A cube has all sides of equal length.
So let the side be x
that will be length = width = height = x
Now, when we cut the loaf into 5 equal slices, the length and height of the slices are the same as the original loaf. But the width will become less with each slicing. Here the width corresponds to the thickness of the slices.
For each slice the dimensions are -
Length = x
height = x
width = 0.6
Volume of the original loaf is x³.
Volume of 5 slices is 5(x * x * 0.6).
Volume that is left after the cutting the slices is 235 inch³.
So, equation of the volume is=
x³ - 5(0.6x²) = 235
Solve for x using this equation.
x³ - 3x² = 235
x³ - 3x² - 235 = 0
Using a graph calculator to find the roots, we get
x = 7.35
Hence the dimensions of the original loaf is 7.35 inches for each side.

Answer: The correct option is (A) < .
Step-by-step explanation: We are given to select the correct mathematical symbol that would best fill in the blank to compare the following two real numbers :
First , we need to find the values of both the real numbers in decimal form.
We have
Since, so we get
Thus, the correct mathematical symbol is <.
Option (A) is CORRECT.
