check the picture below.
namely, which of those intervals has the steepest slope, recall slope = average rate of change.
now, from the picture, notice, those two there are the steepest, the other three are leaning too much to the "ground".
so, from those two, which is the steepest anyway? let's check their slope.

To add fractions you want to make sure that the bottom numbers are the same so we have to make them the same, but we have to make sure that the fractions are unchanged so we get the correct answer
so if we find out what number that 9,7, and 5 can all multiply into. we find that 9 times 7 times 5 or 315 is the number that will work
so to get them to all be over 315, we must multiply each fraction by a form of 1/1 or x/x or (number)/(same numbe as on top)
so 7/9 times (35/35)=245/315
1/7 times (45/45)=45/315
3/5 times (56/56)=168/315
we add them togther
245/315+45/315+168/315=(245+45+168)/315=458/315
this simplifies to 1 and 143/315
Answer: 20 feet perimeter is the largest allowed
Step-by-step explanation: width=2.5 length=no more than 3x2.5
so find longest possible length allowed...
2.5x3=7.5
calculate largest perimeter allowed...
2(7.5+2.5)=20
