Answer:
a) Smallest line that can be made with each color = 300 cm
b) Total strips should be used = 47 strips
c) Total strips used of blue color = 20
Total strips used of green color = 15
Total strips used of red color = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Given - To decorate a wall, there are 15 cm blue, 20 cm green, and 25 cm red strips of paper. On the wall you want to build three lines of the same size, one of each color and without cutting any strip.
To find - a) How long is the smallest line that can be made with each color?
b) How many strips should be used?
c) How many of each color?
Proof -
a)
For the smallest line that can be made with each color, we just have to find the lcm (least common multiple) of the 3 srtips.
Firstly,
Decompose the 3 strips to its prime factors , we get
15 = 3×5
20 = 2²×5
25 = 5²
So,
The Lcm(15, 20, 25) = 3×2²×5² = 3×4×25 = 300
∴ we get
Smallest line that can be made with each color = 300 cm
b)
Now,
Total strips used = 300 cm
Strips used by 15 cm blue = = 20 strips
Strips used by 20 cm green = = 15 strips
Strips used by 25 cm red = = 12 strips
So,
Total strips should be used = 20 + 15 + 12 = 47 strips
c)
Total strips used of blue color = 20
Total strips used of green color = 15
Total strips used of red color = 12
Answer:
The edge length of the shipping container is 14 in.
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume enclosed by a cube is the number of cubic units that will exactly fill a cube.
To find the volume of a cube we need to recall that a cube has all edges the same length. The volume of a cube is found by multiplying the length of any edge by itself twice. Or as a formula:
where, <em>s</em> is the length of any edge of the cube.
To find the edge length of the shipping container we use the fact that the volume of a cube shaped shipping container is 2744 in³ and the above formula.
