Alex can buy at most 4 pounds of tomatoes
Let:
a represent pounds of tomatoes to buy
3a represent pounds of black beans to buy
Total cost of each ingredient that can be bought = number of pounds x price per pound
Tomatoes = a x $1.60 = 1.60a
Black beans = 3a x $1.70 = 5.1a
1.60a + 5.1a = 26.80
Add similar terms
6.7a = 26.80
Divide both sides of the equation by 6.7
a = 4 pounds

The greatest area he can fence is 64 ft².
In order to maximize area and minimize perimeter, we use dimensions that are as close to equivalent as possible. 32 feet of fence for 4 sides gives us 8 feet of fence per side. We would have a square whose side length is 8; the area would be 8*8 = 64.
Answer:
402.9 $
Step-by-step explanation:
first you must turn foot into yards "every 3 foot = 1 yard"
3.33 , 4
then we will use the area=length x width formula
3.33 x 4 = 13.32 square yards
the cost of the carpet is
13.32 x 30.25 = 402.9$
The shortest distance would be from both cause they are bath the same length
