Tony is opening a pizza restaurant and needs to determine the amounts of ingredients he will use in his pizzas. He wants the amount of dough for a medium pizza to be 3/2 times the amount of dough for a small pizza. And, he wants the amount of dough for a large pizza to be 5/2 times the amount of dough for a small pizza. Also, the amount of dough used for one large pizza should to be equal to the amount of dough used for one medium and one small pizza. So, he needs to determine how much dough to use for a small pizza. Use this information to complete the following tasks.

If the amount of dough for a small pizza is S, for a large pizza is L and for a medium pizza is M, we have the equations:

M = (3/2)*S

L = (5/2)*S

L = M + S

First, we can convine the second and third equation and get:

(5/2)*S = M + S

and now we can replace M by the first equation:

(5/2)S = (3/2)*S + S = 5/2 S

so we have a trivial equation, S can be any number, this means that the system of equation is not well constructed.

For example, if S = 1Kg then:

M = (3/2)kg

L = (5/2)kg = (3/2)kg + 1 kg = 5/2kg

step-by-step explanation:

the original amount doesn't ''re just looking for the time it takes for 1/2 of the substance to we have

(1/2) =)     take the ln   of both sides

ln (1/2)   = )   and we can write

ln(1/2) = ) lne     and lne   = 1     so we have

ln(1/2) = -.1092t     divide both sides by -.1092

t = ln(1/2)/-.1092 = about 6.347 days = about 6.3 days (rounded)
