Answer:

$\%Percent = 17.14\%$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Carbohydrate = 250\ g$

$Protein = 60\ g$

$Fat = 40\ g$

Required

Determine the percentage of protein

First, we need to calculate the total:

$Total = Carbohydrate + Protein + Fats$

$Total = 250\ g + 60\ g + 40\ g$

$Total = 350\ g$

Percentage of protein is calculated as thus:

$\%Percent = \frac{Protein * 100\%}{Total}$

$\%Percent = \frac{60 * 100\%}{350}$

$\%Percent = \frac{6000\%}{350}$

$\%Percent = 17.14\%$

Please find the attachment.

Let x represent the side length of the squares.

We have been given that an open box is made from an 8 by ten-inch rectangular piece of cardboard by cutting squares from each corner and folding up the sides. We are asked to find the volume of the box.

The side of box will be $8-x-x=8-2x$ and $10-x-x=10-2x$ .

The height of the box will be $x$ .

The volume of box will be area of base times height.

$\text{Volume of box}=(8-2x)(10-2x)\cdot x$

Now we will use FOIL to simplify our expression.

$\text{Volume of box}=(80-16x-20x+4x^2)\cdot x$

$\text{Volume of box}=(80-36x+4x^2)\cdot x$

Now we will distribute x.

$\text{Volume of box}=80x-36x^2+4x^3$

$V(x)=80x-36x^2+4x^3$

Therefore, the volume of the box would be $V(x)=80x-36x^2+4x^3$ .

Mrs. Bhatia's closet consists of two sections, each shaped like a rectangular prism. She plans to buy mothballs to keep the moth

AveGali [126]

Answer:

6.5 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for closet

Required

Determine the number of boxes needed to fill the closet

First, we calculate the volume of the two section.

According to the attachment

The first section has the following dimension:

$Width = 5ft$

$Length = 4ft$

$Height = 8ft$

The second has the following dimension:

$Width = 3ft$ ---- see the last label at the top

$Length = 2ft$ --- This is calculated by subtracting the length of the first section (4ft) from the total length of the closet (6ft) i.e. 6ft - 4ft

$Height = 8ft$

So: The volume of the closet is:

$Volume = W_1 * L_1 * H_1 + W_2 * L_2 * H_2$

$Volume = 5ft * 4ft * 8ft + 3ft * 2ft * 8ft$

$Volume = 160ft^3 + 48ft^3$

$Volume = 208ft^3$

The number of box needed is then calculated by dividing the volume of the closet (208ft^3) by the volume of each box (32ft^3)

$Boxes = \frac{208ft^3}{32ft^3}$

$Boxes= \frac{208}{32}$

$Boxes = 6.5$
