Yes. Their sum can be equal to 1 because if they have the same denominator they will add easier like 3/4 and 1/4 or 1/2 and 1/2. All of them have the same denominator and still equal 1
Answer:
8 pieces of wood should be put along each side of the chessboard
Step-by-step explanation:
Here in this question, we are interested in knowing the the number of pieces of wood that should be put along each side of the cheese board.
Firstly, to know the number of pieces of wood to use, we need to divide the area of the board by the area of each piece of wood
Mathematically that would be 64 square inches/ 1 square inch = 64 pieces of wood
64 pieces of wood would be needed to complete the cheeseboard.
The number of pieces to put along each side of the cheese board will be √64.
This is because the shape of a chessboard is square.
Thus the number of pieces to put on each side will be √64 = 8
The total number of gifts = x+y.
The inequality is:

Key chains cost $1, Magnets $0.50
Total Cost = x + 0.5y
Inequality is:

Without graphing you can solve system by using substitution:

This is one solution where the maximum x value is given.
So the most keychains that can be purchased is 16. However, because magnets are cheaper, more can be purchased as long as cost remains under 20.
If you solve both inequalities for "y", you get the upper and lower bounds for how many magnets can be purchased given a quantity of keychains.

This is complete solution which gives all possible combinations.
