For this case we convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions:3 \frac {1} {4} = \frac {4 * 3 + 1} {4} = \frac {12 + 1} {4} = \frac {13} {4}\\2 \frac {1} {2} = \frac {2 * 2 + 1} {2} = \frac {4 + 1} {2} = \frac {5} {2}

Now, we propose a rule of three:

\frac {13} {4}pounds of blueberries ------------->\frac {5} {2}cups of muffin mix

7 pounds of blueberries -----------------------------> x

Where the variable "x" represents the number of cups of muffin mix that Honey should use.

x = \frac {7 * \frac {5} {2}} {\frac {13} {4}}\\x = \frac {\frac {35} {2}} {\frac {13} {4}}\\x = \frac {35 * 4} {2 * 13}\\x = \frac {140} {26}\\x = \frac {70} {13}\\x = 5.38

So approximately Honey should use 5 \frac {5} {13} cups of muffin mix

Answer:

Approximately Honey should use 5 \frac {5} {13} cups of muffin mix

A piece of cardboard measures 10 ft by 10 ft. Four equal squares of size x are removed from the corners. After removing the squa
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

The value of x would be \frac{5}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The dimension of the cardboard = 10 ft by 10 ft,

∵ After removing four equal squares of size x ( in ft ) from the corners,

The dimension of the resultant box would be,

Length = ( 10 - 2x ) ft,

Width = ( 10 - 2x ) ft,

Height = x ft,

The volume of box,

V=(10-2x)\times (10 - 2x)\times x=x(10-2x)^2 = x(100 - 40x + 4x^2)=100x - 40x^2 + 4x^3

Differentiating with respect to x,

V'=100 - 80x + 12x^2

Again differentiating with respect to x,

V''=-80 + 24x

For maxima or minima,

V'=0

\implies 100 - 80x + 12x^2 = 0

\implies 3x^2 - 20x + 25=0

By quadratic formula,

x=\frac{20\pm \sqrt{20^2-4\times 3\times 25}}{6}

x=\frac{20\pm \sqrt{400 - 300}}{6}

x=\frac{20\pm \sqrt{100}}{6}

x=\frac{20\pm 10}{6}

\implies x = \frac{10}{6}=\frac{5}{3}\text{ or } x = 5

For x = 5/3, V'' = negative,

While for x = 5, V'' = Positive,

Hence, the value of x would be 5/3 ft for maximising the volume.

PLEASE HELP AND IF ITS WORNG I WILL BE UPSET BECAUSE THIS QUESTION IS ABOUT WILL I DIE OR LIVE
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

B/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Jeez better not get this wrong... anyway, to start off the total is 19 books. Adding 5 then adding 3, She returned 8 books to the 19 she checked out. Uhhhh no clear answer.

NOT the first one cause 8 isn't the total. Don't think it would be the last one cause that's no fun. So it's either the second or the third one. The third one also makes no sense cause it only includes the returns from yesterday. I'm going with the second one
