Answer:

He can make only one batch of cookies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Just by mental math you can say he can make maximum one batch of cookies.

Total sugar = 10 cups

sugar used for lemonade = 2 cups

leftover sugar = 8 cups

For 1 batch of cookie sugar needed = 11/2

which means 5 and 1/2 cups

And he's just left with 8 cups of sugar after lemonade

8 - 5 1/2 = 2 1/2 which is not enough for 2nd batch

That means the maximum number of cookies batches is 1.

Another way to solve it by inequality:

2+Il/2 X < 10

11/2 X < 8

11X < 16

X < 1 6/11

So he can make only one batch of cookies.

The perimeter of a college athletic field is 96 meters and the length is 16 m more than the width. Find the length and width.

Andre45 [30]

In order to figure this out, you are going to do the math backwards. If the perimeter of the entire field is 96 meters, you will want to remove 16, which will give you 80 meters. You will then divide this by 2, giving you 40 meters. The width of the field will be 40 meters. That means that the length of the field is going to be 56 meters.

What are the zeros of the function f(x)=-x^2+13x-36

Galina-37 [17]

For this case we have the following function:

$f (x) = - x ^ 2 + 13x-36$

To find the zeros of the function we make $y = 0$ and solve for "x", then:

$0 = -x ^ 2 + 13x-36$

We multiply by -1 on both sides of the equation:

$0 = x ^ 2-13x + 36$

We factor the equation, for this we look for two numbers that, when multiplied, result in 36 and when added, result in -13. These numbers are -9 and -4.

$(-9) * (- 4) = 36\\-9-4 = -13$

Thus, the factored equation is:

$(x-9) (x-4) = 0$

Therefore, the roots are:

$x_ {1} = 9\\x_ {2} = 4$

Answer:

$x_ {1} = 9\\x_ {2} = 4$
