Answer:

it would take 2.25 1/3 cups if you are looking for an exact answer, or if you are looking for the minimum amount of 1/3 cups necessary to make 3/4 it would be 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve this by cross multiplying 1/3 and 3/4

You will get 9/4 which simplifies to 2 1/4 or 2.25

Answer:

The possible parking lengths are 45.96 feet and 174.031 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the length of rectangular plot and y be the breadth of rectangular plot

A rectangular parking lot must have a perimeter of 440 feet

Perimeter of rectangular plot =2(l+b)=2(x+y)=440

2(x+y)=440

x+y=220

y=220-x

We are also given that an area of at least 8000 square feet.

So, $xy \leq 8000$

So, $x(220-x) \leq 8000$

$220x-x^2 \leq 8000$

So, $220x-x^2 = 8000\\-x^2+220x-8000=0$

General quadratic equation : $ax^2+bx+c=0$

Formula : $x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

$x=\frac{-220 \pm \sqrt{220^2-4(-1)(-8000)}}{2(-1)}\\x=\frac{-220 + \sqrt{220^2-4(-1)(-8000)}}{2(-1)} , \frac{-220 - \sqrt{220^2-4(-1)(-8000)}}{2(-1)}\\x=45.96,174.031$
