You started with a total of 28 muffins

<h3>How to determine the amount you started with?</h3>

From the question, the given parameters are:

Proportion carried away = 16 of the total muffins

Proportion carried away = 4/7 of the total muffins

The above parameters implies that

4/7 of the total muffins = 16

Represent the amount you started with x

So, we have the following representation

4/7 of x = 16

Express as products

4/7x = 16

Make x the subject

x = 7 * 16/4

Evaluate

x = 28

Hence, the total number of muffins is 28

Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Jessica divides the ribbon in three parts out of which length of one part = $3\frac{1}{2}$ inches

Let the length of other two parts = x inches

Total length of whole ribbon = 12 inches

$3\frac{1}{2}+x+x=12$

$3\frac{1}{2}+2x=12$

$2x=12-3\frac{1}{2}$

$2x=12-\frac{7}{2}$

$2x=\frac{24-7}{2}$

$2x=\frac{17}{2}$

$x=\frac{17}{4}$

$x=7\frac{1}{4}$ inches

Therefore, option A will be the answer.

You can use Pythagoras theorem to find the radius.

r^2 + 8^2 = 10^2

r^2 + 64 = 100

r^2 = 36

r = 6
