Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is calculus, but I don't get fractions in the end. To maximize or minimize any function, you need to find the derivative of it, set it equal to 0, then solve for the critical values.

Our given equation is

x + y = 215 and we want to maximize the product, xy. Therefore,

y = 215 - x so its product in terms of x is

x(215-x) which is

215x -x^2.  The derivative of this is

215 - 2x. Set it equal to 0 to maximize it.

215 - 2x = 0 so

-2x = -215 and

x = 107.5.

Sub this in to solve for y:

y + 107.5 = 215 and

y = 107.5

The product is 11556.25, not that you need it.

Orlov [11]

Answer:

remember

1h=60min

1min=60 sec

now come to the question

1h=60min

1min=60 sec

60min=60×60=3600sec in 1hour

25min=60×25=1500sec in 25 min

total all sec=3600+1500+29=5129sec
