Answer:
1/8th
Step-by-step explanation: A unit fraction is a rational number written as a fraction where the numerator is one and the denominator is a positive integer. A unit fraction is therefore the reciprocal of a positive integer, 1/n. Examples are 1/1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4 ,1/5, etc. so in this case the cake is eight slices so 1/8

<span>To minimize the perimeter you should always have a square.
sqrt(289) = 17
The dimensions should be 17 X 17
To see , try starting at length 1, and gradually increase the length.
The height decreases at a faster rate than the length increases, up until you reach a square.
Or if you want to use algebra, Say the width is 17-x
Then the length is 289/(17-x)
Now, this is bigger than 17+x, as shown here:
289/(17-x) > 17+x
289 > 289 - x^2
which is true.
so the perimeter would be bigger than 2 * (17- x + 17 + x) = 2 * (2 * 17) = 4 * 17
Again, the dimensions should be a square. 17 X 17.</span>
3x-15+2x-2
=5x-17
use the distribution property
