A pool table supply company is making a cardboard box to package new
cubes of pool cue chalk. Each cube of chalk is 1 cubic inch. The company
considers all the ways to arrange 16 cubes of the chalk.
16 inches by 1 inch by 1 inch
8 inches by 2 inches by 1 inch
4 inches by 4 inches by 1 inch
4 inches by 2 inches by 2 inches

Which arrangement of chalk would require the most cardboard for the box? How do you know?

they all require the same amount of card board because if you take all of the numbers times eachother they all come out as 16

Step-by-step explanation:

8(4)^8=72^feet to say that the total can conclude to 8(4) which as you know would mean 8 x 4. that equals 32w. 32^ could make a 72 answer as well. but your coefficent will remain w so your answer is 72w.
