Answer:
-3
Explanation:

= -3
So first make the improper fraction into a mixed number by taking out all the whole numbers from the numerator (3) and making sure the proper sign is in front of the answer (- 3) your remainder is the original numerator minus the product of the answer times the denominator: 24 - (3 • 7) = 24 - 21 = 3. Rewrite the mixed number.
The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.
Find the measurements (the lenght L and the width W) of an inscribed rectangle under the line y = -
x + 3 with the 1st quadrant of the x & y coordinate system such that the area is maximum. Also, find that maximum area. To get full credit, you must draw the picture of the problem and label the length and the width in terms of x and y.
Answer: L = 1; W = 9/4; A = 2.25;
Step-by-step explanation: The rectangle is under a straight line. Area of a rectangle is given by A = L*W. To determine the maximum area:
A = x.y
A = x(-
)
A = -
To maximize, we have to differentiate the equation:
=
(-
)
= -3x + 3
The critical point is:
= 0
-3x + 3 = 0
x = 1
Substituing:
y = -
x + 3
y = -
.1 + 3
y = 9/4
So, the measurements are x = L = 1 and y = W = 9/4
The maximum area is:
A = 1 . 9/4
A = 9/4
A = 2.25
4.4/20=0.22 per item
4.8/24=0.2 per item
Answer: 24 for 4.80
The correct answer is 10/15, simplified to 2/3.
