Don't touch the center. It is already even.
Start anywhere by connecting a dotted line from one vertex to the next. To keep things so we know what we are talking about, go clockwise. Now you have 2 points that are Eulerized that were not before.
Skip and edge and do the same thing to the next two vertices. Those two become eulerized. Skip an edge and do the last 2.
Let's try to describe this better. Start at any vertex and number them 1 to 6 clockwise.
Join 1 to 2
Join 3 to 4
Join 5 to 6
I think 3 is the minimum.
3 <<<< answer
Answer:
≥ 420 boards
Step-by-step explanation:
Write the required relation between cost per board and "x" (the number of boards that must be sold).
143 + 30240/x ≤ 215 . . . . . . . note that the first term is <em>not</em> 143x
Subtract 143
30240/x ≤ 72
Multiply by x/72. This is a positive number because x is a positive number.
30240/72 ≤ x
420 ≤ x
At least 420 surfboards must be sold to limit the final cost per board to $215.
You can't convert that into a mixed number. Unless you are talking about 4/5 + 4/5. The answer would be 1 3/5.
Hope this helps! Answer: k = 2f/p
