Answer: 1/3 hot dog per hour

Explanation: Opportunity cost is a term used by economists to mean what you have to forego in order to choose something else. Opportunity cost refers to what you have to sacrifice to buy what you want in terms of other services or goods.

In this case Albert can produce 3 hamburgers in one hour, and also he can produce 1 hot dog in 1 hour

it can expressed:

1 hot dog = 1 hour

3 hamburger= 1 hour

Equating both equations and simplifying it gives:

1 hamburger = 1/3 hot dogs

In this essay ralph waldo emerson describes his view of an ideal education. what are its defining characteristics
Darina [25.2K]

According to Ralph Waldo Emerson an ideal education is to nurture in a child the kind of education he is naturally inclined to, this can be seen through his interests, habits etc. He said when a child is forced to study with other children and his natural abilities are suppressed to match other children in that class, that is not a healthy education for the child as he has to get dragged behind because not every child is a genius. Emerson gives the example of Plotinus and Socrates to show their natural ability to teach and calls them “Natural Teachers”. He suggests that everyone should take part in “mutual pleasure of teaching and learning”. He adds that female force is preferable to male force in natural teaching as that is more sympathetic rather than controlling.
