The quantities in the proportion you give add to 16 pounds, of which 2 pounds are cement. That is, cement constitutes 1/8 of the total weight.
For each yard of concrete, 4000 lb/8 = 500 lb of cement are used.
For 12.5 yards of concrete, 12.5 * 500 = 6,250 pounds of cement will be used.
_____
"yard" in this case is shorthand for "cubic yard".
Answer:
4050 sq. feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
Fencing is done on three sides of the rectangular area.
Given that there are 180 feet of fence available.
Then 2L + W = 180 ........(1), where L = length and W = width, of the rectangular plot.
Now, the area of the plot is given by A = LW
Now, from equation (1), we ger A = L (180 - 2L) ..... (2)
Then differentiating with respect to L in the both sides we get,
{Since condition for Area to be maximum is
}
⇒ L = 45 feet.
Now, from equation (2), we have
square feet.
