a). Amount of cardboard required will be less when manufacturer doubles the width.

b). Volume of the new cracker box = 216 in³

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the Graham cracker box = volume of the rectangular prism formed

= Length × Width × Height

= 6 × 2 × 9

= 108 in³

a). To double the volume of the rectangular prism, manufacturer either doubles the height or doubles the width.

When manufacturer doubles the height,

Amount of cardboard required = surface area of the rectangular prism

= 2(lw + wh + hl)

= 2(6×2 + 2×18 + 18×6)

= 2(12 + 36 + 108)

= 2(66)

= 132 in²

When manufacturer doubles the width,

Surface area of the rectangular prism = 2(6×4 + 4×9 + 9×6)

= 2(24 + 36 + 54)

= 2(114)

= 228 in²

Therefore, amount of cardboard required will be less when manufacturer doubles the width.

b). Volume of the new Graham box = 2(Volume of the old box)

= 2 × 108

= 216 in³

There are two major tests of readiness for college: the act and the sat. act scores are reported on a scale from 1 to 36. the distribution of act scores in recent years has been roughly normal with mean µ = 20.9 and standard deviation s = 4.8. sat scores are reported on a scale from 400 to 1600. sat scores have been roughly normal with mean µ = 1026 and standard deviation s = 209. reports on a student's act or sat usually give the percentile as well as the actual score. the percentile is just the cumulative proportion stated as a percent: the percent of all scores that were lower than this one. tanya scores 1260 on the sat. what is her percentile (± 1)?
