Answer 5

@Ms-Brains

Answer 6

Okay the first step is to fine the surface area of a rectangle I'm thinking

Answer 7

And each side is 0.05

Answer 8

it wouldn't be of the regular sized box?

Answer 9

Yes sorry got messes up

Answer 10

How do I find that of a normal one?

Answer 11

Width* height * 2 sides

find the area of ends

Length * width * 2 ends

Answer 12

Like how do I know the dimensions of a regular cereal box?

Answer 13

I don't have one to measure or anything

Answer 14

I'm not sure there because one your attachment it says to CREATE a new box, bag, or carton so I'm not sure

Answer 15

@ILovePuppiesLol

Answer 16

im so bad with math :( sowwy

Answer 17

@sbuck98 is there some picture we could look at?

Answer 18

no:( that's all the information I was given

Answer 19

Okay lets see what we can do what do you know so far?

Answer 20

nothing:((((

Answer 21

volume is length times width times height

Answer 22

That's what I thought but what is the volume? Wouldn't be 0.05 because that's all it gives you

Answer 23

Alright @sbuck98 it's okay I think its the problem that's got me all confused

Answer 24

no it says find the cheapest way to make a box at 5 cents per inch of cardboard

Answer 25

im so confused:(

Answer 26

You're not alone on that

Answer 27

idk how I'm suppose to do this, my teacher will not help me.

Answer 28

Well, what I'm confuse about is why give you 0.05? Because Width times the height would be 0.05 * 0.05 =0.0025

Answer 29

Then 0.0025+0.0025 =0.005 it'd be like taking a step back

Answer 30

we some how have to figure out the dimensions and volume of cereal in a regular cereal box, then create a new cereal box shape that holds the same volume of cereal as a regular box does with it costing as little as possible using cardboard that's 5cents per inch.

Answer 31

But, how is the issue.

Answer 32

Okay any ideas?

Answer 33

no

Answer 34

What about you @MrCoolGuy do you have anything?

Answer 35

nope

Answer 36

okay then thanks

Answer 37

Here's my problem we have to make each side 5 cents but how do that? would you do 5*5=25/5=5?

Answer 38

We have to some how figure out the volume of cereal a regular box holds.. then find the cheapest way to make a new shaped box that can hold the same volume of cereal

Answer 39

Do you have a cereal box at home? I don't

Answer 40

yes

Answer 41

@Ms-Brains can you please help us

Answer 42

Can you get the cereal box? then we can figure out how to find the volume of cereal inside of it

Answer 43

I'm super sorry guys! I'm sorta busy, gimme a moment to look this question over, but I don't think I'll be much help.

Answer 44

sorry my brothers took off with it and its okay @Ms-Brains

Answer 45

How about I draw it would that work?

Answer 46

No:( we need the exact dimensions right off the box

Answer 47

okay let me see if my brother will give it back

Answer 48

We need the length, width, and height of the box so I can calculate the volume

Answer 49

Okay so I got it back but when you say you need to calculate the length, width, height will I have to measure the box?

Answer 50

Yes, I need you to get the length, width, and height of the box if it doesn't say it on there

Answer 51

okay give me a moment

Answer 52

Did you get 6.4 wide, and 11.6 for height? if so, the length and the height would be the same right?

Answer 53

Okay I got something different it might be because of my box tho

Answer 54

I looked it up on the internet, what did you get?

Answer 55

\[13\frac{ 1 }{ 4 } height \]
\[9\frac{ 3 }{ 4} width \]
3 length

Answer 56

do you have a normal sized cereal box? or a family sized? what kind?

Answer 57

giant size box is what it says

Answer 58

Okay, that's why you got something different, we'll use what I found since it's for the standard size one.

Answer 59

It'd probably be easy too since it's not fractions

Answer 60

Could I ask you how you found the length? because, length and heights not the same so I need to figure out the length some how

Answer 61

well I asked my brother and he told me the length would be how wide it is or maybe I didn't listen right i have no clue

Answer 62

3.9!

Answer 63

width * height would A=74.24

Answer 64

its l*w*h

Answer 65

True forgot L

Answer 66

289.53

Answer 67
