i believe that the answer is b (but it could be c) pls consider what the other person that answers it says
Answer:
16 oranges
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of oranges to apples is 4:3 which means that for every four oranges, there are 3 apples.
Since there are 12 apples in the basket, to find the number of oranges, set up a ratio.
4/3 = x/12 (x represents the number of oranges)
Cross multiply.
48 = 3x
Divide by 3.
x = 16
There are 16 oranges in the basket.
Hope that helps.
Answer:
(24, 224 ) i.e. 24 basketball and 224 footballs
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Basketball :</em>
uses 4 ounces of foam
20 minutes of labor
profit = $2.50
<em>Football :</em>
uses 3 ounces of foam
30 minutes of labor
profit = $2
Manufacturer has :
768 ounces of foam , 120 labor hours per week,
<u>using the simplex method to determine the optimal production schedule so as to maximize profits </u>
lets assume
x = number of basketball
y = number of footballs
maximize = 2.5 x + 2y from a linear programming problem
attached below is the detailed solution
<u>Answer:</u>
If f(x) = -3x - 5 and g(x) = 4x - 2 then (f - g)(x) = -7x - 3
<u>Solution:</u>
We need to determine the value of (f - g)(x)
Given that the function is f(x) = -3x - 5 and the other function is g(x) = 4x - 2
The value of (f - g)(x) can be found by as follows:
<em>(f - g)(x) = f(x) - g(x)</em>
On substituting the given value of f(x) and g(x) we get
(f - g)(x) = (-3x - 5) - (4x - 2)
Upon solving we get
(f - g)(x) = -3x -5 -4x + 2 = -7x -3
Hence the value of (f - g)(x) is equal to -7x - 3
