Using proportions, the approximate length of time, in years, for the watch to lose exactly 24 hours is:

(d) 240.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three. Due to this, relations between variables, either direct or inverse proportional, can be built to find the desired measures in the problem.

24 hours have 24 x 3600 = 86400 seconds, hence the <em>rule of three</em> is given by:

One second - 1/365 year

86400 seconds - x years

Applying cross multiplication:

x = 86400/365

x = 240.

Hence option D is correct.

Without trade, jake consumes 20 pounds of green beans and 80 punds pf corn and jane consumes 40 pounds of green beans and 40 pou
Oksanka [162]

solution:

Terms of trade (TOT) = 1 pound green beans for 3 pound corn.

So, when Jake sells 72 pounds of corn, he buys (72 / 3) = 24 pounds of green beans, which is sold by Jane.

After specialization, Jane produces 80 pounds of green beans and sells 24 pounds out of it.

So, Jane consumes (80 - 24) = 56 pounds of green beans herself.

Also, after specialization, Jane produces only green beans and no corn, so her consumption of corn is equal to the quantity of corn sold by Jake, i.e. 72 pounds.

So, Jane consumes 56 pounds of green beans and 72 pounds of corn.

STALIN [3.7K]

\bf \cfrac{1}{4}n+12 \geqslant \cfrac{3}{4}n-4\implies \cfrac{1}{4}n+16 \geqslant \cfrac{3}{4}n\implies 16\geqslant \cfrac{3n}{4}-\cfrac{1n}{4}\implies 16\geqslant \cfrac{3n-1n}{4} \\\\\\ 16\geqslant\cfrac{2n}{4}\implies 16\geqslant \cfrac{n}{2}\implies 32 \geqslant n
