Use half the fencing in each direction: 3 segments in one direction, 2 in the other. 

<span>W * L = 24 million </span>
<span>3 W = 2 L </span>

<span>W * 3 W / 2 = 24 million </span>
<span>W^2 = 16 million </span>
<span>W = 4000 </span>
<span>L = 6000 </span>

<span>This shortcut (3 W = 2 L) </span>
<span>is derived from total fencing = 3W + 2L </span>
<span>and W*L = 24 million </span>
<span>total fencing = 3W + 2 * 24 million / W </span>
<span>and taking the derivative, setting to 0, and solving for W</span>

How to find the mean for negative numbers
statuscvo [17]

You can find the mean of negative numbers just the same as for positive numbers. It doesn't hurt for the mean to be negative.

For example, with the number -9, -5, -4, -3, -1 you can find the mean jsut as any other numbers

-9+-5+-4+-3+-1=-22

-22/5=-4.4

the mean for those set of numbers is -4.4

Kevin is an auto mechanic. He spends 2 hours when he replaces the shocks on a car and 2 hours when he replaces the brakes. He wo
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

Kevin should do 21 shock replacements and 6 brake replacements every week to maximize his weekly income.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since either job takes 2 hours to complete, the total number of jobs that Kevin can complete working 54 hours a week is:

n=\frac{54}{2}\\n=27\ jobs

Since replacing shocks gives him a greater income, he should aim to do as little break replacements as possible and as many shock replacements as possible in order to maximize income.

If he has to complete at least 6 break replacements out of the 27 jobs possible, the number of shock replacements he should do is:

S=27-6\\S=21

Kevin should do 21 shock replacements and 6 brake replacements every week to maximize his weekly income.
