♣ asked: Elka wants to make beanbag chairs for her twins when they go away to college.She has a pattern for a shape like an 18 by 18 by 20-inch rectangular box.Her friend Liz used this pattern to make a chair for her daugher.Elka likes that chair, but doesn’t think it is nearly big enough to be comfortable.She is thinking of enlarging the pattern by a factor of 2.
a) The amount of filling needed for the chair Liz made was 3.75 cubic ft.How much filling will Elka need for her chair design?
b) The beanbag filling comes in packages of 2 cubic ft. for $8.99 a package.How much did it cost Liz to fill the chair she made? How much would it cost Elka to fill the two enlarged chairs for her twins?
c) Elka thinks that it will cost too much to make the chairs she had planned.She decides to enlarge the pattern only by a factor of 1.5, instead.How much will the filling cost these two chairs?
=) please help 10 points…..
