A cereal box manufacturer changes the size of the box to increase the amount of cereal it contains. The expressions 16+6.2n and 10+6.5n, where n is the number of smaller boxes, are both representative of the amount of cereal that the new larger box contains. How many smaller boxes equal the same amount of cereal in the larger box?

20 smaller boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Smaller Box = 10 + 6.5n

Larger Box = 16 + 6.2n

Required

Determine the number of small box in each box

To do this, we simply equate both expressions:

Collect Like Terms

Make n the subject

Hence, there are 20 smaller boxes

b. 2 and 4

step-by-step explanation:

answer:

total cost for tiles and paints is $924.  

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given that a community hall is in the shape of a cuboid. the hall is 40m long 15m high and 3m wide.

the paint will be required for 4 walls and ceiling.

let us find area of walls and ceiling.

therefore, the area of walls and ceiling is 1410 square meters.

given: cost for 10 litre of paint is $10 and 10 litre paint covers 25 square meter. therefore,

therefore, the total painting cost is $564.

tiles will be required for floor. let us find the area of floor.

given: 1m squared floor tiles costs $3. so,

therefore, the total tiles cost is $360.

now let us find combined total cost of tiles and paint.

therefore, the combined total cost of tiles and paint is $924.
