The length and width that will maximize the area are 175 ft and 87.5 ft respectively

The largest area that can be enclosed is 15312.5 ft²

<h3>Area of a rectangle</h3>
  • area = lw

where

l = length

w = width

The fencing is 350 ft it is use to enclose a rectangular plot with a river occupying one part.

Therefore,

perimeter = l + 2w

350 = l + 2w

l = 350 - 2w

area = (350 - 2w)w

(350 - 2w)w = 0

where

w = 0 or 175

average = 175/2 = 87.5

Hence, the max area is at w = 87.5 ft

Therefore,

l = 350 - 2(87.5) = 175 ft

length = 175 ft

width =  87.5 ft

Therefore,

area = 175 × 87.5 = 15312.5 ft²

Therefore, the largest area that can be enclosed is 15312.5 ft²

5.2x-y=4.1 1.5x+y=6.7<br> how to solve this problem
MrRa [10]

Answer: x=1.6

y=4.2

Step-by-step explanation:

5.2x - y = 4.1

1.5x + y = 6.7

we will add both equations and you see that the y is getting cancelled

6.7x=10.8

x=10.8/6.7= 1.6

now in any equation we will replace x with 1.6

5.2(1.6)-y=4.1

8.3-y=4.1

  -y= 4.1-8.3

-y=-4.2  multiply by -1

y=4.2

natulia [17]

\boxed{21} scoops of oatmeal will he need to complete the recipe.

Further explanation:

Given:

Beau's recipe from granola bars calls for 3\dfrac{1}{2} cups of oatmeal.

He only is \dfrac{1}{6} scoop.

Explanation:

The cups of oatmeal called for the recipe is 3\dfrac{1}{2}.

Solve the improper fraction 3\dfrac{1}{2}.

\begin{aligned}{\text{Fraction}}&=\frac{{2 \times 3 + 1}}{2}\\&=\frac{{6 + 1}}{2}\\&=\frac{7}{2}\\\end{aligned}

The Beau has \dfrac{1}{6}{\text{ scoop}}.

The number of scoops required to complete the recipe can be obtained as follows,

\begin{aligned}N&=\frac{{{\text{total cups of oatmeal}}}}{{{\text{the fraction of scoop Beau has}}}}\\&=\frac{{\frac{7}{2}}}{{\frac{1}{6}}}\\&= \frac{7}{2} \times6\\&=\frac{{42}}{2}\\&= 21\\\end{aligned}

Number of scoops required to complete the oatmeal is 21{\text{ scoops}}.

Therefore, \boxed{21} scoops of oatmeal will he need to complete the recipe.
