Question 961441: Janet is entering a bake-off and wants to make miniature pies. She's going to need 1.5 cups of flour for each individual pie and an additional 2.5 cups to make all the decorative crusts. Each contestant is required to use 4, but no more than 10 cups of flour. What is the maximum and minimum number of pies Janet can make?
Thank you:) Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! She needs 1.5 + 2.5 = 4 cups of flour
to make one pie
----------------
The least she can make is 1 pie
with 4 cups
-----------------------------
She can make 2 pies with 8 cups of flour
She can make 3 pies with 12 cups of flour
--------------------------
If she can't go over 10 cups of flour, then
the most pies she can make is 2 pies
