Ralph’s fill dirt and croissant shop in spencer makes both grand and petit croissants. each grand requires 1 ounce of flour and 2 ounces of butter, while each petit requires only 1 4 ounce of flour and 1 3 ounce of butter. it is the end of the month and ralph has only 4 ounces of flour and 6 ounces of butter. ralph calculates how many of each type of croissant he should make in order to use all his ingredients. determine the number of grand croissants ralph calculated?

1

Step-by-step explanation:

let G be the number of grand croisssants, and P the number of petit croissants :

we have that 1 ounce of flour and 2 ounces of butter result in one G.

additionally, we have that 1/4 ounce of flour and 1/3 ounce of butter result in one P.

Ralph has 4 ounces of flour and 6 ounces of butter, If he bakes more than 1 G then he will never use all of his ingredients!, let's see:

1 G:

he now has 3 ounces of flour, and 4 ounces of butter,

now we need to figure out how many P's we would obtain with such amounts:

let x be the number of P's

which is reasonable, Ralph can bake 12 P's,

now with more than 1 G:

2G:

Ralph has now 2 ounces of flour and 2 ounces of butter, now we have to figure out that x is the same using the remaining ingredients

This is impossible.

3G:

he runs out of butter.

There is the answer, he is able to bake 1 grand croissant and 12 petit croissants

b. 24 mm

step-by-step explanation:

use the pythagorean theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a^2 + 7^2 = 25^2

a^2 + 49 = 625

a^2 = 576

a = 24

answer: b. 24 mm

step-by-step explanation:

a.   since the profit made in 2012 is equal to the profit made in 2014, the profit is           symmetric about the line y = 120,000.

step-by-step explanation:

given that megan owns a clothing boutique.

the profits of 2010, 11, are recorded and shown as follows:

years since     2010 0     1     2     3       4       5

profits made in 1000's   39       84     111     120   111     84

we find that profit gradually increases form 2010 to 2013 upto 120,   then starts decreasing.

the profits for 2012 and 2014 are the same while that of 2011 and 2015 are also the same.

this shows that there is symmetry about the line profit = 120000

hence answer is:

a.   since the profit made in 2012 is equal to the profit made in 2014, the profit is           symmetric about the line y = 120,000.
