Answer:

  • 10 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Victoria collects:</u>

  • 8x + 56

<u>Javier collects:</u>

  • 12x + 16

<u>They get same amount:</u>

  • 8x + 56 = 12x + 16
  • 12x - 8x = 56 - 16
  • 4x = 40
  • x = 10

A 100 inch strip of sheet metal starting out 16 inches wide is to be made into a small open trough (open top and ends) by turnin
daser333 [38]

Answer:

4 inches should be turned up on both sides.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, create a situation in which we give the amount turned up on each side as x. Then give the amount that isn't turned up as 16 - 2x (since 2x is the amount turned up). Now we can find the area by multiplying the 3 measurements.

100 * x * (16 - 2x) = MAX

100 * (16x - 2x^2) = MAX

-200x^2 + 1600x = MAX

Now that we have a quadratic function, we can find the maximum value of x by using the vertex formula for x values (-b/2a).

x = -b/2a

x = -1600/2(-200)

x = -1600/-400

x = 4

explain how you would find how many 1 1/2 cup servings there are in a pot that contains 22 1/2 cups of soup.
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Step-by-step explanation:

multiply the 1 1/2 by 2 to get 3.

find the closest number that is divisible by 3

3*7 is 21.

We now have to multiply 7 by 2 since we did that to our mixed number to get a whole number.

There is still a 1 1/2 left over. Simply add 1 to 14.
