A company needs to package 2,400 pencils. A box in the shape of a rectangular prism can hold 60 pencils. A cylindrical container

can hold 80 pencils. Each box costs the company $0.50, while each cylindrical container costs $0.75.
Which packaging should the company use to minimize cost? Explain.

A. The rectangular prism boxes should be used because they will cost the company $2.50 less than using the cylindrical containers.

B. The cylindrical containers should be used because they will cost the company $2.50 less than using the rectangular boxes.

C.The rectangular prism boxes should be used because they will cost the company $5.00 less than using the cylindrical containers.

D. The cylindrical containers should be used because they will cost the company $5.00 less than using the rectangular boxes.

Each rectangular prism box costs the company $0.50, while each cylindrical container costs $0.75. You have to count how many boxes or cylindrical containers the company should buy and what is the total cost in each case.

1. 2,400 : 60 = 40 - the amount of rectangular prism boxes that can contain 2,400 pencils.

$0.50 · 40 = $20 - the total cost if packing in boxes.

2. 2,400 : 80 = 30 - the number of cylindrical containers that can contain 2,400 pencils.

$0.75 · 30 = $22.50 -  the total cost if packing in containers.

Therefore, $20 < $22.50 and the difference is $2.50.

Answer: choice A - The rectangular prism boxes should be used because they will cost the company $2.50 less than using the cylindrical containers.

A good practice in mathematics is to always check your work. Explain why it is very important to do so when you are solving equa

If you don't double check your answers by substituting them back into the original equation, you may be introducing extraneous solutions into the problem which is why you should always check to confirm your answer is accurate. I hope this helps! :)

The point guard of a basketball team has to make a decision about whether or not to shoot a three-point attempt or pass the ball
melamori03 [73]

the expected value for the 3 point shot = (3 * 0.30) + (0 * 0.70) = 0.90

the expected value for the 2 point shot = (2 * 0.48) + (0 * 0.52) = 0.96

the expected value for the 2 point shot is higher than the 3 point shot so he should pass the ball

What type of triangle has side lengths 12, 13, and 2√3?
Travka [436]

Answer:

The triangle is an obtuse scalene triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

if c^{2}=a^{2}+b^{2} --------> is a right triangle

if c^{2}>a^{2}+b^{2} --------> is an obtuse triangle

if c^{2} --------> is an acute triangle

where

c is the greater side

we have

c=13\ units

a=12\ units

b=2\sqrt{3}\ units

so

c^{2}=13^{2}=169

a^{2}+b^{2}=12^{2}+(2\sqrt{3})^{2}=156

so

c^{2}>a^{2}+b^{2} -------> is an obtuse triangle

Remember that

The given triangle has three different length side

so

Is a scalene triangle

therefore

The triangle is an obtuse scalene triangle
