We can solve this problem by dividing 9/12 by 2/12. We should do this because to find how many sets of something are in a number, the question is asking us to do division. Doing this, we get 9/12 * 12/2, giving us our answer of 4.5 sets of 2/12 in 9/12.
If there were 1000 sheets of paper, then the thickness of each sheet would be 1.875 in divided by 1000.
1.875/1000 = 0.001875
Since there are 500 sheets of paper, each one is twice as thick as 0.001875, so each sheet is 0.00375 inches thick. 0.015 is much greater than 0.00375, so it must be incorrect.
If you notice the picture below, the amount of fencing, or perimeter, that will be used will be 3w + 2l
now

solve for "w", to see what critical points you get, and then run a first-derivative test on them, for the minimum
notice the

so. you can pretty much skip that one, though is a valid critical point, the width can't clearly be 0
so.. check the critical points on the other
Answer:
X = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Divided 26 (total perimeter) by 4 = maximum side length possible = 26÷4 =.6.5
I used the trial and error technique
Guessed it was 2 working out to see if i was right or wrong:
Length: 2(2) + 3 = 4+3 = 7
Width: 3(2) = 6
7+7+6+6 = 26
Therefore X = 2
