AW-A1-M6

Your donut shop has perfected a method for the perfect glazed icing by slowly mixing whole milk to 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 2 ounces per minute, as depicted by the two equations below:

 S=10+10t

M=10+2t

Where S represents the number of ounces of sugar, M represents the ounces of milk, and t represents the time in minutes.

Where S represents the number of ounces of sugar, M represents the ounces of milk, and t represents the time in minutes.
