Answer:

length = 5

width = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

V = lwh

let 'x' = length

let '4+x' = width

9 = height

405 = 9x(4+x)

405 = 36x + 9x²

this is a quadratic equation:  9x² + 36x - 405 = 0

factor out a 9 to get:

9(x² + 4x - 45) = 0

9(x-5)(x+9) = 0

one root is 5 and the other is -9

since distance cannot be negative we use 5 as the length and 9 is the width

Samantha sends her son, Barry, to a preschool center on certain days. The cost of preschool is $45 per day along with a fixed mo
Travka [436]

Answer: Option D

D. 880 = 45d + 70; 18\ days

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the cost of preschool is $ 45 per day plus a monthly fee of $ 70.

We also know that a total of $ 880 was paid last month

To write an equation that represents this situation, let us call "d" the number of days that Barry attends school

So the cost was:

45d + 70 = 880

Now we solve the equation for the variable d

45d= 880-70

d= \frac{810}{45}

d= 18\ days

Therefore answer is the option D

A plant produces 500 units/hour of an item with dimensions of 4” x 6” x 2”. The manager wants to store two weeks of supply in co
mart [117]

Answer:

  564 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

To account for the extra space between units, we can add 2" to every unit dimension and every box dimension to figure the number of units per box.

Doing that, we find the storage box dimensions (for calculating contents) to be ...

  3 ft 2 in × 4 ft 2 in × 2 ft 2 in = 38 in × 50 in × 26 in

and the unit dimensions to be ...

  (4+2)" = 6" × (6+2)" = 8" × (2+2)" = 4"

A spreadsheet can help with the arithmetic to figure how many units will fit in the box in the different ways they can be arranged. (See attached)

When we say the "packing" is "462", we mean the 4" (first) dimension of the unit is aligned with the 3' (first) dimension of the storage box; the 6" (second) dimension of the unit is aligned with the 4' (second) dimension of the storage box; and the 2" (third) dimension of the unit is aligned with the 2' (third) dimension of the storage box. The "packing" numbers identify the unit dimensions, and their order identifies the corresponding dimension of the storage box.

We can see that three of the four allowed packings result in 216 units being stored in a storage box.

If storage boxes are stacked 4 deep in a 9' space, the 2' dimension must be the vertical dimension, and the floor area of each stack of 4 boxes is 3' × 4' = 12 ft². There are 216×4 = 864 units stored in each 12 ft² area.

If we assume that 2 weeks of production are 80 hours of production, then we need to store 80×500 = 40,000 units. At 864 units per 12 ft² of floor space, we need ceiling(40,000/864) = 47 spaces on the floor for storage boxes. That is ...

  47 × 12 ft² = 564 ft²

of warehouse floor space required for storage.

_____

The second attachment shows the top view and side view of units packed in a storage box.
