Answer: Here we have a real life multiplication situation for which an estimate make sense:-
Miley has 212 fiction books. Sharon has 3 times fiction books has many as Miley has, how many fiction books Sharon has
Solution :- Number of fiction books Miley has = 212
Number of fiction books Sharon has= 3 times 212
We know that 212 is near to 200 , so round off 212 to 200 (to the nearest hundred)
Thus the product becomes
Therefore, the estimated number of fiction books Sharon has=600
Answer:
length = 60 foot, width = 30 foot
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of rectangular part, A = 1800 ft²
Cost of fencing three sides is $ 6 per foot and cost of one side fencing is $18 per foot.
Let the length of the rectangle is l and the width of the rectangle is W.
Area = Length x width
A = L x W
1800 = L x W ...... (1)
Total cost of fencing, C = 6 x ( L + W + L) + 18 x W
C = 6 (2L + W) + 18 W
C = 12 L + 24 W
Substitute the value of W from equation (1), in equation (2)
Differentiate both sides with respect to L:
Put it equal to zero for maxima and minima
L = 60 foot
and W = 30 foot
So, the costing is minimum for length = 60 foot and the width = 30 foot.
