You are given a rectangular sheet of cardboard that measures 11 in. by 8.5 in. (see the diagram below). A small square of the sa

me size is cut from each corner, and each side folded up along the cuts to from a box with no lid.
1. Anya thinks the cut should be 1.5 inches to create the greatest volume, while Terrence thinks it should be 3 inches.

Explain how both students can determine the formula for the volume of the box.
Determine which student's suggestion would create the larger volume.
Explain how there can be two different volumes when each student starts with the same size cardboard.
2. Why is the value of x limited to 0 in. < x < 4.25 in.?

Given f(x) and g(x) = f(x) + k, look at the graph below and determine the value of k. k = ______ Graph of two lines. f of x equa
lawyer [12517]

Solution:

We know, g(x) = f(x) + k --------(1)

It is given that f(x) = \frac{1}{3}(x+2)

and g(x) = \frac{1}{3}(x+5)

Substituting f(x) and g(x) into equation (1):

→ \frac{1}{3}(x+5) = \frac{1}{3}(x+2) + k

→ \frac{1}{3}[x+5-x-2] = k

→ k = \frac{1}{3} \times 3=1

Thus, the value of k is 1.

Yoku is putting on sunscreen. He uses 2\text{ ml}2 ml2, start text, space, m, l, end text to cover 50\text{ cm}^250 cm 2 50, sta
AnnZ [12381]

Answer:

13 Millilitres.

Step-by-step explanation:

Yoku applies 2ml to cover 50cm^2 of his skin.

He seeks to find out how many millilitres he needs to cover 325cm^2 of his body.

With 2ml, Yoku covers 50cm^2 of his skin

He will use \frac{2}{50}ml of sunscreen for covering 1cm^2 of his skin.

Thus:

For covering 325cm^2 of his body, he will require:

\frac{2}{50} X 325 ml\\=13ml

he would need 13 Millilitres.

You are painting a room. After 18 minutes, 64% of the room still needs painted. How long does it take to paint the entire room?
lawyer [12517]

Answer:

A) The total duration needed to paint the room is 50 minutes.

B) To paint 64% of the room takes 32 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as:

After 18 minutes, 64% of the room still requires painting.

Therefore, within 18 minutes, (100% - 64% = 36%) of the room has been painted

Let T minutes be the total time required to paint the entire room.

Now, according to the question

A ) Using the unitary method

∵ In total, 36% of the room is covered in 18 minutes

Thus, in total time of \dfrac{18}{36} minutes, 1% of the complete room is painted.Consequently, 100% of the room would be painted in \dfrac{18}{36} × 100 minutes

i.e T = \dfrac{18\times 100}{36}

Thus, T = 50 min

Therefore, the duration needed to paint the entire room = T = 50 minutes

Thus, the time required to finish painting the entire room is 50 minutes. Answer

B) Again

Time taken to paint 64% of the room = x minutes

∵ 36% of the room has been painted in a total of 18 minutes

Thus, 1% of the entire room gets painted in \dfrac{18}{36} minutes

Consequently, painting 64% of the room will take \dfrac{18}{36} × 64 minutes

i.e x = \dfrac{18\times 64}{36}

Thus, x = 32 min

Therefore, the required time for painting 64% of the entire room = x = 32 minutes

Thus, the time required to paint 64% of the room amounts to 32 minutes. Answer

Joaquin is four more than half Marjorie’s age. Marjorie is also 32 less than three times Joaquin’s age.
babunello [11817]

Answer:

Her age is 40 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Jerry's age be represented as j

Let Marjorie's age be denoted as m

The first part of the question states:

j = 4 + m/2

For the second equation:

m = 3j - 32

Multiply the first equation by 2 to get:

2j = 8 + m

Leading to m = 2j - 8

Set both equations for m equal to each other:

2j - 8 = 3j - 32

By simplifying, we get:

3j - 2j = 32 - 8

Therefore, j = 24

Now substituting back:

m = 2j - 8

m = 2(24) - 8

Thus, m = 48 - 8

Final result: m = 40
