A box's volume is equal to 600 cubic

Mathematics
1 answer:
olga2289 [7]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Length = x

width = x - 7

height = x - 10

volume = 600 in^3

Volume = L * w * h

600 = x * (x - 7)*(x - 10)

600 = x * (x^2 - 17x + 70)

600 = x^3 - 17x^2 + 70x

x^3 - 17x^2 + 70x - 600 = 0

There is a genius somewhere that could solve this using algebra. The rest of us have 2 choices. We can graph it (see below) or we could use a program that solves it for us. I'll do both for you.

a = 1

b  = - 17

c = 70

d = - 600

There is only 1 real solution: x = 15

L = 15

w = 8

h = 5

That has to be one of the ugliest graphs made. It does into the hundreds of thousands and it still looks like a straight line. Trust me. It's not.

Ruby plans to make 3 quilts per month until she makes 15 quilts. She figures this will take 1/5 month. Which is NOT a reason why
pashok25 [27]

Answer: c)She should have multiplied 15 by 3 instead of dividing.


Step-by-step explanation:

Number of quilts Ruby plan to make in one month= 3

which means if Ruby makes more than 3 quilts, the time will be more than 1 month.

To find the number of months to make 15 quilts, she need to divide 15 by 3

Thus, the number of months to make 15 quilts=5

Her answer was 1/5 which was absolutely wrong as if she is making 3 quilt in 1 month then in 1/5  month she would make fewer than 3 quilts.

She divides 3 by 15 instead of 15 by 3, thus but the unit is quilts not months.

Thus the only wrong option is c)She should have multiplied 15 by 3 instead of dividing.
