Answer:
C. 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Since John has given 2/3 of his pencils to Roy, he has 1/3 of the total left. To find 1/4 of 1/3, multiply the numbers. 1/4(1/3) = 1/12. This means that he gave 1/12 of the beginning total to Maria. 2/3 can also be written as 8/12, and 1 can be written as 12/12. 12/12 - 8/12 = 4/12, and then 4/12 - 1/12 = 3/12. 3/12 can be simplified into 1/4
Let's first define the variables:
x = width
300 - 2x = long
The area will be:
A = (x) * (300 - 2x)
A = 300x - 2x²
We look for the maximum area, for this, we derive:
A '= 300 - 4x
We match zero:
0 = 300 - 4x
x = 300/4 = 75
Therefore, the width is:
x = 75 feet
The length is:
300 - 2x = 300 - 2 (75) = 300-150
150 feet
Answer:
Part A:
The maximum area will be:
A = (150) * (75) = 11250 square feet
Part B:
The dimensions are:
Length = 150 feet
width = 75 feet
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
product of 2 and 8= multiply
2x8=16
Divide by 8
16/8=2
