<span>6 servings ... 1/2 cup of butter
8 servings .... x cup of butter
We would like to know what is the value of the x.

</span>6 * x = 8 * 1/2<span>
6 * x = 4 /6
x = 4/6
x = 2/3

Result: Nancy needs</span> 2/3 cup of butter for 8 servings.

A cone-shaped paper drinking cup is to be made to hold 33 cm3 of water. find the height and radius of the cup that will use the

alekssr [168]

The height and radius that will give us the smallest amount of paper, should have should have the perfect dimension, in that the diameter should be equal to the height. thus let the diameter be x, the height will be x and the radius will be x/2
thus the volume of the cone will be:
V=1/3πr^2h
=1/3*π*(x/2)^2*x
=0.262x^3
hence the value of x will be:
33=0.262x^3
x^3=125.95
x=(125.95)^(1/3)
x=5.0126=5.01 cm
thus the diameter=height=5.01cm

Answer:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&-1&\\-1&1/2\\\end{array}\right]$

Step-by-step explanation:

The matrix system for the linear equations: x + 2y = 8, 2x + 6y = 9

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&2&\\2&6\\\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}8\\9\end{array}\right]$
