Answer:
(c, m) = (45, 10)
Step-by-step explanation:
A dozen White Chocolate Blizzards generate more income and take less flour than a dozen Mint Breezes, so production of those should clearly be maximized. Making 45 dozen Blizzards does not use all the flour, so the remaining flour can be used to make Breezes.
Maximum Blizzards that can be made: 45 dz. Flour used: 45×5 oz = 225 oz.
The remaining flour is ...
315 oz -225 oz = 90 oz
This is enough for (90 oz)/(9 oz/dz) = 10 dozen Mint Breezes. This is in the required range of 2 to 15 dozen.
Kelly should make 45 dozen White Chocolate Blizzards and 10 dozen Mint Breezes: (c, m) = (45, 10).

In the attached graph, we have reversed the applicable inequalities so the feasible region shows up white, instead of shaded with 5 different colors. The objective function is the green line, shown at the point that maximizes income. (c, m) ⇔ (x, y)
Answer:
5 + 8 + 11 + 10 = 34
Step-by-step explanation:
The lengths of the horizontal and vertical sides are easily determined. The slant side is seen to be the hypotenuse of a 3-4-5 triangle (times 2), so is 10 units long. The perimeter is the sum of the side lengths:
5 + 8 + 11 + 10 = 34
_____
You can always estimate the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle as being between 1 and 1.5 times the length of the <em>longest</em> side. Here, the longest side of the right triangle whose hypotenuse is of interest is 8 units, so the hypotenuse will be between 8 and 12 units long. That means the perimeter of the blue trapezoid will be between 32 and 36, a guess of sufficient accuracy to allow you to choose the correct answer.
In a figure like this, you can also measure the hypotenuse on the grid. Using a compass, ruler, or a piece of paper with a couple of marks, you can rotate the slant length so that it corresponds to a vertical or horizontal grid line. Then the length of it is easily estimated to good accuracy. (See the second attachment.) As we said in the previous paragraph, even poor accuracy is sufficient to choose the correct answer.
