Answer:

the dimension of the poster = 90 cm length and 60 cm  width i.e 90 cm by 60 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given question.

Let p be the length of the of the printed material

Let q be the width of the of the printed material

Therefore pq = 2400 cm ²

q = \dfrac{2400 \ cm^2}{p}

To find the dimensions of the poster; we have:

the length of the poster to be p+30 and the width to be \dfrac{2400 \ cm^2}{p} + 20

The area of the printed material can now be:  A = (p+30)(\dfrac{2400 }{p} + 20)

=2400 +20 p +\dfrac{72000}{p}+600

Let differentiate with respect to p; we have

\dfrac{dA}{dp}= 20 - \dfrac{72000}{p^3}

Also;

\dfrac{d^2A}{dp^2}= \dfrac{144000}{p^3}

For the smallest area \dfrac{dA}{dp }=0

20 - \dfrac{72000}{p^2}=0

p^2 = \dfrac{72000}{20}

p² = 3600

p =√3600

p = 60

Since p = 60 ; replace p = 60 in the expression  q = \dfrac{2400 \ cm^2}{p}   to solve for q;

q = \dfrac{2400 \ cm^2}{p}

q = \dfrac{2400 \ cm^2}{60}

q = 40

Thus; the printed material has the length of 60 cm and the width of 40cm

the length of the poster = p+30 = 60 +30 = 90 cm

the width of the poster = \dfrac{2400 \ cm^2}{p} + 20 = \dfrac{2400 \ cm^2}{60} + 20  = 40 + 20 = 60

Hence; the dimension of the poster = 90 cm length and 60 cm  width i.e 90 cm by 60 cm.

A car travels 500 miles at an average speed of 60 MPH on the return trip the same route that it travels 50 miles per hour how lo
xxMikexx [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

it is not clear - is 500 miles the whole round trip, or is it only the trip in one direction ?

and do we need the time for the whole round trip, or only for the return trip ?

in any case, always remember,

speed = distance/time

therefore, to get time, we need to divide distance by speed :

distance / distance/time = time×distance/distance = time

so, let's calculate all these different scenarios :

1. 500 miles is only one direction, and we measure only the time going back with 60 mph :

500 / 60 = 50/6 = 25/3 = 8 1/3 = 8 hours 20 minutes.

as 1/3 of 1 hour = 1/3 of 60 minutes = 60/3 = 20 minutes.

2. 500 miles is only one direction (going 1000 miles altogether), and we measure the time going to with 50 mph and going back with 60 mph :

500 / 50 = 10 hours

500 / 60 = 8 hours 20 minutes

the whole round trip takes 18 hours 20 minutes.

3. 500 miles is the whole round trip. so, 250 miles is one direction. and we measure only the time going back with 60 mph :

250 / 60 = 25/6 = 4 1/6 = 4 hours 10 minutes.

as 1/6 of 1 hour = 1/6 of 60 minutes = 60/6 = 10 minutes.

4. 500 miles is the whole round trip. so, 250 miles is one direction. and we measure the time going to with 50 mph and back with 60 mph :

250 / 50 = 5 hours

250 / 60 = 4 hours 10 minutes

the whole round trip takes 9 hours 10 minutes.

did you notice ?

when going only half the distance, also the time it takes to travel that distance is only half (or vice versa - double). because the ratio distance/time is always the same.

Alla [95]

Answer:

2 cups of peanut butter

Step-by-step explanation:

Mrs. Carter's famous peanut butter cookies call for 1 cup of peanut butter for every 1/2 of a cup of oil. Today, she wants to make a huge batch with 1 cup of oil. How much peanut butter should she use?

From the above question:

1/2 cup of oil = 1 cup of peanut butter

1 cup of oil = x

Cross Multiply

1/2x = 1 × 1

x = 1 ÷ 1/2

x = 1 × 2/1

x = 2 cups of peanut butter.

Therefore, for huge batch with 1 cup of oil, she should use 2 cups of peanut butter.
