What are the different ways to divide?
You can use many different strategies to find the answer to a division problem. One strategy is to use repeated subtraction. To find 123 ÷ 36, think: How many groups of 36 are there in 123? Start with 123. Subtract 36 repeatedly. Count how many times you subtracted: 123 − 36 = 87 (1); 87 − 36 = 51 (2); 51 − 36 = 15 (3); 15 < 36. There are 3 groups of 36 in 123 with 15 left over. Therefore, 123 ÷ 36 = 3 R15.
Another strategy is to use what is sometimes called long division. The algorithm for long division is estimate, multiply, subtract, bring down, and repeat as needed. To find 123 ÷ 36, start with the estimate 120 ÷ 40 = 3. Then use this estimate to help you place the first digit in the quotient of the division algorithm.

Suppose your marginal cost of making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich is constant at $10, but the marginal benefit of eating t
Softa [21]

Answer:

At most 3 sandwiches i would eat at this situation

Step-by-step explanation:

Making a first sandwich has a constant value 10$ but its marginal benefit is 12$. There is a 2$ benefit exist if i eat one.

Making the second one costs 20$ but its marginal benefit is 22$. Still 2$ benefit is exist if i eat the second one also.

Making the third one costs 30$ ant its marginal benefit also 30$. There is a even situation here. Making three sandwiches still an option.

After third one marginal benefit becomes lower than marginal cost of sandwiches.

HII PLEASE HELP ME IN THIS
Rzqust [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

(i) Sum the forces at point M in the x direction.

∑F = ma

-T sin 30° − T sin 30° + 5 N = 0

2T sin 30° = 5 N

T = 5 N

(ii) Sum the forces on the ring in the x direction.

∑F = ma

T sin 30° − N = 0

N = 2.5 N

Sum the forces on the ring in the y direction.

∑F = ma

T cos 30° − mg − Nμ = 0

Nμ = T cos 30° − mg

2.5 μ = 5 cos 30° − 2

μ = 0.932

(iii) Sum the forces on the ring in the y direction.

∑F = ma

T cos 30° − m₁g − m₂g + Nμ = 0

m₂g = T cos 30° − m₁g + Nμ

m (10) = 5 cos 30° − 2 + (2.5)(0.932)

m = 0.466 kg
