Answer: Option C)1 over 15 minus 1 over x equals 1 over 20
Explanation:
Since, Micah can fill a box with books in 15 minutes.
Therefore, the work done by Micah in one minute= 1/15
Also, Sydney takes the books out puts them on a shelf.
And the times taken by Micah when Sydney is also taking the books outside from the self= 20 minutes
Therefore, the work done by Micah in one minute when Sydney taking books out of the box= 1/20
Let Sydney alone takes x minutes to take books outsides the shelf.
Then, work done by Sydney in one minute=1/x
Thus, the work done by Sydney( by taking books out of the box)= the work done by Micah - work done by Micah and Sydney simultaneously= 1/15-1/20
⇒1/x=1/15-1/20
⇒1/15-1/20=1/x
⇒1/15-1/x=1/20 is the required expression.
Therefore, Option C is correct.
volume of the box is 675 cubic inches
A machine produces open boxes using square sheets of plastic.
It is a square sheet so length and width are same
Lets assume length as x so width is also x
The machine cuts equal-sized squares measuring 3 inches on a side from each corner of the sheet.
After turning up the sides the height of the box becomes 3 inches
We know the volume of a box formula
Volume = Length * width * height
We know length is x , width is x and height = 3
So V = x * x * 3
Given volume = 675 cubic inches


Divide by 3 on both sides

Now we take square root on both sides
x = 15
the length of one side of the open box is 15 inches.
I actually think that it is 50
The slope is -1/2. When it’s in the equation like that, the slope is always the number that has the letter X next to it.
