Method 1:
Convert the mixed number to the improper fraction:

Make the product:

<em>canceled 2</em>

Method 2:


<em>use the distributive property a(b + c) = ab + ac</em>

Answer:
let us assume the 3 digit number be 984
To check weather the number is divisible by 3 and 4 then when should know the divisibility rule of 3 and 4.
A number is said to be divisible by 3 when the sum of each digit of the number is divisible by 3. Example 9+8+4 = 21 is divisible by 3 hence the number is divisible by 3.
A number is said to be divisible by 4 when the last two digit is divisible by 4 like 84 is divisible by 4 hence 984 is divisible by 4.

In the first octant, we assume

, so we can ignore the caveats above. Now,

so that the only critical point in the region of interest is (1, 2, 2), for which we get a maximum value of

.
We also need to check the boundary of the region, i.e. the intersection of

with the three coordinate axes. But in each case, we would end up setting at least one of the variables to 0, which would force

, so the point we found is the only extremum.
yes, I'm pretty shure they do
