4. A shipping company is considering which of these two boxes to use for shipping. Each box costs the same amount of money to sh
ip, so the one with greater volume is the more cost-effective and the better one to use. Which box is the more cost-effective for the company to use? Show all your work.
PLEASE HELP QUICK #Finals
For a box shown in the images, to see the more cost-effective option, one has to simply compare which of the two boxes has the large volume. This can be done by multiplying the length, width, and the height to find the volume. This is shown below:
Box A:
Volume = 2 * 3 * 4 = 24 ft^3
Box B:
Volume = 2 * 5 * 2.5 = 25 ft^3
Therefore, the second box is the more cost-effective of the two.
No, the combination lock is not appropriate. This is so as the repetition is allowed, neither permutation nor the combination rule holds true or valid.
