Let
x ----------> the height of the whole poster
<span>y ----------> the </span>width<span> of the whole poster
</span>
We need to minimize the area A=x*y

we know that
(x-4)*(y-2)=722
(y-2)=722/(x-4)
(y)=[722/(x-4)]+2

so
A(x)=x*y--------->A(x)=x*{[722/(x-4)]+2}
Need to minimize this function over x > 4

find the derivative------> A1 (x)
A1(x)=2*[8x²-8x-1428]/[(x-4)²]

for A1(x)=0
8x²-8x-1428=0
using a graph tool
gives x=13.87 in

(y)=[722/(x-4)]+2

y=[2x+714]/[x-4]-----> y=[2*13.87+714]/[13.87-4]-----> y=75.15 in

the answer is
<span>the dimensions of the poster will be
</span>the height of the whole poster is 13.87 in
the width of the whole poster is 75.15 in

The scale on a drawing of a swimming pool is 1cm=4m. What is the actual length of the pool if it's 10cm long on the drawing
Usimov [2.4K]

1 cm was multiplied by ten, so wee need to do that on the other side too.

1 times 10 = 10 cm, so 4 times 10 = 40 meters,
So your answer is 40 meters. Hope it helps!

How do you change 0.16666 in a fraction
Natasha_Volkova [10]
Here's how to convert 0.16666 to a fraction...

There is not much that can be done to figure out how to write 0.16666 as a fraction, except to literally use what the decimal portion of your number, the .16666, means.

Since there are 5 digits in 16666, the very last digit is the "100000th" decimal place.

So we can just say that .16666 is the same as 16666/100000.

The fraction 16666/100000 is not reduced to lowest terms. We can reduce this fraction to lowest
terms by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2.

Why divide by 2? 2 is the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD)
or Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of the numbers 16666 and 100000.
So, this fraction reduced to lowest terms is 8333/50000

So your final answer is: 0.16666 can be written as the fraction 8333/50000

60 is what percent of 48?
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

80%

Inverted = 125%

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the fraction to the most simpliest number, which is 4/5. 4/5 = 80%.

If it’s inverted (as in 60/48), the most simpliest number is 5/4. 5/4 = 125%.

WILL MAKE BRAINLIEST
Tasya [4]
If Hannah gives her younger sister 3 shirts, it does not matter what order she hands them to her. No matter the order, it will still be the same group of 3 shirt. Since order is not important this problem can be solved using a combination. 
Specifically, we are asked to find 8C3 (sometimes called "8 choose 3"). This is a fraction. In the numerator, we start with 8 and count down 3 numbers. In the denominator, we start with 3 and count all the way down to 1.
your answer is 56
