We have that \[a+b+c\leq 6\iff (a+b+c)^3\leq 36(a+b+c)\iff \dfrac{1}{27}(a+b+c)^3\leq\dfrac{4}{3}(a+b+c)\]However AM-GM gives us \[abc\leq\dfrac{1}{27}(a+b+c)^3\]proving the inequality.

Let $a, b,c\in (0,2].$ Prove that $$\frac{abc}{a + 2b + c} \le 1$$$$\frac{abc}{a + kb + c} \le \frac{4}{k+2}$$Where $k>0.$
