Step-by-step explanation:

let ratio be 4x and 3x

sum : 490$

4x+3x = 490

7x=490

x=490/7

Hence x = 70

first daughter gets = 4x =4 x 70 = 280

second daughter gets =3x = 3x 70 = 210

first daugter gets the larger share

On moving day, Jorge needs to rent a truck. The length of the cargo space is 12 ft, and the height is 1 ft less than the width.

Answer:

12ft $\times$ 7ft $\times$ 6ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that truck can hold = 504 $ft^{3}$ i.e.

Volume, V = 504 $ft^{3}$

Length of cargo space = 12 ft

Let width of cargo space = w ft

As per question statement:

Let height of cargo space = (w-1) ft

To find: The Dimensions of Cargo Space

Formula for Volume of Cargo Space:

V = Length $\times$ Width $\times$ Height

Putting the given values and conditions:

504 = 12 $\times$ $w \times (w-1)$

$\Rightarrow w(w-1) = \dfrac{504}{12}\\\Rightarrow w^{2} -w = 42\\\Rightarrow w^{2} -w - 42=0\\\Rightarrow w^{2} -7w +6w -42 =0\\\Rightarrow w(w -7) +6(w -7) =0\\\Rightarrow (w -7)(w+6) = 0\\\Rightarrow w =7, -6$

Dimensions can not be negative, so width, w = 7 ft

Height = (w-1) = 7-1 = 6 ft

So, the dimensions are 12ft $\times$ 7ft $\times$ 6ft.
