Answer:
44
Step-by-step explanation:
5 1/2 / 1/8
turn into improper fraction
11/2 then change to multiplication
11/2*8/1(have to flip)
88/2(multiply across)
simplify=44
28:13 is the answer i’m pretty for sure
Check the picture.
let the length of a side of each of the squares removed be x.
The box formed will have dimensions: 80-2x, 50-2x, x(the height)
So the volume can be expressed as a function of x as follows:
f(x)=(80-2x)(50-2x)x=
so
the solutions of f'(x)=0 gives the inflection points, so the candidates for maxima points,
solving the quadratic equation, either by a calculator, graphing software, or by other algebraic methods as the discriminant formula, we find the solutions
x=10 and x=33.333
plug in f(x) these values to see which greater:
cm cubed
which is negative because (50-66.666)<0
Answer: 18000 cm cubed
