We are given that 8 oz of milk requires 15 oz of flour.
To know the amount of flour needed for 15 oz of milk, we will simply use cross multiplication as follows:
amount of flour needed = (15*15) / (8) = 28.125 oz
The perimeter is given by:
P = 2x + 2y = 28
The area is given by:
A = x * y
Writing the area based on x we have:
A (x) = x * (14-x)
Rewriting:
A (x) = 14x-x ^ 2
Deriving we have:
A '(x) = 14-2x
We equal zero and clear x:
14-2x = 0
x = 14/2
x = 7
We are now looking for the other dimension:
y = 14-x
y = 14-7
y = 7
Answer: The length and width of a rectangle that has the given perimeter and a maximum area are:
y = 7 meters
The answer is 58 .
5x5=25
2x2x2x2x2=32
25+32=57
57+1=58
She earned 11.5 per hour! And we know this because 247.25 divided by 21.5 = $11.5 per hour ( hope this helps:)
