A rectangular container can hold 45 candles, while a cylindrical container holds 41 candles. Each rectangular container costs th

e company $16, while the cylindrical container costs the company $15. If the company needs to package 6,400 candles, should it use only rectangular or only cylindrical containers to minimize costs? Explain. How many rectangular containers will be necessary to package 6,400 candles?

Answer:

143 ... 157 ... the rectangular containers, because it will cost the company $67 more to use the cylindrical containers

I just did the assignment, and those were the correct answers.

Answer: Rectangular container is preferred to minimize the costs and  there are 142 rectangular container is needed to pack 6400 candles.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of candles in a rectangular container = 45

Number of candles in a cylindrical container = 41

Cost of each rectangular container = $15

Cost of each cylinder container = $16

That means ,

In case of rectangular container,

Cost of 45 candles = $15

Cost of 1 candle is given by

\frac{15}{45}=\frac{1}{3}=\$0.33

Similarly,

In case of cylindrical container,

Cost of 41 candles = $16

Cost of 1 candle is given by

\frac{16}{41}=\$0.39

So, if the company needs to package 6,400 candles , it should use <u>rectangular containers </u>to minimize costs.

Number of candle he need to pack = 6400

Number of rectangular container for 6400 candles is given by

\frac{6400}{45}=142.2=142\ approximately.

Hence, there are 142 rectangular container is needed to pack 6400 candles.

Jenna’s method: Mia’s method:
boyakko [2]

Answer:

Mia's method have one advantage that the steps became less than Jenna's method.          

Step-by-step explanation:

Jenna’s method :

5(30 + 4)

=(5)(30) + (5)(4)

=150 + 20

=170

Mia’s method :

5(30 + 4)

=(5)(34)

=170

To find : Explain why both Jenna and Mia arrived at the same answer and the advantage of one method over the other ?

Solution :

The method of both were different but correct.

One apply distributive property and other apply direct calculation.

So, both Jenna and Mia arrived at the same answer

But Mia's method have one advantage that the steps became less than Jenna's method.

chris can run at a constant speed of 12 km/h. How ling will it take him to run from his home to the park, a distance of 0.8 km?
densk [106]

Recall that distance = speed times time. Thus, time = distance / speed.

Here:

time = distance / speed = 0.8 km / 12 km/hr = 1/15 hr.

Note that 1/15 hr = 1/15 (60 min) = 4 minutes

Which statements are true about the graph of y s 3x + 1 and y 2 -x + 2? Check all that apply.
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Let's go through all the options one at a time and look for the correct ones

<u>Option 1: The slope of one boundary line is 2</u>

We have 2 equations of lines, where the coefficients of are 3 and -1 respectively

because the coefficient of x denotes the slope of a line, we know that the lines have the slope 3 and -1, not 2

Hence, this option is Incorrect

<u>Option 2: Both boundary lines are solid</u>

In order for the boundary lines to be solid, the inequality must have an 'equal to', like ≤ (less than or equal to) or ≥ (greater than or equal to)

we can see that that's the case in our case and hence, this option is Correct

<u>Option 3: A solution to the system is (1, 3)</u>

To confirm this, we'll plug these coordinates into the given inequalities and see if it stands correct

y ≤ 3x + 1

3 ≤ 3(1) + 1

3 ≤ 4 which is correct because 3 is less than 4

Second equation:

y ≥ 2 - x

3 ≥ 2 - 1

3 ≥ 1

Which is also true because 3 is greater than 1

Now, we can say that (1 , 3) is a solution to the system because it satisfies both the equations and is Correct

<u>Option 4: Both inequalities are shaded below the boundary lines</u>

For an inequality to be shaded below the boundary line, it must have the ≤ inequality (in case of solid line) and < inequality (in case of dotted line)

because the second inequality listed includes the ≥ inequality, which was not mentioned above, it won't be shaded below

another way to think about it is that any 'greater than' inequality will shade everything above the line and the 'lesser than' inequality will shade below the line

which means that this option is Incorrect

<u>Option 5: The boundary lines intersect</u>

In order for the boundary lines to intersect, they must have have different slopes.

as we mentioned in the explanation of the first option, that the slopes of the lines is 3 and -1, which are different slopes

Therefore, this option is Correct

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

There is not sufficient evidence to warrant the rejection of the claim that the mean weight of cereal is atleast 14 oz

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypothesis for the test above will be stated as follows :

The claim to be tested is the alternative hypothesis, which is the negation of the Null hypothesis

H0 : μ < 14

H1 : μ ≥ 14

If the Null is rejected, then it means that the company's claim that the mean weight of its cereal being atleast 14 is valid ;

Then it means there is significant evidence to support the stance that the mean weight of cereal in the company's packet is atleast 14 oz.
