The surface area of each of your designs is 486 inches^{2} . So dimensions (in inches) of 4 different plastic shipping containers that would fit the boxes exactly is a cube of side 9 inches.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Here we have , Olivia has to design a plastic shipping container that will hold 12 basketballs in individual boxes. The basketballs have a radius of 4.5 inches and fit exactly in their individual boxes that are cubes. Give the dimensions (in inches) of 4 different plastic shipping containers that would fit the boxes exactly. Two containers with the same dimensions in a different order do not count as different containers. Basketball is in form of sphere who's radius is 4.5 inches , also it's inscribed in cubes or boxes perfectly . In this case:

Side of a cube = 2(radius of sphere) = 2(4.5) = 9 in

We know that , surface area of a cube is 6side^{2} .

⇒ Area = 6(side)^{2}\\Area = 6(9)^{2}\\Area = 486 in^{2}

Therefore, the surface area of each of your designs is 486 inches^{2} .

Find the coefficient of x2 in (3x2 – 5) (4 + 4x2), expand using algebraic expressions and answer
Scilla [17]

Answer:

- 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(3x² - 5)(4 + 4x²)

Each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor, that is

3x²(4 + 4x²) - 5 (4 + 4x²) ← distribute both parenthesis

= 12x² + 12x^{4} - 20 - 20x² ← collect like terms

= 12x^{4} - 8x² - 20

The coefficient of the x² term is - 8

Jackie walks into a convenience store and recognizes the number of lottery tickets she can purchase varies inversely with the pr
OLEGan [10]
Let the price of the tickets be 'x' and the number of tickets bought is 'y'

When the y inversely proportioned to x, the equation is

y = k/x where k is a constant

We work out the value of k by using the information y = 6 and x = 5

6 = k/5
k = 30

Hence, the maximum number of tickets when the price is $3 is

y = 30/3
y = 10 tickets

The table below shows the typical hours worked by employees at a company. A salaried employee makes $78,000 per year. Hourly emp
MrRa [10]

Given:

  • The table of typical hours worked by employees at a company
  • salaried employee makes $78,000 per year
  • hourly employees get $26 per hour and $39 per hour when they work more than 40 hours.

To Find: Which payment option to recommend to a new employee.

Solution: I would recommend being a salaried employee.

Explanation:

We begin by calculating the typical number of hours worked per week.

Adding up the hours from the table, we have 0+8+8.5+9.5+10+8+3=47.

The payment for an hourly employee must be calculated as $26 per hour for working till 40 hours, and $39 per hour when they work more than 40 hours.

So, the payment for 47 hours of work per week will be (26)(40) + (39)(7) = 1313 dollars.

As there are 52 weeks in a year, the yearly payment for an hourly emplyee would be (1313)(52) = 68276. That is, an hourly employee would earn $68276.

On the other hand, we are given that a salaried employee makes $78000 per year which is more money than what an hourly employee makes for the same amount of work.

Therefore, I would recommend a new emplyee to be paid a salary rather than work on an hourly basis.

Pete corporation produces bags of peanuts. It's fixed cost is $18,900. Each bag sells for $2.17 with a unit cost of $1.27. What
pentagon [3]

Answer:

in units: 18,900

in dollars: $ 41,013

Step-by-step explanation:

The break even point is the sales dollar amount or sales in unit at whichthe operating income of the firm equals to zero:\frac{Fixed\:Cost}{Contribution \:Margin} = Break\: Even\: Point_{units }

Where:

\frac{Contribution \: Margin}{Sales \: Revenue} = Contribution \: Margin \: Ratio

<em><u>Contribution margin:</u></em>

2.17 - 1.27 = 1 dollar per unit

Break even:

$18,900 fixed cost /  $1 per unit = 18,900 units

Then, in sales:

18,900 x $2.17 each = 41.013‬

break even point:
