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.

Write an equation of the line perpendicular to the line 8x+15y=12 and containing the point (11,17) write the answer in standard
jek_recluse [69]

The slope of a line perpendicular to another line has a slope which is the negative reciprocal of that line or:

m1 = -1/m2

First, we convert the given equation into slope-intercept form of a line: y = mx + b

8x + 15y = 12

15y = -8x + 12

y = (-8/15) x + 0.8

m1 = -8 / 15

 

Therefore the slope of the perpendicular line is:

m2 = 15 / 8

 

Since the perpendicular line crosses the point (11, 17), therefore using the slope formula:

m = (y2 – y1) / (x2 – x1)

15 / 8 = (y2 – 17) / (x2 – 11)

1.875 (x2 – 11) = y2 – 17

1.875 x2 – 20.625 = y2 – 17

y2 = 1.875 x2 – 3.625

y = (15/8) x – 3.625

multiplying both sides by 8:

8y = 15x – 29

rewriting in standard form:

<span>15x – 8y = 29                (ANSWER)</span>
