-39 cm²/h

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the rectangle is A = hw where h = height and w = width.

So the rate of change of area with respect to time is

dA/dt = d(hw)/dt

dA/dt = hdw/dt + wdh/dt

Given that at an instant h = 3cm, w = 8 cm and dh/dt = + 11 cm/h and dw/dt = -9 cm/h(negative since it is decreasing)

So, dA/dt = hdw/dt + wdh/dt

dA/dt = 3 cm × (+11 cm/h) + 8 cm × (-9 cm/h)

dA/dt = 33 cm²/h - 72 cm²/h

dA/dt = -39 cm²/h

Answer: 440 grams for 1.54 is the better value
Explanation:
Take the price and divide by the number of grams
1.54 / 440 =0.0035 per gram
1.26 / 340 =0.003705882 per gram
0.0035 per gram < 0.003705882 per gram

Cost of 7 gallons=$24.50

Cost of 1 gallon=24.50/7=3.5

Cost of 15 gallons=15*3.5=52.5

Cost of 15 gallons will be $52.5

Here,

tip=18%of $32

tip=(18/100)*32

=0.18*32

=$5.76

Total payment=32+5.76=$37.76

Speed=Distance/time

Here,

distance=15m

time=1sec

speed=15/1=15m/sec

Distance=Speed*time

time=15min=15*60sec=900sec

Distance travelled in 15 min=15*900=13,500m

=13500/1000 km=13.5Km

The wood before starting =12 feet

Left wood=6 feet

Wood used till now=12-6=6 feet

Picture frame built till now= 6/(3/4)

=8 pieces

Therefore, till now 8 pieces have been made.

Area of rectangle= L*b

here,

L=12.4 cm

b= 8.8 cm

A= L*b

= 12.4 * 8.8 = 109.12 cm^2
