Answer:
3 ounces of water
Step-by-step explanation:
If 6 ounces of water dripped in 10 minutes, then that means that in HALF the time (5 minutes), HALF the amount of water would drip, which is 3 ounces.
Assuming the equation is x^2 + y^2 = 1, then that's a circle, with radius 1, centered on the origin [0,0].
So there are two tangents at x = 0. They are y = 1, and y = -1 (horizontal lines).
There is one tangent at x = 1. It is x = 1 (a vertical line).
There is no tangent at x = 35, because the original equation has no solution at x = 35.
In order to make a fraction as large as possible, you want the numerator to be large, and the denominator to be small.
Using the counting numbers, the smallest denominator (x - y) you can make is ' 1 '.
Now you just have to make the numerator large. You do that simply by using the largest two numbers you have available . . . 49 and 50 .
Now the fraction is (49 + 50) / 1 = 99 .
