Each of the small pitcher will contain 4 cups of water while each of the large pitcher will contain 16 cups of water.

Therefore,  two equal-sized large pitchers will hold 32 cups of water while the two equal-sized small pitchers will hold 8 cups of water

<h3>Larger Pitchers</h3>

The 2 larger pitchers are equal in size.

Let

each size of the large pitcher = x

Two large size pitcher = 2x

<h3>Smaller Pitchers</h3>

The 2 smaller pitchers are equal in size

let

each size of the pitcher = y

Two small sized pitchers = 2y

<h3>Pitchers Capacities</h3>

The whole pitchers holds 40 cups of water. Therefore,

  • 2x + 2y = 40

The capacity of one large pitcher minus the capacity of one small pitcher is 12 cups. Therefore,

  • x - y  = 12

Combine the equations.

2x + 2y = 40

x - y = 12

x + y = 20

2y = 8

y = 8 / 2

y = 4

x - 4 = 12

x = 12 + 4

x = 16

So, if you are trying to convert lightyears to miles, you'll do so with this formula:
mi= (ly)* 5.9e^12, or 59,000,000,000,000. so it would be:
miles=(4.24)(5.9e^12)= roughly 2.5e^13   so Proxima Centauri is   250,000,000,000,000 miles from the Sun
To convert miles to lightyears, you'll just switch them around:
lightyears= (3.6e^6) / (5.9e^12)
Mercury is roughly 0.000006123880 lightyears from the Sun

Descending order for a polynomial means from highest value of exponent to the lowest value of exponent.

If you observe the options you can see that polynomial shown in option A is only listed in descending order i.e. starting from a maximum exponent of x and then moving towards lower exponents of x.

So answer to this question is option A
