Question

Your work for company ships flour to customers in cubic boxes of various sizes. Set of boxes you have available all have sides with lengths in inches that are even but not divisible by 3, eg(2,4,8,14,16,20,etc).

Write Matlab program that prompts user for an amount of flour in cubic inches and finds the lenghts of the side of the smallest box you have that is large enough to ship the flour. Display the box size to use.

(This question is Matlab subject, could you help me to write in Matlab software through computer to find the answer)

thanks

Answer 1

flour = input('Enter amount of flour in cubic inches: ');

side = ceil((flour)^(1/3));

if mod(side, 2) == 1

side = side + 1;

end

if mod(side, 3) == 0

side = side + 1;

if mod(side, 2) == 1

side = side + 1;

end

end

fprintf('The lenght of the sides of the smallest box you have that is large enough to ship the flour: %d', side);
