The more pieces there are in a whole, the smaller the size of those pieces are.

Let's take 1/3 as an example. The number of pieces in a whole are all thirds. Each piece has equal parts. 1/3+1/3+1/3=3/3 which equals 1. All the parts are equals because they all add up to 1 whole. Hope this was helpful!!

Let the number of large bookcases be x and number of small bookcases be y, then
Maximise P = 80x + 50y;
subkect to:
6x + 2y ≤ 24
x, y ≥ 2

The corner points are (2, 2), (2, 6), (3.333, 2)
For (2, 2): P = 80(2) + 50(2) = 160 + 100 = 260
For (2, 6): P = 80(2) + 50(6) = 160 + 300 = 460
For (3.333, 2): P = 80(3.333) + 50(2) = 266.67 + 100 = 366.67

Therefore, for maximum profit, he should produce 2 large bookcases and 6 small bookcases.

Answer:

StartRoot 2 squared + 6 squared EndRoot

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

A(4,3) and B(-2,1)

we know that

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

$d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}$
