Paul is making bread using a recipe. The amount of flour he uses is proportional to the number of loaves of bread. He uses 1114

cups of flour to make 5 loaves of bread. If Paul used 18 cups of flour, and then sold the loaves of bread he made at a bake sale for $2.50 each, how much money would Paul make from his bread sales?

Answer:

$20

Step-by-step explanation:

Paul is making bread using a recipe. The amount of flour he uses is proportional to the number of loaves of bread. He uses 11 1/4 cups of flour to make 5 loaves of bread. If Paul used 18 cups of flour, and then sold the loaves of bread he made at a bake sale for $2.50 each, how much money would Paul make from his bread sales?

Step 1

Find out how many loaves of bread he can produce from 18 cups of flour

11 1/4 cups of flour = 5 loaves of bread

18 cups of flour = x loaves of bread

Cross Multiply

11 1/4 cups × x loaves = 18 cups × 5 loaves

x loaves = 18 cups × 5 loaves/ 11 1/4 cups

x loaves = 90 ÷ 11 1/4

x loaves = 90 ÷ 45/4

x loaves = 90 × 4/45

x loaves = 8 loaves of bread

He can produce 8 loaves of bread from 18 cups of flour.

Step 2

We are told that:

1 loaf of bread costs $2.50

Hence,

1 loaf of bread = $2.50

8 loaves of bread = $x

Cross Multiply

$x = 8 loaves of bread × $2.50

$x = $20

Therefore, Paul made $20 from his bread sales

Factorise and solve : x^3-x^2-4x+4
Alika [10]

(x - 1)(x - 2)(x + 2)

note that the sum of the coefficients 1 - 1 - 4 + 4 = 0

thus x = 1 is a root and (x - 1 ) is a factor

dividing x³ - x² - 4x + 4 by (x - 1)

x³ - x² - 4x + 4 = (x - 1)(x² - 4 ) (note (x² - 4 ) is a difference of squares )

x³ - x² - 4x + 4 = (x - 1)(x - 2)(x + 2)

(x - 1)(x - 2)(x + 2 ) =0

x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 1

x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2

x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2

solutions are x = 1 or x = ± 2
