Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A fraction represents a part of a whole or, more generally, any number of equal parts. When spoken in everyday English, a fraction describes how many parts of a certain size there are, for example, one-half, eight-fifths, three-quarters. A fraction will include two numbers, one above the other. The first number, found above the line, is the numerator. The second number, located below the line, is the denominator. A denominator indicates the total number of equal parts into which something is divided

The Reyes want grilled chicken and tilapia for dinner. Mrs.

seropon [69]

Answer:

Kilogram of chicken = 1

Kilogram of tilapia = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of chicken = 150 per kilo

Cost of tilapia = 100 per kilo

Number of kilos of each if total cost should not exceed 450

Let :

Number of kilo of chicken = x

Number of tilapia kilo = y

The constraint :

150x + 100y ≤ 450

We could choose some reasonable values of x and y then, test the constraint ;

If x = 1 and y = 3

150(1) + 100(3) = 450

Hence,

1 kilo of chicken with 3 kilos of tilapia offers the greatest combination of Number of kilograms of tilapia and chicken that could be purchased and still satisfy the maximum cost constraint.
