Answer:

$\frac{1}{4} lbs/person$

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the complete question: Find the rate of change for the situation:

A chef cooks 9 lbs of chicken for 36 people and 17 lbs of chicken for 68 people.

Given: 1st situation, A chef cook 9 lbs chicken for 36 people.

2nd situation, chef cook 17 lbs chicken for 68 people.

∴ 1st situation, weight of chicken per person= $\frac{9\ lbs}{36\ person} = \frac{9}{36}$

Weight of chicken per person= $\frac{1}{4} lbs/ person$

2nd situation, weight of chicken per person= $\frac{17\ lbs}{68\ person} = \frac{17}{68}$

Weight of chicken per person= $\frac{1}{4} lbs/ person$

In both the situation chef cook same amount of chicken per person, which is $\frac{1}{4} lbs/ person$

∴ Rate of change is $\frac{1}{4} lbs/ person$

A circle has an area of 256 square inches. If the radius of

RSB [31]

Answer:

Option C (4096π in²)

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the circle = 256π in²

We know that $Area=\pi r^{2}$ , where r = radius of the circle

So,

$256\pi = \pi r^{2}$

Cancelling π from both the sides,

$=> r^{2} = 256$

$=> r = \sqrt{256} = 16$

The radius of the circle = 16 in.

When the radius is multiplied with 4 , new radius = 16×4 = 64 in.

New Area = $\pi (64)^{2} =4096\pi \: in^{2}$

Please explain your answer! Which of the following best represents time preference?

igomit [66]

Answer:

B. Alex smokes a pack of cigarettes per day even though he knows that he may face poor health down the road because of his smoking habit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Time preference means that the person would like to have temporary but instant satisfaction. In this case, B would be the best choice, for Alex wants to experience the "high" (I guess?) from smoking, even when he knew that there would be health consequences down the road.

In this case, it is not:

A, for Thomas is not going to receive his reward (a profit from the investment) until later on. The money he invest is still "there", but it is technically gone into investment.

C, because this is assuming that retirement is a long way off, and that this would be a long-term investment, rather than a short term.

D, this is a long-term investment, as Sarah "hopes" that she can earn it all back in the future. With what she learns, she, in the long run, wants to find a sustainable & high-paying job.
