Apound of popcorn is popped for a class party. the popped corn is put into small popcorn boxes that each hold 130 popped kernels. there are 1,450 kernels in a pound of unpopped popcorn. if all the boxes are filled except for the last box, how many boxes are needed and how many popped kernels are in the last box? explain how you get the answer

12 boxes are needed  in all.

Last box will contain only 20 kernels.

Given is :

The popped corn is put into small popcorn boxes that each hold 130 popped kernels.

There are 1450 kernels in a pound of un popped popcorn.

If all the boxes are filled except for the last box, then how many boxes are needed?

Number of boxes  = Total number of kernels/Number of kernel in each box

=>

Therefore, a total of 11+1 = 12 boxes are needed as 11.15 is more than 11.

And the last box will contain = kernels.

Therefore, the last box will have 20 kernels.

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
