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

Davi has 75 flower seeds. He wants to plant the seeds in pots so that every seed is planted, and every pot has
Vlada [557]

Answer:

15 pots

Step-by-step explanation:

If you divide 75 by 5 then you get 15. So if you plant 5 seeds per pot then you will need 15 pots to plant all of the seeds.

Hope this is what you wanted.

frez [133]
In this case probability is the likelihood that from 264 customers one customer wins free gallon of milk with his food purchase, or in other words the probability that one customer receives a star on his receipt.
Probability is the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of all  possible events. From 264 customers, 219 have not received a star. The opposite is to receive a star and that is the situation: (1-219)/264=0.17,

Which oh the following are among the five basic postulates of Euclidean geometry
igomit [66]

1. A straight line segment can be drawn joining any two points.

2. Any straight line segment can be extended indefinitely in a straight line.

3. Given any straight line segment, a circle can be drawn having the segment as radius and one endpoint as center.

4. All right angles are congruent.

5. If two lines are drawn which intersect a third in such a way that the sum of the inner angles on one side is less than two right angles, then the two lines inevitably must intersect each other on that side if extended far enough. This postulate is equivalent to what is known as the parallel postulate.

Identify the expression equivalent to 4(x + x + 7) − 2x + 8 − 4 by substituting x = 1 and x = 2.
miv72 [106K]
F(1)=4(1+1+7)-2(1)+8-4
f(1)=36+2
f(1)=38

f(2)=4(2+2+7)-2(2)+8-4
f(2)=44

Find the magnitude of wx for w(-3 5 4) and x(9 5 3)
Hatshy [7]

Answer:  Magnitude of wx is \sqrt{145}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

w(-3,5,4)=-3\hat{i}+5\hat{j}+4\hat{k}\\\\x(9,5,3)=9\hat{i}+5\hat{j}+3\hat{k}

Now, first we will find 'wx':

wx=Initial-Final\\\\wx=(9+3)\hat{i}+(5-5)\hat{j}+(3-4)\hat{k}\\\\wx=12\hat{i}-1\hat{k}

We need to find the "magnitude":

\mid wx\mid=\sqrt{12^2+1^2}=\sqrt{144+1}=\sqrt{145}

Hence, Magnitude of wx is \sqrt{145}
