Answer: 6.8571 (Round as needed)
Hope this is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a simple ratio problem
Using the similarity statement we can say 14:12, (ab:pq)
That is our ratio.
So we do 14/12 = 8/x, we solve this using algebra to get our answer.
Hope this is correct.
Let
x = loaves of bread
y = batches of muffins
You must make a system of two equations with two unknowns that describe the problem
3.5x + 2.5y = 17 --- (1)
0.75x + 0.75y = 4.5 --- (2)
Resolving we have
x = 6-y (from (2))
replacing in (1)
3.5 (6-y) + 2.5y = 17
21 - 3.5y + 2.5y = 17
y = 21-17 = 4
Then substituting in (2)
x = 6-y = 6-4 = 2
Answer
Helena could bake:
2 loaves of bread
4 batches of muffins
18, you have 3 choices for the bottom because you can't use the small one, 3 choices for the next because you can now use the small one, 2 for the next and finally 1. You multiply all of them to get 18
draw a rectangle around it:
the widest part is from about -3 to 2 which is 5 units wide
height is from 3 to -4, which is 7 units
5*7 = 35
the top and bottom are angled so you can subtract a little for that
so I would estimate around 32 square units
