Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
7/10 is 0.7
0.7 x 16 yields 11.2
11.2 is also 11 1/5
or 56/5
Answer:
419.25
Step-by-step explanation:
The calculation of the cost of materials for the cheapest such container is shown below:-
We assume
Width = x
Length = 2x
Height = h
where, length = 
Base area = lb
= 
Side area = 2lh + 2bh
= 2(2x)h + 2(x)h
= 4xh + 2xh
Volume = 24 which is lbh = 24

Now, cost is

now we have to minimize C(x)
So, we need to compute the C'(x)

C"(x) 
now for the critical points, we will solve the equation C'(x) = 0


So, x is a point of minima that is
= 
Now, Base material cost is

= 139.75
Side material cost is

= 279.50
and finally
Total cost is
= 139.75 + 279.50
= 419.25
Answer: 0.9
Step-by-step explanation:
If B is the midpoint of AC, that means that the distances from A to B and B to C are the same. The distance from A to B is 8x + 4, and the distance from B to C is 10x - 6, so we can set these two equivalent:
8x + 4 = 10x - 6
Solving for x:
4 = 2x - 6 (subtract 8x from both sides)
10 = 2x (add 6 to both sides)
5 = x (divide both sides by 2)
So, x = 5, which is the second option given.
