Answer:
Smaller number: 12
Larger number: 34
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the smaller number.
Let 3x - 2 represent the larger number (The larger number is two less than three times the smaller number, or x)
x + 3x -2 = 46
Add 3x + x:
4x - 2 = 46
Add 2 to both sides:
4x = 46 + 2
Add 46 + 2:
4x = 48
Divide both sides by 4:
4x/4 = 48/4
x = 12 is the smaller number
Since 12 is the smaller number, and the sum of the two numbers is 46, than the larger number must be 34.

Answer:
39 cups
Step-by-step explanation:
If we assume that the 3.5 cups of concentrate make 3.5+3 = 6.5 cups of tea, we can use the proportion ...
6.5/3.5 = x/21
to find the x cups of tea Ahab can make with 21 cups of concentrate.
Multiplying by 21, we get ...
x = 21(6.5/3.5) = 39
Ahab can make 39 cups of tea.

This suggests that he buys products with higher prices than other similar products. But this type of market(monopolistic competition) is great though, because there are lesser suppliers than in the pure competition where products are almost within the same price ranges. In a monopolistic competition, suppliers sell their products with a justifiable high price. This is also an advantage for the buyers, they would be able to consume and be satisfied with products of high quality.
It is to be noted that for this item, we more concern of the pounds of flour. The number of batches is calculated by dividing the total mass of flour used by the amount per batch. That is,
n = 86 lbs / (1 + 5/8 lbs/batch)
n = 52.92 batch
Thus, the chef makes approximately 53 batches of pasta.
