When one side of a quadrilateral is not to be fenced (ex. a river, as in this case), the optimal fencing to maximize the area is always to use half the fencing for the length, and one-fourth for each of the two widths
A) For 1000 ft of fencing which is to be used to cover 1 length and 2 widths:
L = 1000/2 = 500, and W = 1000/4 = 250. The optimal dimensions will be 250 x 500 ft.
B) This will result in an area of 250*500 = 125,000 sq. ft.
Answer: If a group wants to take a 3 hour ride they should choose Hobbs Mules.
Step-by-step explanation:
First figure out how much a 3 hour ride at McGee Mules would cost. Do this by setting up a proportion, then solving it.
Numerator = Time Denominator = Cost
= 
42 x 3 = 126/1 = 126 So a 3 hour ride with Mcgee should cost $126.
Next figure out how much a 3 hour ride at Hobbs Mules would cost by doing the same thing.
= 80 x 3 = 240/2 = 120 So a 3 hour ride with Hobbs should cost $120.
In conclusion, The group should choose Hobbs because they price is $6 cheaper.
