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.

Therefore, Bella's shoe is less than one yard.

Hope this helps! :)

How to multiply and divide integers
Artyom0805 [142]

You multiply or divide integers just as you do whole numbers, except you must keep track of the signs. To multiply or divide signed integers, always multiply or divide the absolute values and use these rules to determine the sign of the answer.

<span>
When you multiply two integers with the same signs, the result is always positive. Just multiply the absolute values and make the answer positive.</span>

<span>Positive x positive = positive 
Negative x negative = positive</span>

<span>When you multiply two integers with different signs, the result is always negative. Just multiply the absolute values and make the answer negative.</span>

<span>Positive x negative = negative
Negative x positive = negative</span>

<span>When you divide two integers with the same sign, the result is always positive. Just divide the absolute values and make the answer positive.</span>

<span>Positive ÷ positive = positive
Negative ÷ negative = positive</span>

<span>When you divide two integers with different signs, the result is always negative. Just divide the absolute values and make the answer negative.</span>

<span>Positive ÷ negative = negative
Negative ÷ positive = negative</span>
