Answer:
a) There is no a word problem for both expressions (
and 
), b) A bottle contains 25.4 fluid ounces of shampoo. Katie uses 0.75 of the bottle. How much shampoo is left? A bottle contains 25.4 fluid ounces of shampoo. Katie uses 0.25 fluid ounces of the bottle. How much shampoo is left?
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The shampoo problem is a word problem for:
(Final content) = (Initial content) - (Used content)
Then,
Or:
Hence, there is no a word problem for both expressions ( and ).
b) The word problem for is:
A bottle contains 25.4 fluid ounces of shampoo. Katie uses 0.75 of the bottle. How much shampoo is left?
The word problem for is:
A bottle contains 25.4 fluid ounces of shampoo. Katie uses 0.25 fluid ounces of the bottle. How much shampoo is left?
12 * 20% = 12 * 0.20 = 2.4 hours

Answer:
5in by 5in by 5in
Step-by-step explanation:
We are not told wat to find but we can as well find the dimension of the prism that will minimize its surface area.
Given
Volume = 125in³
Formula
V = w²h ..... 1
S = 2w²+4wh ..... 2
w is the side length of the square base
h is the height of the prism
125 = w²h
h = 125/w² ..... 3
Substitute eqn 3 into 2 as shown
S = 2w²+4wh
S = 2w²+4w(125/w²)
S = 2w²+500/w
To minimize the surface area, dS/dw = 0
dS/dw =4w-500/w²
0= 4w-500/w²
Multiply through by w²
0 = 4w³-500
-4w³ = -500
w³ = 500/4
w³ =125
w = cuberoot(125)
w = 5in
Get the height
125 =w²h
125 = 25h
h = 125/25
h = 5in
Hence the dimension of the prism is 5in by 5in by 5in
