Answer:
10 ÷ 16
Step-by-step explanation:
The computation is shown below
Given that
Paul required to buy 5 by 8 pound of peanuts
And, the scale at the store is in sixteenths
So, the measure that should be equivalent is
Here the denominator should be 16 so it should be multiplied by 2
= 5 ÷ 8 × 2 ÷ 2
= 10 ÷ 16
Answer:
We would have

where " l " is length, " w" is width and "h" is height.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1
Remember that
Surface area for a box with no top = 
where " l " is length, " w" is width and "h" is height.
Step 2.
Remember as well that
Volume of the box = 
Step 3
We can now use lagrange multipliers. Lets say,

and

By the lagrange multipliers method we know that

Step 4
Remember that

and

So basically you will have the system of equations

Now, remember that you can multiply the first eqation, by "l" the second equation by "w" and the third one by "h" and you would get

Then you would get

You can get rid of
from these equations and you would get

And from those equations you would get

Now remember the original equation

If we plug in what we just got, we would have

Answer:
Sticks of butter : 2
Number of cookies : 40
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Given that :You need 3 sticks of butter for every 24 giant cookies you bake.</em>
<em>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</em>
<em>Sticks of butter Number of cookies</em>
<em> 3 24</em>
<em> x 16</em>
<em>5 y</em>
<em>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</em>
<em>Let the unknown be x and y..</em>
<em>Since you need 3 sticks of butter for every 24 giant cookies you back</em>
<em>Then 24/3 = 8</em>
<em>Since the number of cookies is 16 then 16/8 = 2</em>
<em>Thus x = 2</em>
<em>Next for y.</em>
<em>Since you need 3 sticks of butter for every 24 giant cookies you back</em>
<em>Then 5 * 8 = 40</em>
<em>Thus, y = 40</em>
<em>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</em>
<em>Completed table below:</em>
<em>Sticks of butter Number of cookies</em>
<em> 3 24</em>
2 <em> 16</em>
<em>5 </em><em>40</em>
<em>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</em>

Distance between points

and

is

Distance from H to B:
![[tex]d=\sqrt{(10-(-3))^2+(1-(-9))^2}=\sqrt{169+100}=\sqrt{269}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Btex%5Dd%3D%5Csqrt%7B%2810-%28-3%29%29%5E2%2B%281-%28-9%29%29%5E2%7D%3D%5Csqrt%7B169%2B100%7D%3D%5Csqrt%7B269%7D)
d=\sqrt{(1-(-3))^2+(10-(-9))^2}=\sqrt{16+361}=\sqrt{376}[/tex] units.
Distance from Z to B:

units.
Horse Z is closer to the barn.
(The conversion to meters is not required; the question does not ask for actual distances, so "units" is OK.)
