I think what the teacher wants to express is that SI units are much more convenient to use than English units because the prefixes of the metric system will give you an idea on the conversion factor. Unlike English units, like ft to yard, there is no prefix to help you. You have to know the fact that 1 yard is equal to 3 feet.

Answer:

“There are 100 centimeters in a meter, and this fact is revealed in the unit’s name (centimeter).

In the metric system of measurement, the prefix "centi-" means 100.

And a centimeter is 1/100 of a meter.

"There are 3 feet in one yard, but this fact is not revealed in the unit’s name (yard).”

The above prefix format cannot be said about a yard because it is just an arbitrary term and does not have a prefix.

A company makes a profit of $50 per software program and $35 per video game. the company can produce at most 200 software progra
Neko [114]
Let x = software program
Let y = video game

x < 200 ; y < 300

x + y < 425

50x ; 35y

x = 200 ; y = 225
50(200) + 35(225) = 10,000 + 7,875 = 17,875

x = 125 ; y = 300
50(125) + 35(300) = 6,250 + 10,500 = 16,750

x = 175 ; y = 250
50(175)  + 35(250) = 8,750 + 8,750 = 17,500

It is more profitable to maximize production of software program when working within the limits provided.

Henrietta solved a rational equation. Her work is shown. How could she solve it in a simpler way?
RoseWind [281]

Henrietta solved a rational equation by multiplying both sides by 3x^{2}(x+2) .She did not find the least common multiple of the denominators .If she had find the least common denominator which is 3x(x+2) then the question can have been simplified in more simpler form.

Henrietta can have got rid of denominator and then use the distributive rule .

So the first option

A:She could use the least common multiple of the denominator is right
