Scenario
Your donut shop has perfected a method for the perfect glazed icing by slowly mixing whole milk with confectioner’s sugar while exposed to low heat. Your mixing tank starts with 10 fluid ounces of milk and 10 ounces of sugar. You continue adding sugar at a rate of 10 ounces per minute and milk at 1 ounce per minute, as depicted by the two equations below:
Where S represents the number of ounces of sugar, M represents the ounces of milk, and t represents the time in minutes. The ideal icing will have a ratio of 8 ounces of sugar per ounce of milk.
Assessment Instructions
Show and explain all steps in your responses to the following parts of the assignment. All mathematical steps must be formatted using the equation editor.
Part 1: Create a rational equation to represent the concentration (C) in ounces of sugar per ounce of milk.
Part 2: Find the domain of the concentration equation.
Part 3: Will we ever encounter a time when the rational equation is undefined? Explain your reasoning.
Part 4: Calculate the concentration after five minutes.
Part 5: How long does it take to reach a concentration of 8 ounces of sugar per ounce of milk?

Scenario
A friend has given you left-over landscaping bricks. You decide to make a garden bed and surround it with the bricks. There are 62 bricks, and each brick is 8 inches long. You would like the garden bed to be slightly more than twice as long as it is wide, as shown in the diagram below. You have also given yourself a budget of $125 for additional materials should you need them. Your local home improvement store sells the same bricks for $1.98 per brick. The displayed sides present the number of bricks on each side, where x is a number of bricks.
this is 2x+1
Show and explain all steps in your responses to the following parts of the assignment. All mathematical steps must be formatted using the equation editor.
Part 1: Write an equation representing the perimeter of the garden bed.
Part 2: Calculate how many bricks are used on each side.
Part 3: Determine the length of each side.
Part 4: Write an inequality that represents how many bricks can be purchased within your budget.
Part 5: Will you be able to make another complete layer of bricks on top and stay within your budget?
