Sam read 6 chapters in 2 hours. If he continues to read at this same rate, how many chapters will he read in 1 day?
1 answer:
Answer:
He will read 72 chapters in 1 day
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us use the ratio method to solve this question
∵ Sam read 6 chapters in 2 hours
∵ He continues to read at this same rate for 1 day
→ We must change the day to hours
∵ 1 day = 24 hours
∴ We need to find how many chapters he will read in 24 hours
→ Chapter : Hour
→ 6 : 2
→ x : 24
→ By using cross multiplication
∵ x × 2 = 6 × 24
∴ 2x = 144
→ Divide both sides by 2
∵ =
∴ x = 72
∴ He will read 72 chapters in 1 day

Answer:
$1020
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x and y represent the numbers of Platter A and Platter B the organizer needs to purchase, respectively. The given conditions can be summarized as ...
x + 2y ≥ 80 . . . . . . 80 or more hamburgers are required
3x + y ≥ 95 . . . . . . 95 or more hot dogs are required
5x +8y ≥ 380 . . . . 380 or more chicken wings are required
16x +20y = c . . . . . c must be minimized

It is useful to graph these inequalities, and look for the vertex of the feasible region that is closest to the origin. That vertex is (x, y) = (20, 35). The other vertex that is close to the origin is (60, 10). The cost of that order would be $1310.
The value of an order of 20 Platter A and 35 Platter B is ...
20×$16 +35×$20 = $320 +700 = $1020
The minimum cost of the picnic food is $1020.
