A paper manufacturer is evaluating their packing procedures. Currently, they package twelve reams of paper in a box—in three stacks of four reams. However, their company has been getting complaints from the retail stores that the box is too large and heavy for the average consumer to carry by their self. So, they have decided to reduce the weight of each box by ten pounds. You have been asked to explore the different packing options based on the new weight condition and present your recommendation to the CEO of the paper company. Identify three unique ways to package the paper given the new weight condition. Include both the dimensions of the new boxes, as well as a verbal description of how the reams will be packaged. You may include sketches if you wish.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

3 stacks of 4 reams= 12 reams

Each ream weighs 5 pounds so reducing 10 pounds means removing 2 reams from the 12.

First option is 5+5= 2 stacks of 5/5 reams.

2 stacks of 5 each would be easy to carry. provided the stacks should be placed parallel to each other  which would increase the length making it comparatively longer. its easier to hold a (2*8, 11, 2*5 = 17, 11, 17) compact box

Second option is 2+3+3+2 = 4 stacks of  2/3/3/2 reams

Third option is  3+4+3= 3 stacks of 3/4/3 reams

Vivian worked 19 hours more than Malik last month. If Vivian worked 7 hours for every 2 hours that Malik worked, how many hours did they each work? Note: these are proportion problems

Answers

Answer:

Malik 7.6

Vivian 26.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Vivian is working at the rate of 7hrs per 2 hours so basically 3.5hrs per hour Malik worked. In equation, it looks like:

V=3.5m where M is the number of hours Malik worked.

We know Vivian works 19 more hours than Malik and that in equation would be:

m+19 = V

So equate the two

3.5m = m+19

3.5m-m=19

2.55m=19

m=7.6

V=7.6+19 = 26.6

No solution

The table of values represents the function g(x) and the graph shows the function f(x).
Which statement about the functions is true?
1. f(x) and g(x) are both absolute value functions.
2. f(−2) is greater than g(−2) .
3. f(x) and g(x) intersect at exactly two points.
4. f(x) is greater than g(x) for all values of x.

Answers

Answer:

2 and 3 are true

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Although f(x) is in fact an absolute value function and g(x) never goes below 0, g(x) is not an absolute value function because it does not grow linearly. This is known because, between even x intervals, the y value does not change the same amount.

2. f(-2)=2, and g(-2) is 1, meaning that this statement is in fact correct.

3. For this part, it would probably be a good idea to figure out the equation of both graphs. For g(x), starting at the line of symmetry at x=-3, y is 0, which means that the parabola has not been shifted up or down at all, and that its vertex is at (-3,0). Since it grows at the same rate as the parent function of a parabola, its graph is (x+3)^2. For f(x), you can see that it is an absolute value shifted left 3 and up 1, giving it an equation of |x+3|+1. Now, I've graphed both of them below, and you can see that they intersect at exactly two points, making this statement true.

4. Once again, the graph is helpful here. You can see that although f(x) starts off greater, g(x) with its exponential growth quickly overtakes it. Therefore, this statement is false.

Hope this helps!

Anita took off in her helicopter from 129 meters below sea level.She later landed at a location 539 meter above

Answers

Answer:

668

Step-by-step explanation:

She starts at 129 below sea level so she has to travel 129 to get to sea level then she ends at 539 so she has to travel 539 to get to 539 above so we add both numbers to get the answer

Answer:

668

Explanation:

To solve this problem, add 539 and 129 meters together.

539 + 129 = 668

Therefore, 668 represents Anita's change in altitude.

A rectangular lot is 50 meters wide and 90 meters long. Give the length and the width of another rectangular lot that has the same perimeter but a larger area.

Answers

Answer:

Length = 80 metres and Width = 60 metres.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Length = 90m

Width = 50m

Required

Dimension of another rectangle with the same perimeter but larger area;

Perimeter of a rectangle is calculated as thus;

[tex]Perimeter = 2(Length + Width)[/tex]

Substitute: Length = 90m and Width = 50m

[tex]Perimeter = 2(90m+ 50m)[/tex]

[tex]Perimeter = 2(140m)[/tex]

[tex]Perimeter = 280m[/tex]

Area of a rectangle is calculated as thus;

[tex]Area = Length * Width[/tex]

Substitute: Length = 90m and Width = 50m

[tex]Area = 90m * 50m[/tex]

[tex]Area = 4500m^2[/tex]

So, the implication of this question is to get a rectangle whose perimeter is 280m and area is greater that 4500m²

Using trial by error method;

Assume length of a rectangle is 80m;

This means the width must be 60m

Calculating the perimeter

[tex]Perimeter = 2(80m+ 60m)[/tex]

[tex]Perimeter = 2(140m)[/tex]

[tex]Perimeter = 280m[/tex]

Calculating the area

[tex]Area = 80m * 60m[/tex]

[tex]Area = 4800m^2[/tex]

Since, the area of this rectangle is greater than the area of the previous rectangle. we can adopt this dimension.

Length = 80 metres and Width = 60 metres.

Note: There are other dimensions that have higher area and exact perimeter as the given rectangle in the question;

What is the solution to the equation 1/4x +2= -5/8x - 5

Answers

Answer:

x = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4x +2= -5/8x - 5

Add 5/8x to each side

1/4x +5/8x +2= -5/8x+5/8x - 5

1/4x+5/8x +2=  - 5

Subtract 2 from each side

1/4x+5/8x +2-2=  - 5-2

1/4x+5/8x =  - 7

Get a common denominator

1/4 *2/2 x + 5/8x = -7

2/8x + 5/8x = -7

7/8x = -7

Multiply each side by 8/7

8/7x * 7/8x = -7 *8/7

x = -8

Answer:

x=-8

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4x+2=-5/8x-5

find l.c.m=8

multiply through by l.c.m which is 8

x/4×8+2×8=-5x/8×8-5×8

2x+16=-5x-40

2x+5x=-40-16

7x=-56

divide both sides by 7

7x/7=-56/7

x=-8

Determine whether these two triangles are congruent with the ASA congruence method. If so, write the congruence statement. answers: A) ΔFED ≅ ΔGFE B) ΔDEF ≅ ΔGEF C) The triangles aren't congruent using ASA. D) ΔDEF ≅ ΔGFE

Answers

Answer:

D) ΔDEF ≅ ΔGFE

Step-by-step explanation:

For ASA to be used, 2 angles and their included side must be congruent. ∠F ≅ ∠E because of the markings, ∠E ≅ ∠F because all right angles are congruent, and side FE ≅ EF because they are aligned with each other. 2 angles and their included side are congruent.

As for the congruence statement, D is the right answer because ∠D ≅ ∠G, ∠E ≅ F, and ∠F ≅ ∠E.

I hope this helps :))

ΔDEF ≅ ΔGFE are congruent with ASA. Option D is correct.

Given that,
Two triangles are given with a common side EF whose alternate interior angles are also equal .i.e ∠E = ∠F and also are of 90° in ΔDEF and ΔGFE respectively.

What are Similar triangles?

Similar triangles are those triangles that have similar properties,i.e. angles and proportionality of sides.

What is congruent geometry?

In congruent geometry, the shapes that are so identical. can be superimposed on themselves.

Here,
In ΔDEF and ΔGFE
∠DEF = ∠GFE (both are of  90°)
   EF = EF        (common side)
∠DFE = ∠GEF (alternate interior angle)
Hence  ΔDEF ≅ ΔGFE are congruent by ASA.

Thus, ΔDEF ≅ ΔGFE are congruent with ASA. Option D is correct.

Kareem has a pencil that is 13.5 centimeters
ong and a crayon that is 87.5 millimeters
ong. How many millimeters longer is
the pencil than the crayon?
(1 centimeter = 10 millimeters)

Answers

47.5 millimeters longer

The pencil is 47.5 millimeters longer than the crayon.

To find out how many millimeters longer the pencil is than the crayon, we need to convert the length of the pencil from centimeters to millimeters and then subtract the length of the crayon.

Given that length of the pencil = 13.5 centimeters

Length of the crayon = 87.5 millimeters

To convert centimeters to millimeters, we use the conversion factor: 1 centimeter = 10 millimeters.

So, the length of the pencil in millimeters is:

13.5 centimeters × 10 millimeters/centimeter = 135 millimeters

Now we can calculate the difference in length between the pencil and the crayon:

Length of the pencil - Length of the crayon = 135 millimeters - 87.5 millimeters

Subtracting the lengths, we find that the pencil is:

135 millimeters - 87.5 millimeters = 47.5 millimeters longer than the crayon.

Therefore, the pencil is 47.5 millimeters longer than the crayon.

Factor 4x2 - 16 using difference of two squares.

Answers

Answer:

4(x+2)(x-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

4x^2-16

4(x^2-4)

4(x+2)(x-2)

The difference of two squares formula is (a+b)(a-b), and it happens only when a^2 is minus b^2

So, 4x^2 − 16 = (2x + 4)(2x − 4).

Explanation:

4x2^ − 16 is of the form a^2 − b^2 (where a = 2x, b = 4), and as per the identity:

a^2 − b^2 = (a + b)(a − b)

So, 4x^2 − 16 = (2x + 4)(2x − 4)

-4/-9= 4/9

so the slope is 4/9
