Answer:

Dimensions of the rectangular plot will be 500 ft by 750 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the rectangular plot = x ft.

and the width of the plot = y ft.

Cost to fence the length at the cost $3.00 per feet = 3x

Cost to fence the width of the cost $2.00 per feet = 2y

Total cost to fence all sides of rectangular plot = 2(3x + 2y)

2(3x + 2y) = 6,000

3x + 2y = 3,000 ----------(1)

3x + 2y = 3000

      2y = 3000 - 3x

      y = \frac{1}{2}[3000-3x]

      y = 1500 - \frac{3x}{2}

Now area of the rectangle A = xy square feet

A = x[1500-\frac{3x}{2}]

For maximum area \frac{dA}{dx}=0

A' = \frac{d}{dx}(1500x-\frac{3}{2}x^{2}) = 0

1500 - 3x = 0

3x = 1500

x = 500 ft

From equation (1),

y = 1500 - \frac{3}{2}\times 500

y = 1500 - 750

y = 750 ft

Therefore, for the maximum area of the rectangular plot will be 500 ft × 750 ft.

two fencing 3(500+500) = $3000

other two fencing 2(750+750) = $3000

a cube has sides with the following number: 3,3,6,9,,7,8. what is the probability of getting a factor of 9 when rolled?
muminat

Answer:

The probability of rolling a factor of 9 is 1/2, or 50%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number 9's factors are 1, 3, and 9. Three of the six sides of the cube have a factor of 9. Therefore 3/6 of the sides are factors of nine.

Simplify 3/6 to 1/2 to get a probability of 50%.

How do i calculate the percentage difference between two numbers????
lawyer [7]

When finding the percent difference between two numbers, there are two ways you can do this.

1. The first way is how to calculate the percentage INCREASE of two numbers:

-The formula is Increase / Original Number × 100 = % increase

Step 1: Find out the difference between the two numbers you're comparing. New number - Original number = Increase.

Step 2: Divide the increase by the original number and then multiply your answer by 100. (If your answer is a negative number, then it is a percent decrease, not a percent increase.)

2. The second way is how to calculate the percentage DECREASE of two numbers:

Step 1: Find out the difference between the two numbers you're comparing. Original number - New number = Decrease.

Step 2: Divide the decrease by the original number and then multiply your answer by 100. Decrease ÷ Original Number × 100 = % Decrease. (If your answer is a negative number, then is is a percent increase, not a percent decrease.)
