UPS defines the size of a box to be equal to its length plus twice its width plus twice its height: size = length + 2 * width + 2 * height In order to avoid being charged freight charges, the size of a package has to be less than 165" and the length has to be less than 108". You work for a wine producer who ships wine bottles in rectangular boxes that are 13" x 4" x 4". The individual boxes are packaged into larger rectangular boxes for shipping. In order to go through the company's production line, the length of the boxes has to be 13". The company wants to minimize its shipping costs so they need to send as few of the large boxes as possible. What size box will hold the maximum number of the smaller boxes?
Unitary Method
The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.
Speed, Time, and Distance
Imagine you and 3 of your friends are planning to go to the playground at 6 in the evening. Your house is one mile away from the playground and one of your friends named Jim must start at 5 pm to reach the playground by walk. The other two friends are 3 miles away.
Profit and Loss
The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.
Units and Measurements
Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experiments to set up the devices.
