Answer:

4 sets.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find the greatest number of sets you can make using 28 pens and 80 pencils.

To solve our given problem, we will find greatest common factor of 28 and 80.

Factors of 28: 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28.

Factors of 80: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 40, 80.

We can see that the greatest common factor of 28 and 80 is 4, therefore, you can make at-most 4 sets each having same number of pens and pencils.

7 pens and 20 pencils because 28 divided by 4 = 7 and 80 divided by 4 = 20

The ratio of the profit, material cost and production labour of an article is 5:7:13.
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

The cost of producing the article is -3500 (Negative cost)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are

The ratio of the profit to material cost to production labor = 5:7:13

The amount of the material cost = 840 + Labor cost

Let the total cost = X

Therefore, we have;

The fraction of the total cost that is material cost = 7/(5 + 7 + 13) = 7/25

Therefore, the material cost = 7/25 × X

The fraction of the total cost that is labor cost = 13/(5 + 7 + 13) = 13/25

Therefore, the labor cost = 13/25 × X

However, the amount of the material cost = 840 + Labor cost, which gives;

7/25 × X = 13/25 × X + 840

7/25 × X - 13/25 × X = 840

-6/25 × X= 840

X = 840/(-6/25) = 840×(-25/6) = -3500

The cost of producing the article = -3500.
