Total number of hours she schduled to play the game = 3 hours.
Let us convert mixed fraction into improper fraction
Duration of each round = .
In order to find the number of rounds Nicole can play, we need to divide total number of hours by duration of each round.
÷
Converting division sign into multiplication flips the second fraction.
Crossing out 12 by 4, we get 3 on the top of second fraction.
Because problem is about number of rounds.
So, total number of round would be 5.
The maximum volume of the box is 40√(10/27) cu in.
Here we see that volume is to be maximized
The surface area of the box is 40 sq in
Since the top lid is open, the surface area will be
lb + 2lh + 2bh = 40
Now, the length is equal to the breadth.
Let them be x in
Hence,
x² + 2xh + 2xh = 40
or, 4xh = 40 - x²
or, h = 10/x - x/4
Let f(x) = volume of the box
= lbh
Hence,
f(x) = x²(10/x - x/4)
= 10x - x³/4
differentiating with respect to x and equating it to 0 gives us
f'(x) = 10 - 3x²/4 = 0
or, 3x²/4 = 10
or, x² = 40/3
Hence x will be equal to 2√(10/3)
Now to check whether this value of x will give us the max volume, we will find
f"(2√(10/3))
f"(x) = -3x/2
hence,
f"(2√(10/3)) = -3√(10/3)
Since the above value is negative, volume is maximum for x = 2√(10/3)
Hence volume
= 10 X 2√(10/3) - [2√(10/3)]³/4
= 2√(10/3) [10 - 10/3]
= 2√(10/3) X 20/3
= 40√(10/27) cu in
