Answer 1

Answer: 32 steaks

Explanation:

Given data:

Each steak surface requirement = 0.25 square feet of the grill.

Maximum number of steaks mike can grill at

2.5 feet

2 feet and

3.5 feet

Solution.

At 2.5 feet

= 2.5 / 0.25

= 10 steaks

At 2 feet

= 2 / 0.25

= 8 steaks

At 3.5 feet

= 3.5 / 0.25

= 14 steaks

Total number of steaks

= 10 + 8 + 14

= 32 steaks
