Answer:2 pizzas

Step-by-step explanation:

2 2/3 and 2 5/6 can both be rounded to 3. Double that and you get 6. Since there were 8 pizzas originally,subtract 6 from 8 to get 2 remaining pizzas.

Answer:

The dimensions that minimize the cost of materials for the cylinders have radii of about 3.628 cm and heights of about 7.256 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

A cylindrical can holds 300 cubic centimeters, and we want to find the dimensions that minimize the cost for materials: that is, the dimensions that minimize the surface area.

Recall that the volume for a cylinder is given by:

$\displaystyle V = \pi r^2h$

Substitute:

$\displaystyle (300) = \pi r^2 h$

Solve for <em>h: </em>

$\displaystyle \frac{300}{\pi r^2} = h$

Recall that the surface area of a cylinder is given by:

$\displaystyle A = 2\pi r^2 + 2\pi rh$

We want to minimize this equation. To do so, we can find its critical points, since extrema (minima and maxima) occur at critical points.

First, substitute for <em>h</em>.

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned} A &= 2\pi r^2 + 2\pi r\left(\frac{300}{\pi r^2}\right) \\ \\ &=2\pi r^2 + \frac{600}{ r} \end{aligned}$

Find its derivative:

$\displaystyle A' = 4\pi r - \frac{600}{r^2}$

Solve for its zero(s):

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned} (0) &= 4\pi r - \frac{600}{r^2} \\ \\ 4\pi r - \frac{600}{r^2} &= 0 \\ \\ 4\pi r^3 - 600 &= 0 \\ \\ \pi r^3 &= 150 \\ \\ r &= \sqrt[3]{\frac{150}{\pi}} \approx 3.628\text{ cm}\end{aligned}$

Hence, the radius that minimizes the surface area will be about 3.628 centimeters.

Then the height will be:

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned} h&= \frac{300}{\pi\left( \sqrt[3]{\dfrac{150}{\pi}}\right)^2} \\ \\ &= \frac{60}{\pi \sqrt[3]{\dfrac{180}{\pi^2}}}\approx 7.25 6\text{ cm} \end{aligned}$
