Garden
max area is if the sides are as equal as possible
so he should try to make a square (ideal is a circle, but barn walls are normally straight)
squaer perimiter=4 times legnth of 1 side
perimiter=amount of fencing=80
80=4s
divide 4
20=s
one sides=20

area=legnth times width
in squaer, legnth=width

20=legnth
20=width
area=20 times 20=400

dimetions are 20ft by 20ft to give 400ft^2
(fun fact, if it were a circle, the area would be about 509.5ft^2)


answer is 20ft by 20ft and area=400ft^2

You are making a snack that includes 5/6 pound of almonds and 7/9 pound of cashews. Which is greater, the weigh of the almonds o
devlian [24]
To compare the answers, you need to have the same denominator. 

We know that, 18 is a common denominator between 6 and 9. 

(5/6)*3/3 => 15/18 (ALMONDS) 
(7/9)*2/2 => 14/18 (CASHEWS) 

As seen, the weight of almonds is 1/18 bigger than the cashews.

Hope I helped :)
