Answer:

1.28 m

Step-by-step explanation:

48/30 = x/.8

cross multiply

30x = 48(.8)

30x = 38.4

x = 38.4/30

x = 1.28 m

What is the standard form polynomial representing the volume of this shipping container?
harina [27]

Answer:

Volume = (24x⁵ + 78x⁴ - 147x³ - 624x² - 360x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Container given in the picture is in the shape of a cuboid.

And volume of a cuboid is measured by the expression,

Volume of a cuboid = Length × width × height

Now substitute the measure of the container's dimensions given in the picture

Volume = (4x² + 3x)(x²- 8)(6x + 15)

             = [(4x² + 3x)(x²- 8)](6x + 15)

             = [4x²(x² - 8) + 3x(x² - 8)](6x + 15)

             = (4x⁴ - 32x² + 3x³ - 24x)(6x + 15)

             = (4x⁴ + 3x³ - 32x² - 24x)(6x + 15)

             = 6x(4x⁴ + 3x³ - 32x² - 24x) + 15(4x⁴ + 3x³ - 32x² - 24x)

             = 24x⁵+ 18x⁴ - 192x³ - 144x² + 60x⁴ + 45x³ - 480x² - 360x

             = 24x⁵ + 78x⁴ - 147x³ - 624x² - 360x

Which is the better buy a 3 pound ham for $5.70 or 5 pounds for $8.75
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

The larger ham is the better buy.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine the better buy, divide both of the prices by their weight to get the price per pound of ham.

5.70/3 = 1.90 per lb

8.75/5 = 1.75 per lb

Therefore the 5 pound of ham is a better buy.
