Answer:
850 leaves were on the tree initially.
Same as;
2/5 + 1/5 + 3/10 + (remaining leaves 1/10) = 1
4/10 + 2/10 + 3/10 + 1/10
10 x 85 = 850
Step-by-step explanation:
2/5 wk 1 fall off
1/5 wk 2 fell off
3/5 x 1/2 = 3/10 wk 2 stayed on tree
1/3 x 3/10 = 1/10 wk 3 stayed on
2/5 + 1/5 + 3/10 = 9/10 = 0.9 fall off in total
10/10 - 9/10 = 1/10 left on tree
1/10 = 85
10 x 85 = 850 leaves.
Answer:
n = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
6(1+n)=8n-3(n-7)
Distribute
6 +6n = 8n -3n +21
Combine like terms
6+6n = 5n +21
Subtract 5n from each side
6+6n-5n = 5n-5n +21
6 +n = 21
Subtract 6 from each side
6-6+n = 21-6
n = 15
Answer:
the new scale is the same length as the original scale
If you notice the picture below, the amount of fencing, or perimeter, that will be used will be 3w + 2l
now

solve for "w", to see what critical points you get, and then run a first-derivative test on them, for the minimum
notice the

so. you can pretty much skip that one, though is a valid critical point, the width can't clearly be 0
so.. check the critical points on the other
