There are 7 boxes stacked on the floor in the math department supply closet. Each box has a height of 10 inches or 8 inches. The
height of the stack of 7 boxes is 5 feet. How many boxes in the stack are 8 inches in height?
1 answer:
Answer:
5 of the 7 boxes are 8 inches in height
Step-by-step explanation:
Mathematically;
1 ft = 12 inches
So, 5 ft will measure 5 * 12 = 60 inches
So from what we have ,
We want to combine 8 and 10 inches to give 60 inches total
Let the number of 10 inches be x and the number of 8 inches be y
Mathematically;
x + y = 7 •••••(i)
10x + 8y = 60 ••••(ii)
From equation i, x = 7-y
Put this in equation ii
10(7-y) + 8y = 60
70-10y + 8y = 60
70-60 = 10y-8y
2y = 10
y = 10/2
y = 5
