Margie is packing 108 small boxes into a large carton. the small boxes will fill all of the space inside the large carton. Each

small box is 3 inches long 2 inches wide and 1 inch high. The width of the base, and the height of the large carton are the same. the length of the base is less then 36 inches. All of the dimensions are whole numbers. Explain how to find possible dimensions for the large carton.

2 inches wide
that means that the height of the large carton is 2 inches

find the volume of the carton
V=108 times volume of small box
V=108 times 1 times 2 time s3
V=648 in^2

height is 2
V=LWH
648=LW2    (note, this is not LW^2 but 2 times LW)
divie both sides by 2
324=LW
legnth of base is less than 36
div
we just need to find the values of legnth and width such that LW=324 and L<36 and that L or W is divisible by 3 (since each box is 3 inches long)

so lets factor 324
324=2*2*3*3*3*3
group them and find possible values for legnth and width less than 36 and divsible by 3
possible values

(L,W,H) possible values are
(27,12,2)
(18,18,2)



the possible dimentions are

terrence made a sphere out of modeling clay. the sphere had a radius of 2 inches. approximately how much modeling clay did terre
navik [9.2K]

Amount of clay used = volume of the sphere

It is given that the radius of the sphere is 2 inches.

Volume of the sphere = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}

=\frac{4}{3} \pi (2^{3} )

=\frac{4}{3} \pi (8)

=\frac{32}{3} \pi

Hence, the amount of modeling clay Terrence used =\frac{32}{3} \pi cubic inches.

Hello!!

P (Passing a qualifying examination) = 3/4

P (Being appointed if he does pass) = 3/8

P (Recieve the job) = 3/4 × 3/8 = 9/24

Good luck :)

Students who party before an exam are twice as likely to fail as those who don't party (and presumably study). If 20% of the stu
True [87]

Answer:

The fraction of the students who failed to went partying = \frac{1}{10}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let total number of students = 100

No. of students partied are twice the no. of students who not partied.

⇒ No. of students partied = 2 × the no. of students who are not partied

No. of students partied before the exam = 20 % of total students

⇒ No. of students partied before the exam = \frac{20}{100} × 100

⇒ No. of students partied before the exam =  20

No. of students who not partied before the exam = \frac{20}{2} = 10

Thus the fraction of the students who failed to went partying = \frac{10}{100} = \frac{1}{10}

Which explains how to find the quotient of the division below? - 3 1/3 divided by 4/9 Write Negative 3 and one-third as Negative
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

its B

Step-by-step explanation:

cuz -3 1/3 would be turned into -10/3 by multiplying 3*3 which will give u 9 and adding 1 which is 10 then u put the 10 on top and keep the 3 as bottom.

and then flip the 4/9 which will turn into 9/4 so now u can multiple intead of divide

-10/3 * 9/4 and then youll get ur answer.
