Answer:
School needs to collect at least 144 box tops each day to meet their goal.
Step-by-step explanation:
The total requirement of box tops = 2,000
The number of box tops they have already received = 872
So, the box tops left = Total number required- Number of tops received
=2,000 - 872
= 1,128 box tops are left so far.
Number of days left = 8
So, number of minimum tops needed each day = 
= 
Hence, they need to collect at least 144 box tops each day to meet their goal.

Step-by-step explanation:
1) x³ - 64 = 0
x³ = 64
x = 4
2) x³(x² + 8x - 20) = 0
x³(x² + 10x - 2x - 20) = 0
x³(x(x + 10) - 2(x + 10)) = 0
x³(x + 10)(x - 2) = 0
x = 0, 2, -10
3) x³ - 3x² - 10x = 0
x(x² - 3x - 10) = 0
x(x² - 5x + 2x - 10) = 0
x(x(x - 5) + 2(x - 5)) = 0
x(x - 5)(x + 2) = 0
x = 0, 5, -2
Answer: 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Feom the question, we are informed that students are making ornaments and each takes 1/2 of a piece of Bristol board and that they go to the cupboard and find 1 1/2 pieces of Bristol board.
The number of ornaments that they can make will be calculated by dividing 1 1/2 by 1/2. This will be:
= 1 1/2 ÷ 1/2
= 3/2 ÷ 1/2
= 3/2 × 2/1
= 3
They can make 3 ornaments
