Answer:
{587, 1}
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum will be minimized when the second number is as close to zero as is allowed. If the numbers must be positive integers, the sum is minimized when the numbers are {587, 1}.
If the numbers may be real numbers, then the values that minimize the sum are {588-, 0+}
_____
The "cost" of taking a unit from the sum 588 and assigning it to the second number is that the sum of first and 3 times the second goes up by 3. In order to minimize that sum, the second number must be minimized.
1.477272727272727 I think this might be the answer.. devide 65 into 44 and youll get the answer
81 servings. I found this by making a ratio:
24 c 108 c
------- = -------
18 ser x
I then cross multiplied to get the equation: 24x=1,944. I solved this equation to find x, the number of servings in 108 cups, which was 81.
I remember doing this back in elementary school. I had a hard time with it too!
