Answer:
Perpendicular to base
Step-by-step explanation:
The cut creates two rectangular prisms (each angle must be 90 degrees)
The cut is perpendicular to the base
Pretzels:2×200=400 200×1/2=100 100+400=500cups
Dry Cereal: 4×200=800 200×1/2=100 800+100=900cups
Peanuts:2×200=400 200×1/4=50 400+50=450cups
Raisins:200×3/4=150cups
Answer:

And in order to solve this we have two possibilities:
Solution 1

And solving for T we got:


Solution 2
And the other options would be:


Step-by-step explanation:
For this case we can define the variable os interest T as the real temperature and we know that if we are 3 F more than the value of 98.6 we will be unhealthy so we can set up the following equation:

And in order to solve this we have two possibilities:
Solution 1

And solving for T we got:


Solution 2
And the other options would be:


4, 7 and 9 are mutually coprime, so you can use the Chinese remainder theorem.
Start with

Taken mod 4, the last two terms vanish and we're left with

We have
, so we can multiply the first term by 3 to guarantee that we end up with 1 mod 4.

Taken mod 7, the first and last terms vanish and we're left with

which is what we want, so no adjustments needed here.

Taken mod 9, the first two terms vanish and we're left with

so we don't need to make any adjustments here, and we end up with
.
By the Chinese remainder theorem, we find that any
such that

is a solution to this system, i.e.
for any integer
, the smallest and positive of which is 149.
