Answer:

1/10

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of red guppies, multiply the fractions.

Gary has 2/5 of his fish collection as guppies. Of the guppies, 1.4 are red.

So 2/5 * 1/4 = 2/20 = 1/10.

Can someone help me how to solve this?

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

x > -5 in the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

(5 - 3x) / 4 < 5

multiplying both sides by 4:-

5 - 3x < 20

-3x < 15

x > 15/-3

x > -5 (Note the inequality sign is flipped because we are dividing by a negative number)

Pearl's Biking Company manufactures and sells bikes. Each bike costs £40 to make, and the company's fixed costs are £5000. In ad

____ [38]

Answer:

R(x) =300·x - 2·x²

C(x) = £5000 + £40 × x

The break even points are 23.47 and 106.53 or 23 and 107 bikes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the price function P(x) = 300 -2·x

Cost per bike = £40

The revenue function R(x) is given by bike price × total number of bikes manufactured and sold

∴ R(x) = P(x)×x = (300 - 2·x)×x = 300·x - 2·x²

The company's cost function, C(x) is Fixed cost + cost to produce each bike × total number of bikes produced

∴ C(x) = £5000 + £40 × x

The break even point is given by the relation;

Total revenue - total cost = 0

That is, break even point is R(x) - C(x) = 0

300·x - 2·x² - (5000 + 40·x) = 0

-2·x²+260·x-5000 = 0 or 2·x²- 260·x + 5000 = 0

Factorizing, we have;

(x - (65 -5√69))(x - (65 +5√69))

Solving gives x = 23.47 or 106.53

Therefore, the break even points are 23.47 and 106.53.

That is the company is profitable when they produce less than 23 bikes or more than 107 bikes.

You are purchasing books summer reading for $4.50 each. Part A: Your total cost, C, depends on,The input is,and the output is,Pa

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

Part A) see the explanation

Part B) $C(12)=\$54$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A)

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and C, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form $k=\frac{C}{x}$ or $C=kx$

Let

C ---> is the total cost (represent the output or dependent variable)

x ----> is the number of books (represent the input or independent variable)

In this problem

we have a proportional relationship between the variables x and C

Part B) we know that

The linear equation is given by

$C=kx$

The constant of proportionality k is the same that the slope or unit rate of the linear equation

In this problem the constant k is given

$k=\$4.50\ per\ book$

so

$C=4.50x$

For x=12 books

substitute in the equation and solve for C

$C=4.50(12)=\$54$

In function notation

$C(12)=\$54$
