Answer:
p=2
Step-by-step explanation:
Attached is a screenshot of spreadsheet used to do this problem.
You will see the excel functions used for each column. The average score is highlighted in blue.
1) we calculate the volume of the first carton:
volume=length x width x height
volume=3 ft * 2 ft * 2 ft=12 ft³
Therefore:
A machine can fill 12 ft³ in 3 seconds.
2) we calculate the volume of the second carton.
volume=length x width x heigth
volume=4 ft * 5 ft * 6 ft=120 ft³
3) we calculate the time that the machine needs for fill the second carton with packing material by the rule of three.
12 ft³---------------------3 seconds
120 ft³-------------------- x
x=(120 ft³ * 3 seconds) / 12 ft³=30 seconds.
answer: 30 seconds.
