents the surface area covered b y the label.  That label surface area is 4(3 in by 6 in), or 72 in²

Equating 9.60x in² and 72 in² and solving for x yields  x = (72 in²) / (9.60 in²:

x = 7.5 in

The box is 7.5 in long.

Three students need to produce a prime factorization of 48. Donna states that the first factors in the tree should be 6 and 8. L
Gennadij [26K]
If we start with 6 and 8, we can break 6 up into 2*3 and 8 into 2*2*2, thus getting a prime factorization of 2*2*2*2*3, or 2^4 *3.

If we begin with 4 and 12, 4 breaks into 2*2 and 12 into 2*2*3, so the prime factorization of 48 is still 2^4 *3.

The starting factors do not matter, since the answer comes out to be the same. There is exactly one correct answer- it doesn't matter how it's found.

Hope this helps! :)
