Answer:
1.5 batches take 12.375 hour
Step-by-step explanation:
The first batch takes 10.5 hours, meaning only .5 batches are left. You then take the time that each new full batch takes (4.25) and divide it by 2 as you only need half of one batch. Meaning 0.5 of a batch takes 2.125 hours. You then take the time of the two batches (10.5, and 2.125) and add them, leaving you with 12.625. Meaning 12.375 is the most viable answer.
25=
[{50 divided by 5} plus 3]times 2 -1=25
10 is the least common denominator
16 x 8 = 128 square feet (area of rectangle)
shaded:
8 x 2 = 16
10 x 1 = 10
1/2 (3)(10) = 15
total shaded area: 16+10+15 = 41 square feet
total non-shaded area = 128 - 41 = 87 square feet
answer
area of the shaded region = 41 square feet
area of the non - shaded region = 87 square feet
