Answer:

2.41

Step-by-step explanation:

Two negative signs are equal to a plus sign.

Ex: 1 - -1 is 2 because 1 - 1 is 0 and then another reverse would be 2

So:

-2.08 + 4.49 = Positive

4.49 - 2.08 = 2.41

A food company originally sells cereal in boxes with dimensions 25 cm by 14 cm by 10 cm. To make more profit, the company decrea

hjlf

Answer:

1.75 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the dimensions of the box as 25 cm by 14 cm by 10 cm.

Now, to increase the profit, the dimensions of the box by 'x' cm.

Thus, the new dimensions are (25-x) cm by (14-x) cm by (10-x) cm.

Further, it is given that the volume of the new box is 2,208 $cm^{3}$

As, Volume of the box = Length × Breadth × Height

i.e. 2208 = (25-x) × (14-x) × (10-x)

i.e. $2208 = (25-x) \times (140-24x-x^{2})$

i.e. $2208=x^{3}-x^{2}-740x+3500$

i.e. $x^{3}-x^{2}-740x+1292=0$

On solving this cubic equations, we get that, the solutions are x = 27.6, x = 1.75 and x = 26.8.

Since, the dimensions 25 cm by 14 cm by 10 cm are reduced by x cm.

Thus, if x = 27.6 or x = 26.8, then (10-x) = -17.6 or -16.8, which cannot be possible. So, x = 1.75 cm.

Hence, the dimensions were decreased by 1.75 cm.
