A company manufactures aluminum mailboxes in the shape of a box with a half-cylinder top. The company will make 1863 mailboxes t

his week. If each mailbox has dimensions as shown in the figure below, how many square meters of aluminum will be needed to make these mailboxes? In your calculations, use the value 3.14 for П, and round up your answer to the next square meter.

Answer:

3433 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

From the image, we have a rectangular box without cover and half a cylinder on top.

Formula for surface area of rectangular box with top is;

S = 2(lh + wh + lw)

From the image,

l = 0.6 m

w = 0.4 m

h = 0.55 m

Thus;

S = 2((0.6 × 0.55) + (0.4 × 0.55) + (0.6 × 0.4))

S = 1.58 m²

Now, since the top is not included for this figure, then;

Surface area of this rectangular box is;

S1 = 1.58 - (lw) = 1.58 - (0.4 × 0.6) = 1.34 m²

Surface area of a cylinder is;

S = 2πr² + 2πrh

r is radius and in this case = 0.4/2 = 0.2 m

h = 0.6

S = 2π(0.2² + (0.2 × 0.6))

S = 1.005 m²

Since it is half cylinder, then we have;

S2 = 1.005/2

S2 = 0.5025 m²

Total surface area; S_t = S1 + S2

S_t = 1.34 + 0.5025

S_t = 1.8425 m²

This is the surface area of one mail box.

Thus, for 1863 mailboxes, total surface area is;

S = 1863 × 1.8425 = 3432.5775 m²

Approximating to the nearest Sq.m gives;

S = 3433 m²

A hospital bill is estimated to be $462.00. It ends up actually costing the patient $525.00. What is the percent error in the bi

Mamont248 [21]

In order to find the percent error, we need to first find the difference between what was expected and what is actually costed. We do this by subtracting:

$525-462=63$

So now we know that the expected amount was off by $63. To find the percent error, we need to take this $63, and divide it by the amount that was estimated. Let's do that now:

$\frac{63}{462}=0.1364$

However this is in decimal form. We need to multiply by 100 in order to get it in a percent:

$0.1364*100=13.64%$

Now we know that the percent error of the hospital bill estimate is 13.64%.

Jacob has a bag of his favorite marbles. It has 3 red marbles, 4 blue, and 10 of his most favorite color, neon orange. What is t

drek231 [11]

Answer:

$P(1\ and\ 2) = 0.3309$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Red = 3$

$Blue = 4$

$Orange=10$

Required

Probability of selecting 2 orange marbles

The total number of marbles is:

$Total = Red + Blue + Orange$

$Total = 3 + 4 + 10$

$Total = 17$

The probability that the first selection is orange is:

$P(1) = \frac{10}{17}$

Because it is a selection without replacement, the number of orange marbles and the total number of marbles would decrease by 1, respectively.

So, the probability that the selection is orange is:

$P(2) = \frac{10-1}{17-1}$

$P(2) = \frac{9}{16}$

The required probability is:

$P(1\ and\ 2) = P(1) * P(2)$

$P(1\ and\ 2) = \frac{10}{17} * \frac{9}{16}$

$P(1\ and\ 2) = \frac{10*9}{17*16}$

$P(1\ and\ 2) = \frac{90}{272}$

$P(1\ and\ 2) = 0.3309$

Colin & Brian share a lottery win of £2100 in the ratio 4 : 1. Colin then shares his part between himself, his wife & th

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

His wife gets $336 more than his son.

Step-by-step explanation:

Colin and Brian:

Ratio of 4:1.

So Colin gets $\frac{4}{4+1} = \frac{4}{5}$ of the prize.

$\frac{4*2100}{5} = 1680$

Colin got $1680. Dividing between himself, his wife and their son:

Ratio of 2:5:3.

So Colin gets $\frac{2}{2+3+5} = \frac{2}{10}$ , his wife gets $\frac{5}{2+3+5} = \frac{5}{10}$ and his son gets $\frac{3}{2+3+5} = \frac{3}{10}$

Wife:

$\frac{5*1680}{10} = 840$

His wife got $840.

Son:

$\frac{3*1680}{10} = 504$

His son got $504.

How much more does his wife get over their son?

840 - 504 = 336

His wife gets $336 more than his son.

You are planning to hire a full-time electrician who will work 40 hours per week. If you plan on giving this new hire three week

tresset_1 [31]

Option b) 1960 is the total number of hours the electrician worked.

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

It is given that, the full-time electrician will work 40 hours per week.

So, we need to know the total number of hours he could work in twelve months which is one year.

Therefore, one year has a total of 365 days.

<u>To find the number of weeks in twelve months :</u>

Number of weeks = Total days in one year / 7 days of week

⇒ 365 / 7

⇒ 52.14 (approximately 52 weeks)

The number of weeks in twelve months is 52 weeks.

Now, of this 52 weeks, the three weeks are given as vacation.

The total number of weeks the electrician worked = 52 weeks - 3 weeks

⇒ 49 weeks.

The electrician worked for 49 weeks.

To calculate the total number of hours he worked = 49 weeks × 40 hours

⇒ 1960 hours.

Therefore, the total number of hours the electrician worked is 1960 hours which is option b).
