By cutting each corner we have that the resulting dimensions are:
27 - 2x
18 - 2x
Height = x
Therefore, the volume of the box in terms of the variable x, is given by:
V (x) = (x) * (27-2x) * (18-2x)
Answer:
The volume of the box in terms of x is:
(27-x) (18-x) x
The lowest term is 
.
Solution:
Given expression is 
<u>To reduce this term to the lowest term:</u>
Multiply the numerator and denominator.
Now, divide the numerator and denominator by the greatest common factor.
Here 150 and 8 both have common factor 2.
So, divide numerator and denominator by 2.
Hence the lowest term is .
12+8+8=28
8 students are wearing a blue shirt so the probability is 8/28
Answer: Choice A, -1540 feet
----------------------------------
Explanation:
Multiply the rate (44 ft per sec) by the number of seconds (35) to get 44*35 = 1540
The answer will be negative to indicate that the altitude has gone down. If you put in a positive change, then the altitude would go up. So that's why the answer is choice A
Note: when you multiply 44 ft/sec by 35 sec, the "second" units cancel out leaving just feet.
Another note: if you want, think of the 44 as -44 to indicate that the plane is decreasing at a rate of 44 ft/sec
