Option C:
Area of the remaining paper = (3x – 4)(3x + 4) square centimeter
Solution:
Area of the square paper = sq. cm
Area of the square corner removed = 16 sq. cm
Let us find the area of the remaining paper.
Area of the remaining paper = Area of the square paper – Area of the corner
Area of the remaining =
=
Using algebraic formula:
Area of the remaining paper = (3x – 4)(3x + 4) square centimeter
Hence (3x – 4)(3x + 4) represents area of the remaining paper in square centimeters.
option B) 3 pounds of beef is needed to make 6 times the recipe.
<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:
<u>step 1 </u>:
Mitch used 14 pounds of beef = 34 liters of beef strogonoff
'x' pounds of beef = 1 liter of beef strogonoff
<u>step 2</u> :
Rate = No. of pounds / No. of liters
(14 pounds / 34 liters) = (x pounds / 1 liter)
x = 14/34
x = 0.412
1 liter of beef strogonoff = 0.412 pounds of beef
<u>step 3</u> :
To make 6 times the recipe = 6 0.412
= 2.5 pounds of beef ( approximately 3 pounds)
