Answer:
D. He needs 6 cups of flour for 3 batches
Ok so I like to go in steps with these questions- first draw a picture and identify your variables.
W=width
L= 3w-1
Now we know that length times width gets us area so we plug in our variables into the area equation.
200 = w(3w-1)
When you foil that equation you end up with a quadratic : 3w^2-w-200 = 0
Either factor that or use the quadratic formula to get
w= 8.33 and w= -8
Since you can't have a negative dimension you need to use 8.33 and plug it back into your length equation.
Final answer:
w= 8.33ft
l= 23.99ft
*Now I simplified the decimals a little bit so you end up with 199.8ft^2 for the area so just add a few decimals on here and there*
Answer: 24
Step-by-step explanation:
It will cost $33.
Since wood cost $ .60 sq ft, you can assume she needs to buy 55 sq ft because she will need to buy enough to have 54.3 square ft.
55 x $ .60 = $33
$32.58 would be he total for the 54.3 sq ft and .42 cents would be for the left over .7 sq ft that she didn’t use
