Question

Celine's Cereal Company is launching a new brand of cereal and she is considering two different sizes for the base of the boxes. Box 1: The length is 3 times the width. Box 2: The length is 1 less than 4 times the width. The dimensions of the base of Box 1 are: width: x; length: 3 width: x; length: x + 3 width: x; length: x – 3 width: x; length: 3x

Answer 1

The dimensions of the base of Box 1 are x by 3x.

The base area of Box 1 is:

3x^2

Answer 2

Answer:

D. Width = x and Length = 3x

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that,

The length of Box 1 is 3 times the width of Box 1.    ..................(1)

Let the width of Box 1 = x

So, from (1), we have,

Length of Box 1 = 3 × Width of Box 1

i.e. Length of Box 1 = 3x

Thus, the dimensions of Box 1 are : Width = x and Length = 3x

Hence, option D is correct.
