Tina is making coffe for 18 people in a meeting. She plans for each person to get 2 cups of coffee. If each pot makes 12 cups, how pots of coffee does Tina need to make?

3 pots

Step-by-step explanation:

if there are 18 people and everyone gets 2 cups then that 36 cups of coffee. If each pot makes 12 cups the 12 times 3 is equal to 36. So Tina will need to make 3 pots.

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
