Arianna is packing scented candles and candle holders into gift boxes. She has 84 candles and 48 holders, and each box must contain both items. She puts the same number of candles in each box, and the same number of holders in each box. What is the maximum number of gift boxes Arianna can pack, and how many scented candles and candle holders will each box have? A.
24 boxes; 3 scented candles and 2 candle holders
B.
12 boxes; 7 scented candles and 4 candle holders
C.
6 boxes; 14 scented candles and 8 candle holders
D.
4 boxes; 21 scented candles and 12 candle holders

last one.

step-by-step explanation:

last one.

generally speaking, the others follow some sort of pattern that correlates to either linear (looks like a straight line) or sinusoidal (looks like an s).

the last one is just a random cloud of points that doesn't correlate to any particular known order.

there are lots of ways.   pick's theorem tells us if the vertices are lattice points the area a is

a = b/2 + i - 1

where b is the number of boundary lattice points and i is the number of interior lattice points.

in the figure i count b=16, i=50 so

a = 8 + 50 - 1 = 57

let's try the shoelace formula.   the area is half the sum of the cross products of the sides.  

a(-2,6)   -2(2)-6(-5) = 26

b(-5,2)   -5(-3) - 2(-2) = 19

c(-2,-3) -2(-3) - (-3)(4) = 18

d(4,-3)   4(3) - (-3)(5) = 27

e(5,3)   5(3) - 3(1) = 12

f(1,3)     1(6) - 3(-2) = 12

a(-2,6)

each of the cross products is twice the area of the triangle with the associated side and one vertex the origin. so the area of abo=26/2=13.

area = (1/2) (26 + 19 +   18 + 27 + 12 + 12) = 57

that checks!

depending on others is critical to survival. my source is apex!
