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.

If triangle XYZ is reflected across the line y = 1 to create triangle X'Y'Z', what is the ordered pair of X'? 
Vlad1618 [11]

Consider triangle XYZ with vertices at points X(1,-3), Y(3,0) and Z(-1,-1). If triangle XYZ is reflected across the line y = 1, then the rule of reflection is

(x,y)→(x,-y+2).

The image X' of point X will have coordinates according to the given rule:

X(1,-3)→X'(1, -(-3)+2)=X'(1,5).

Answer: correct choice is D.

After learning the midpoint construction Sally realizes that she could determine one fourth the length of a segment how could sh
Viefleur [7K]
The midpoint of two points is the point which divides the line segment joining the two points into two equal parts.

Suppose, we have a line segment AB with a point C, between point A and point B such that the distance AC is equal to the distance CB, then we say that point C is the midpoint of line AB.

Suppose, we have another point D between point A and point C, such that the distance AD is equal to the distance DC, then we say that point D is the midpoint of AC.

Notice that point D is a fourth of line segment AB.

Thus, AD is <span>one fourth the length of segment AB.

Therefore, one fourth the length of a segment can be obtained by evaluating the midpoint of the midpoint of the line segment.

Faith is working two summer jobs, making $13 per hour lifeguarding and $12 per
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call lifeguarding L and car washing W.  In order to write a system, we need to first separate the NUMBER of hours worked from the MONEY earned, because they are very different things.

If she works 10 hours, that is the number of hours worked between both jobs.  Therefore, the equation for the NUMBER of hours worked is

L + W = 10.

If she earns $13 an hour lifeguarding, the expression for that is 13L; if she earns $12 an hour car washing, the expression for that is 12W.  The MONEY she earned together by doing both those jobs is

13L + 12W = 124

There you go!
