Answer:

The maximum distance to the nearest kilometer between Westford and Centerville is 111.43 km.

Step-by-step explanation:

Local train stats:

Rate = 60 km/h

Distance = x km

Time = x/60 hours

Express train stats:

Rate = 80 km/h

Distance = (195-x) km

Time = (195-x)/80 hours

Now we will equate both the times.

x/60 =(195-x)/80

x/3= (195-x)/4

4x= 585-3x

7x= 585

x = 83.57 km

195-x=195-83.57= 111.43 km

Hence, the maximum distance to the nearest kilometer between Westford and Centerville is 111.43 km.

  • where p is the original amount.
  • R is the amount of percentage compounded
  • N is amount of times compounded per year.
  • T is how long the interest last.

P is 400,00p

T is 12% or 0.12

N is 4 since it is compounded quarterly

T is 5.

Plug the values in

Answer:

  something with a volume of 64 ft³, such as a box 4 ft × 4 ft × 4 ft

The volume of the smaller box is (1 ft)³ = 1 ft³. So 64 of them require a box with a volume of 64 ft³.

The most compact of such boxes is one that is cube-shaped itself. Such a box would have dimensions of ...

  ∛(64 ft³) = 4 ft

A box that is 4 ft × 4 ft × 4 ft would hold the 64 smaller boxes.
