Here, we proceed step by step, to obtain our answer,

$\frac{1}{2}$ % of 36 can be written as ,

0.5 % of 36 , which means,

100 % refers to 36, then

0.5 % refers to what, thus, by cross multiplication we get,

0.5 % of 36 = $\frac{0.5 X 36}{100}$ = 0.18 ___(1), which can be expressed in whole numbers as 0.

Now, 30 % of 10 means,

100 % refers to 10, then

30 % refers to what, thus, by cross multiplication we get,

30 % of 10 = $\frac{30 X 10}{100}$ = 3 __(2)

From equations (1) and (2),

the whole numbers that we obtain are 0 and 3, respectively,

Thus the difference between these two whole numbers is,

= 3 - 0 = 3.

Help me with 3, and 5 show your work !

ss7ja [257]

Okay so for number 3, you have to do the top work first.

3: POSITIVE 2!! first, you do the stuff inside the parentheses first because of P(parentheses)EMDAS. so, 14-2-10! -2-10 is -12 and then plus positive 14 is +2. but, the negative sign outside of the parentheses makes that +2 a -2.
but, you cant forget the -12 outside. you have to do -12-2 which gets you -14. then, this is easy! -14 divided by -7 is a positive 2!

5: POSITIVE 3!! again, do the stuff in the parentheses first!! -2-4 is -6. then, -6 x 2 is -12! so, divide -12 by -4 and you get a positive 3!

Which statement explains how the lines 2x + y = 4 and y = one halfx + 4 are related?

KatRina [158]

Answer:

They are perpendicular

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem .

we will convert the equations in slope intercept form.

Slope intercept form of equation is y = mx+c

where m is slope of line and c is y intercept.

________________________________

equation 1 is

2x+y = 4

=> y =4 - 2x or y = -2x + 4

comparing it with y = mx + c

m = -2 , c = 4

_________________________________________

equation 2 is y = one halfx + 4 ( one half is same as 1/2)

so equation is

y = x/2 +4

comparing it with y = mx + c

m = 1/2 , c = 4

_________________________________________

Now lets evaluate options

They are parallel. wrong option

For lines to be parallel slope should be same.

But here slope are different -2 and 1/2 .

Thus lines are not parallel.

__________________________________________

They are perpendicular. correct option

For lines to be perpendicular, product of slope should be equal to -1.

-2*1/2 = -1

we can see that product of slope should be equal to -1 .

Thus lines are perpendicular

______________________________________

They are the same line. wrong option

For lines to be same both slope and y intercept should be same.

Y intercept is same but the slopes are different -2 and 1/2 .

Thus lines are not the same line.

__________________________________________

They are not related. wrong option

As we have found that the lines are perpendicular .

So this option is intuitively wrong

When the Defense Department ordered 132 new airplanes, the cost per plane was estimated to be $580 million. A cut in the order t

aliina [53]

Answer:

C. The loss of economies of scale

By definition represent "the cost advantages that enterprises obtain due to their scale of operation, with cost per unit of output decreasing with increasing scale" and thats the corrct option since if we increase the order we have a lower price.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the following options we analyze one by one to select the correct one

A. A move to minimum efficient scale

By definition the minimum efficient scale (MES) or efficient scale of production is "the lowest point where the plant can produce such that its long run average costs are minimized" but thats not the case since the department order new planes and the costs are not minimized .

B. The law of diminishing returns

The law of diminishing marginal returns says that "at some point, adding an additional factor of production results in smaller increases in output" but that's not the case since we don't have smaller increases in output.

C. The loss of economies of scale

D. An increase in fixed cost

That's False since on this case we don't have a fixed cost, the cost on this case depend on the size of the order.
