Answer:

184 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Width, w = 6 inches

Length, l = 10 inches

Height, h = 2 inches

To obtain how much wrapping paper is needed ; we take the surface area of the box

Surface area = 2(lw + lh + wh)

Surface area = 2((6*10) + (6*2) + (10*2))

Surface area = 2(60 + 12 + 20)

Surface area = 2(92)

Surface area = 184 in²

The amount of wrapping paper needed = 184 in²

A scientist is studying the population growth rates of two different species of rats in the same laboratory conditions. The popu

Korolek [52]

Since, population of species A is represented by : $P=2^{x} +19$

Let us find the population of species A, at the end of week 1:

i.e., x = 1

i.e., $P(1)=2^{1} +19$

i.e., $P(1)=2 +19$

i.e., $P(1)=21$

Also, since population of species B is represented by : $P=3^{x} +18$

Let us find the population of species B, at the end of week 1:

i.e., x = 1

i.e., $P(1)=3^{1} +18$

i.e., $P(1)=3 +18$

i.e., $P(1)=21$

Thus, at the end of 1 week, species A and species B will have the same population.

Hence, option D is correct.

The surface area of a rectangular prism is 32 square inches. The volume of the prism is 12 cubic inches. The sum of all edge len

Goryan [66]

Answer:

36 cubic inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length, width and height of the rectangular prism are a, b, c respectively.

So, surface area, 2(ab + bc + ca) = 32 {Given} ............ (1)

Volume, abc = 12 {Given} ............ (2)

And, the sum of all the edges, 4(a + b + c) = 28 {Given} .......... (3)

Now, if the length width and height are increased by 1 inch, then the volume of the prism will be = (a + 1)(b + 1)(c + 1)

= abc + (ab + bc + ca) + (a + b + c) + 1

= 12 + 16 + 7 + 1 {From equations (1), (2) and (3)}

= 36 cubic inches. (Answer)

A bottle of la belle bœuf contains 3/8 ounces of perfume. How many ounces of perfume would 4 1/2 bottles contain?

dusya [7]

ANSWER

$1 \frac{11}{16} ounces$

EXPLANATION

It was given that,a bottle of la belle bœuf contains 3/8 ounces of perfume.

We want to find how many ounces of perfume would 4 1/2 bottles contain.

If 1 bottle contains 3/8 ounces;

Then 4½ bottles should contain more ounces.

If more less divides.

4½ bottles contain

$\frac{4 \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{3}{8} }{1}$

$= \frac{27}{16}$

=1.6875 ounces.
