A farmer wishes to enclose a rectangular pasture with 1200 ft of fence. He needs to divide this rectangle into two smaller recta
ngles by running a fence down the middle of it parallel to the other two sides. He has 1200 ft of fence with which to do this. Find the maximum total area of the enclosure
remember that when you multiply 3/4 by 4/3 you get 12/12=1 so it simplifies remember that you can do anything to an equation as long as you do it to both sides
3/4 ties n=1 multiply both sides by 4/3 to clar fraction 12/12 times n=4/3 times 1 1 times n=4/3 n=4/3
