A float in a parade may use as many tulipstulips as a florist sells in 9 years. If t is the number of tulipstulips a florist sells in 1 year, write an algebraic expression to represent the number of tulipstulips a float in the parade may use

answer: a.   one is a factor of every whole number since every number is divisible by itself.

maximum area = xy = (16)(32) = 512 ft2

to maximize the area of the garden, the side of the fence parallel to the side of the house should be 32 ft long, and the other two sides should both have length 16 ft.'

example 2 – simplify: step 1: completely factor both the numerators and denominators of all fractions. step 2: change the division sign to a multiplication sign and flip (or reciprocate) the fraction after the division sign; essential you need to multiply by the reciprocal. step 3 : cancel or reduce the fractions.
