Tony bought 3 boxes of 1-inch nails for a total of 237 1-inch nails and 5 boxes of 2-inch nails that had equal amounts of nails. He bought a total of 507 nails. Find the number of nails in each box of 2-inch nails.

the number of nails in each box of 2-inch nails is 54

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of nails in each box of 2-inch nails.

Tony bought 3 boxes of 1-inch nails for a total of 237 1-inch nails. This means that the number of 1-inch nails in each box is 237/3 = 79

He also bought 5 boxes of 2-inch nails that had equal amounts of nails. He bought a total of 507 nails. This means that

237 + 5x = 507

5x = 507 - 237

5x = 270

x = 270/5

x = 54

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
