The ration of white pair of socks and black pair of socks is 11:8 because Michael has already took one pair of the white socks so it's 11:8 between the two but to know the probability of one color you have to put it over the total amount of pair of socks so in total there are 19 now and 8 black pair of socks (were only looking for the probability of the black pair of socks and not the white)

8:19 is the ratio from black pair of socks to the total pairs of socks


You can also say 8/19 or 42% chance

Michael has already took white pair of socks, so that means that now in the drawer are left 11 pairs of white socks.

Therefore the propability of choosing a pair of black socks:
\frac{8}{19}

The penny size of a nail indicates the length of the nail. The penny size d is given by the literal equation d=4n−2, where n is
sleet_krkn [62]
D=4n-2, d+2=4n-2+2, d+2=4n
(d+2)/4=(4n)/4, 1/4d+1/2=n
n=1/4n+1/2

size 3=
n=1/4*3/1=3/4, 3/4+1/2=5/4=1 1/4
size 3=1 1/4

size 6=
n=1/4*6/1=6/4, 6/4+1/2=8/4=2
size 6=2

size 10=
n=1/4*10/1=10/4, 10/4+1/2=12/4=3
size 10=3

Kelly runs a restaurant that sells two kinds of desserts. Kelly knows the restaurant must make at least 25 dozen and at most 45
MissTica

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)
