Mr. Anderson drove 168 miles in 3.5 hours. He then drove the next 2.25 hours at a rate of 5 miles an hour faster than the first

rate. How many miles did Mr. Anderson drive during the 5.75 hours?

Mr. Anderson drove 168 miles in 3.5 hours. Distance here is 168 miles.
He drove for 2.25 at a rate of 5miles/hour. The speed here is 5miles/hour.

Since we are looking for distance, we have to convert the 2nd part (which is the speed) to dostance.

Distance = speed x time

Distance = 5 x 2.25 = 11.25

In the first part, he drove for 3.5 hours. And in the 2nd part, he drove for 2.25 hours which sum up together to be 5.75 hours.

Since we have the distances for both parts now, we just sum it up

which it 168 + 11.25 = 179.25 miles

I hope this is good

The base of an aquarium with given volume V is made of slate and the sides are made of glass. If the slate costs seven times as

Answer:

$l = \sqrt[3]{\frac{2V}{7}}$ $b = \sqrt[3]{\frac{2V}{7}}$ $h = \sqrt[3]{\frac{49V}{4}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the volume of the box with V and the dimensions with l, b and h.

The volume (V) is:

$V = l * b * h$

Make h the subject of the formula

$h = \frac{V}{lb}$

The surface area (S) of the aquarium is:

$S = lb + 2(lh + bh)$

Where lb represents the area of the base (i.e. slate):

The cost (C) of the surface area is:

$C = 7 * lb + 1 * 2(lh + bh)$

$C = 7lb + 2(lh + bh)$

$C = 7lb + 2h(l + b)$

Substitute $\frac{V}{lb}$ for h in the above equation

$C = 7lb + 2*\frac{V}{lb}(l + b)$

$C = 7lb + \frac{2V}{lb}(l + b)$

$C = 7lb + \frac{2V}{b} + \frac{2V}{l}$

Differentiate with respect to l and with respect to b

$C_l=7b - \frac{2V}{l^2}$ $=0$

$C_b=7l - \frac{2V}{b^2}$ $=0$

To solve for b and l, we equate both equations and set l to b (to minimize the cost)

$7b - \frac{2V}{l^2}=7l - \frac{2V}{b^2}$

$7l - \frac{2V}{l^2}=7b - \frac{2V}{b^2}$

By comparison:

$l =b$

$C_l=7b - \frac{2V}{l^2}$ $=0$ becomes

$7l - \frac{2V}{l^2}=0$

$7l = \frac{2V}{l^2}$

Cross Multiply

$7l^3 = 2V$

Solve for l

$l^3 = \frac{2V}{7}$

$l = \sqrt[3]{\frac{2V}{7}}$

Recall that: $l =b$

$b = \sqrt[3]{\frac{2V}{7}}$

Also recall that:

$h = \frac{V}{lb}$

$h = \frac{V}{\sqrt[3]{\frac{2V}{7}}*\sqrt[3]{\frac{2V}{7}}}$

$h = \frac{V}{\sqrt[3]{\frac{4V^2}{49}}}$

Apply law of indices

$h = \sqrt[3]{\frac{49V^3}{4V^2}}$

$h = \sqrt[3]{\frac{49V}{4}}$

The dimension that minimizes the cost of material of the aquarium is:

$l = \sqrt[3]{\frac{2V}{7}}$ $b = \sqrt[3]{\frac{2V}{7}}$ $h = \sqrt[3]{\frac{49V}{4}}$
