One table at a bake sale has 75 oatmeal cookies. another table has 60 lemon cupcakes. which table allows for more rectangular arrangements when all the cookies and cupcakes are displayed?

Arrangement is simply the order, which items are displayed or presented.

The table of 60 lemon cupcakes allow more rectangular arrangements

The given parameters are:

The rectangular arrangement (R) is calculated as follows:

Where n represents the number of items, and Area represents the area of the rectangular table

For the oatmeal, we have:

For the lemon, we have:

By comparison, 0.0167Area is greater than 0.0133Area

Hence, the table of 60 lemon cupcakes allow more rectangular arrangement

75 = 3·5², so has 6 divisors. 6 rectangles are possible if you make the distinction between 1×75 and 75×1.

60 = 2²·3·5, so has 12 divisors. 12 rectangles are possible under the same conditions.

The cupcake table can be arranged more ways.

When 1 is added to each exponent of the prime factors, the product of those sums is the number of divisors. For 75: (1+1)(1+2) = 6; for 60: (1+2)(1+1)(1+1) = 12.

a. the are of the rectangle is 18.25

b. 18.25 times two is 36.50
