The correct option is A which is Yixing should clean out the kennels, and Olivia should move the food bags.

<h3>What is an expression?</h3>

Numbers (constants), variables, operations, functions, brackets, punctuation, and grouping can all be represented by mathematical symbols, which can also be used to indicate the logical syntax's order of operations and other features.

All the parts will be solved below:-

a. Olivia has an absolute advantage as she takes less time for completing both the tasks

b. Olivia's opportunity cost of cleaning a kennel is

= 6 ÷ 6

= 1 bag of food moved.

c. Olivia's opportunity cost of moving one bag of food is

= 6 ÷ 6

= 1 kennel cleaned

d. Yixing's opportunity cost of cleaning a kennel is

= 10 ÷ 12

= 0.83 bags of food moved.

e. Yixing's opportunity cost of moving one bag of food is

= 12 ÷ 10

= 1.2 kennels cleaned

f. From the above calculations, we can see that the opportunity cost of kennel cleaning would be less sin Yixing so here Yixing should have a comparative advantage and Olivia should have moved the food bags

The complete question is given below:-

Olivia and Yixing are volunteering at a cat rescue shelter. The shelter supervisor asks them to clean out kennels and haul bags of cat food from the donation area into storage. It takes Olivia 6 minutes to clean out a kennel and 6 minutes to move a bag of food. It takes Yixing 10 minutes to clean out a kennel and 12 minutes to move a bag of food.

A. ____has an absolute advantage in completing both tasks.

B. Olivia's opportunity cost of cleaning a kennel:___bags of food moved.

C. Olivia's opportunity cost of moving one bag of food:_____kennels cleaned.

D. Yixing's opportunity cost of cleaning a kennel:____bags of food moved.

E. Yixing's opportunity cost of moving one bag of food:____kennels cleaned.

F. Yixing says it does not matter which task each of them performs because Olivia is faster at both tasks. Is she correct?

A) No, Yixing should clean out the kennels, and Olivia should move the food bags.

B) No, Olivia should clean out the kennels, and Yixing should move the food bags.

C) Yes, Olivia should do both tasks because she is faster at both.

D) No, Yixing should do both tasks so that she can practice and become more efficient.

A vase in the shape of an oblique cylinder has the dimensions shown. What is the volume of the vase?
fenix001 [56]

The image is missing so i have attached it.

Answer:

Volume = 1.5 litres

Step-by-step explanation:

Using pythagoras theorem, we can get the height (h) of the cylinder

14² + h² = 17²

h² = 289 - 196

h = √93

Now, volume of a cylinder is;

V = πr²h

In the image, r = diameter/2 = 14/2 = 7cm

Thus,

V = π × 7² × √93

V = 1485 cm³

Now, 1 litre = 1000 cm³

Thus, volume = 1485/1000 = 1.485 litres ≈ 1.5 litres

A line with a slope of 4 passes through<br> the point (2, 1). What is the equation of<br> this line?
mariarad [96]

Answer:

y = 4x - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope = 4 ; x1 = 2 , y1 = 1

Slope point form: y -y1 = m(x -x1)

y - 1 = 4(x - 2)

y - 1 = 4x - 2*4

y -1 = 4x - 8

   y = 4x - 8 +1

  y = 4x - 7

5 8/25 as a decimal show work
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

Split the number into the whole number component and fraction component.

5 8/25= 5+8/25.

For the denominator, recognize that

25×4=100.

Multiple =4.

Multiply the numerator and the denominator by the multiple 4.

8×4/ 25×4.

Simplify.

32/100=0.32

Combine the whole number component with the decimal.

5+0.32=5.32

Week 1 2 3 4 5 Water Level (inches) − 1 1 4 1 3 8 2 1 2 − 1 5 8 − 1 3 4 Between which two weeks did the water level change the m
suter [353]

Answer:

The water level change the most in week 3 and week 4

The change = -370 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - Week                              1           2            3           4            5

             Water Level (inches) − 1 1 4     1 3 8      2 1 2      -1 5 8      -1 3 4

To find - Between which two weeks did the water level change the most? Calculate the change .

Proof -

The formula for change in water level with respect to week be-

Rate of Change in Water Level = Difference in water level / Difference in weeks

Now,

For week 1 and week 2

Rate of change in water level = \frac{138 - 114}{2 - 1} = \frac{24}{1} = 24 inches

Now,

For week 1 and week 3

Rate of change in water level = \frac{212 - 114}{3 - 1} = \frac{98}{2} = 49 inches

Now,

For week 1 and week 4

Rate of change in water level = \frac{-158 - 114}{4 - 1} = -\frac{272}{3} = -90.67 inches

Now,

For week 1 and week 5

Rate of change in water level = \frac{-134 - 114}{5 - 1} = -\frac{248}{4} = -62 inches

Now,

For week 2 and week 3

Rate of change in water level = \frac{212 - 138}{3 - 2} = \frac{74}{1} = 74 inches

Now,

For week 2 and week 4

Rate of change in water level = \frac{-158 - 138}{4 - 2} = -\frac{296}{2} = -148 inches

Now,

For week 2 and week 5

Rate of change in water level = \frac{-134 - 138}{5 - 2} = -\frac{272}{3} = -90.67 inches

Now,

For week 3 and week 4

Rate of change in water level = \frac{-158 - 212}{4 - 3} = -\frac{370}{1} = -370 inches

Now,

For week 3 and week 5

Rate of change in water level = \frac{-134 - 212}{5 - 3} = -\frac{346}{2} = 173 inches

Now,

For week 4 and week 5

Rate of change in water level = \frac{-134 + 158}{5 - 4} = \frac{24}{1} = 24 inches

∴ we get

The water level change the most in week 3 and week 4

The change = -370 inches

Note :

The highest change means which temperature goes the most change in water level. It can be negative also.

So, We have to take the modulus and then find the highest number.

Here, 370 > 173

So, Highest change occurs in Week 3 and Week 4 but not in Week 3 and Week 5.
