Your iron works has been contracted to design and build a 500-ft3 square-based, open-top, rectangular steel holding tank for a p

aper company. The tank is to be made by welding half-inch-thick stainless steel plates together along their edges. As the production engineer, your job is to find dimensions for the base and height that will make the tank weight as little as possible. What dimensions do you tell the shop to use?

500 cubic feet of 1/2-inch thick stainless steel plates will weigh the same no matter what dimensions are use for area and height of tank.

A 5 foot by 5 foot area 20 feet high (500 cubic feet) will weigh just as much as a  10 foot by 10 foot area 5 feet high (also 500 cubic feet) since you are using the same amount of material for the whole tank. Only possible change in weight of tank is the use of welding material and how evenly and good the welder is at welding stainless steel.

Quickly please im very confused
deff fn [24]

Answer:

A: -16/3

B: 16/3

C: -6

D: -6

E: 6

Step-by-step explanation:

A would be -16/3 because you multiply -2 time 8 which is 116. And the denominator is 3.

B would be 16/3. It is the same as problem A but there are two negatives which make positive.

C is -6. You just divide -18/3.

D is the exact same as C. It just has parenthesis but the answer is still -6.

E is 6 because there are two negatives which make a positive.

I need answers for them three
sergeinik [125]
These are the answers. You subtract 6 from -3 giving you n≥-9. Since n/3 is a fraction, in order to undo it we must multiply it to the other side, giving us n≤-63.

1. n≥-9
3. n≤-63

I hope it helped!
