In order to solve this we need to make on part of both statements equal.
Since 12 is divisible by 6 lets do that.
Multiply everything in the second package by 2.
It then becomes 6 pairs for $12.
So now have have 6 or 8 pairs for $12.
You are getting a different amount for the same price therefore they are not proportional.
Answer:
i think it is ether 18 or 72 i am not 100% shere let me know if i was right
Step-by-step explanation:
<span>Let the extension of the length and width be x.
The new dimensions are: Length = 8+x
Width =3+x
Area = 104 ft squared
Area of a rectangle = Length x Width
Therefore,
(8+x)(3+x) = 104
x^2 +11x +24=104
x^2 +11x +24-104=0
x^2 +11x-80=0
Factorize using splitting the middle term method.
X^2 +16x-5x-80=0
x(x+16)-5(x+16)=0
(x-5)(x+16)=0
either x-5 = 0 or x+16=0
x=5 or x=-16
length and width measure cannot be negative.
Therefore, the extension of the length and width is 5 feet each.</span>
1 1/2 pounds
16 ounces = 1 pound
8 1/4 pounds = 132 ounces
132 ounces/ 6 cakes = 22
22 ounces = 1 1/2 pounds
