Answer:

2 : 3

Step-by-step explanation:

bananas to apples = 8 : 12

simplify by dividing both values by highest common factor of 4:

8 ÷ 4 : 12 ÷ 4 = 2 : 3

36 red beads, 49 green and 76 blue beads are to be packed into packets, each containing 3 red, 5 green and 7 blue beads respecti

lakkis [162]

9 packets.

36 divided by 3 = 12
49 divided by 5 = 9.8
76 divided by 7 = 10.8

Maximum packets that can be obtained is 9 packets because only 9 packets with 5 green beads each can be packaged.

a carpenter has been asked to build an open box with a sqaure base. the sides of the box will cost $3 per m^2 and the base will

slamgirl [31]

<h2>Dimension of box is 2 m x 2 m x 1.33 m</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a be base side and h be the height.

Volume of box, V = a²h

The sides of the box will cost $3 per m² and the base will cost $4 per m². Cost for making is $48.

That is

4a² + 3 x 4 x a x h = 48

4a² + 12 a x h = 48

a² + 3 ah = 12

$h=\frac{12-a^2}{3a}$

So volume is

$V=a^2\times \frac{12-a^2}{3a}=4a-\frac{a^3}{3}$

At maximum volume we have derivative is zero,

$dV=4da-3\times \frac{a^2}{3}da\\\\0=4-a^2\\\\a=\pm 2$

Negative side is not possible, hence side of square base is 2m.

Substituting in a² + 3 ah = 12

2² + 3 x 2 x h = 12

h = 1.33 m

Dimension of box is 2 m x 2 m x 1.33 m
