Answer:

The width is 5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is

P = 2(l+w)

Substitute what we know

24 = 2(7+w)

Divide each side by 2

24/2 = 2/2(7+w)

12 = 7+w

Subtract 7 from each side

12-7 = 7+w-7

5 =w

The width is 5 cm

The formula for perimeter = 2 x length  + 2 x width

Fill in the known dimensions:

24 = 2 x 7 + 2 x width

Simplify:

24 = 14  + 2 x width

Subtract 14 from both sides:

10 = 2 x width

Divide both sides by 2:

Width = 5 cm

Answer: Width = 5 cm.

Dovator [93]

Answer: 1 pound of cheese cost $4.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Nola purchased 2.5 pounds of cheese for 10. $50

Her mother purchased 3 pounds of the same cheese for $12.60

If the cost of the cheese varies directly with the number of pounds purchased, it means that the higher the pounds of cheese purchased, the higher the cost

To determine the the cost of 1 pound of cheese, we wound divide the the cheese by the number of pounds bought.

It becomes 10.5/2.5 = 4.2

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:265.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Volume of box=12 m^3

height is 3 times the width

let height, length and breadth be H, L & B

H=3\times B

V=12=L\times B\times H

4=B^2\times L[/tex]

L=\frac{4}{B^2}

Cost of side walls $ 8/m^2

Cost of base $ 12/m^2

Cost of side walls=(2LH+2BH)\cdot 8

Cost of base =12LB

Total cost C=16LH+16BH+12LB

C=48LB+48B^2+12LB

C=\frac{192}{B}+48B^2+\frac{48}{B}

differentiate C w.r.t B to get minimum cost

\frac{\mathrm{d} C}{\mathrm{d} B}=-\frac{192}{B^2}+2\times 48 B-\frac{48}{B^2}

B^3=\frac{240}{2\times 48}

B=1.35 m

H=3\times 1.35=4.07 m

L=2.19 m

C=$ 265.25
