Brad wants to package his baseballs in sets of 100. bethany says the box that will take least amount of cardboard for 100 baseballs is one with a base of 2×5 and a height of 10. do you agree or disagree? explain your thinking.

Disagree

Step-by-step explanation:

A box with minimum area for a given volume will have the shape of a cube. The cube root of 100 is about 4.64, so a box that is about 4×5×5 will probably have a smaller area.

I gross terms, the 2×5×10 box will have area

... 2(2×5 +10×(2+5)) = 160 square units

where a unit may be a baseball diameter.

On the other hand the 4×5×5 box will have an area of ...

... 2(4×5 +5×(4+5)) = 130 square units

Since baseballs can be close-packed, the box may be able to be made smaller than the above suggested dimensions might indicate.

7

step-by-step explanation:

i'm assuming you need to figure out how many campers go into each tent.

i got the answer by:

24+4=28

28/4=7  

let x be the money she spent so that she can earn the free t-shirt.

since, she already spent $112.49

⇒

also, as per the statement: jennifer must spend $250 or more in order to qualify for a free t-shirt at the store.

then,

we have an inequality i.,e

subtract 112.49 from both sides we get;

therefore, $137. 51 more money does jennifer need to spend so that she can earn the free t-shirt
