Answer:
1/5
Step-by-step explanation:
2/3 - 7/15
Now when dealing with fractions, alas make the dominator ( bottom number the same), and the rule of thumb is, whatever u do to the bottom, must be done to the top
2 7
-------- - - - - - -
3 15
So now u should think, how to make 3 to 15, so u multiply it by 5, therefore u would also need to multiply it to the top
2 x 5 7
-------- - - - - - -
3 x 5 15
10 7
-------- - - - - - -
15 15
Now just minus horizontally ( u don't need to minus the dominator)
3
---------
15
Now can u make this fraction smaller? As in, is there a number that u can divide to the top and bottom, yes, that number is 3 in this case
3 ÷3
---------
15 ÷3
= 1
- - - - -
5
Thats your final answer
Answer:
31.6 feet by 15.8 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of a Rectangle = Length X Breadth = LB
The area of the playground is to be 500 square feet
Therefore:
LB=500
Perimeter of the Rectangle = 2(L+B)
The Chain link fence that costs $2 per linear foot on three sides and a fancier wooden fence that costs $6 per linear foot on the fourth side.
Cost = ${2(L+2B)+6L}=2L+4B+6L=8L+4B
Cost= $(8L+4B)
From: LB=500, B=500/L
Substitute B into 8L+4B
C(L) =
C(L)=
The minimum cost of the fencing occurs when the dimensions are minimum.
If we take the derivative of C(L)
At
Recall: B=500/L
The dimensions that minimizes the total cost of the fencing are 31.6 feet by 15.8 feet.
It is 3yd (the Hight) x 4 yard(half the base) = 12yard and that is actually double the size of the single triangle we just measured but add its partner back on its:
