7 - 3 1/4 = (turn mixed number to improper fraction
7 - 13/4 = (common denominator is 4)
28/4 - 13/4 =
15/4 or 3 3/4 gallons remain in the tank
Answer:
<h3>
The width (side perpedicular to the barn):
<u>x = 8 m</u></h3><h3> The lenght (side parallel to the barn):
<u>y = 16 m</u> </h3>
Step-by-step explanation:
x - the width of the barn
She has 32 m of fencing so for the lenght remain (32-2x) m of fencing:
y = 32 - 2x
Area of the fencing: A = x•y
A(x) = x•(32 - 2x)
A(x) = -2x² + 32x ← quadratic function
The maximum value of quadratic function occurs at:
a = -2, b = 32
32-2x = 32 - 2•8 = 16
5/6 x 2 3/4 = 5/6 x (2x4+3)/4 = 5/6 x 11/4 = 55/24 = 2 7/24
That is a decrease of 78 ounces
