Each pad of paper cost 3.25. Here is how I found it.
21.75 x 3 = 65.25
75 - 65.25 = 9.75
9.75 / 3 = 3.25
X = 3.25
Is this what you were looking for?
You can do this !
The rectangular prism has
-- length = 10 cm
-- width = 7 cm
-- height = 3 cm.
-- The area of the top and bottom is (length x width) each.
-- The area of the left and right sides is (length x height) each.
-- The area of the front and back is (width x height) each.
There. I just laid out all the schmartz you need to answer this question.
The rest is all simple arithmetic, and you're perfectly capable of turning
the crank and getting the answer. You don't need anybody else to do
that part for you.
Don't forget your units. The area of each flat face is (cm) times (cm),
and that product will be some cm² , for area.
For this case what you need to know is that the original volume of the cookie box is:
V = (w) * (l) * (h)
Where,
w: width
l: long
h: height.
We have then:
V = (w) * (l) * (h) = 48 in ^ 3
The volume of a similar box is:
V = (w * (2/3)) * (l * (2/3)) * (h * (2/3))
We rewrite:
V = ((w) * (l) * (h)) * ((2/3) * (2/3) * (2/3))
V = (w) * (l) * (h) * ((2/3) ^ 3)
V = 48 * ((2/3) ^ 3)
V = 14.22222222 in ^ 3
Answer:
the volume of a similar box that is smaller by a scale factor of 2/3 is:
V = 14.22222222 in ^ 3
