Answer:

49.6 liters

Explanation:

Let x represent the amount of water held by the large ice chest. Given that x = 62 liters.

Also, let y represent the amount of water held by the small chest. The small chest holds 4/5 of the water held by the large chest, hence:

y = (4/5)x

Since x = 62 liters

y= 4/5 × 62 = 49.6

y = 49.6 liters

This means that the smaller ice chest can hold up to 49.6 liters of water

Which item is an example of a primary source?
DochEvi [55]
Hello,

The answer is option D "<span>a diary entry from an American homemaker in 1933".

Reason:

The answer is option D because the diary of a homemaker from 1933 is the original source of a subject that people can write off of and learn about. A primary source is the original source of a subject for example of homemaking. Its not option A because a magazine summary of the history of voting is not the original version of the history of voting. Its also not option B because a blog entry about how Roosevelt is the most important president is just a opinion. Its also not option C because a book about the civil war that was written by a historian wouldn't be the original source since how he or she gets the information from other sources in order to write the book. 

If you need anymore help feel free to ask me!

Hope this helps!

You have figured out the marginal cost and marginal benefit of buying an extra smoothie. In two to three sentences, describe how
ludmilkaskok [199]

Marginal beneficit and marginal cost are economic concepts. On the one hand, the marginal beneficit is defined as the added satisfaction a consumer gets from an additional unit of a good or service. On the other hand, the marginal cost is the change in total cost that results from making or producing one additional item.

The consumer could use these measurements to consider whether the cost is higher than the benefit when purchasing an item or getting a new service. Do they really need to buy an extra t-shirt when they already have enough of them? The benefit would be that they would get another t-shirt. In addition, as this is a new piece of clothing, it would probably be more in fashion than the old ones. However, the consumer would have to spend an amount of money that perhaps he had saved for another purpose and consequently would lack money for it. If he decided not to buy the t- shirt, he would have said amount of money to pay for his taxes or services.  The same applies when it comes to the extra smoothie. The amount of money spent on the smoothie could be used to get something else and, by getting an extra one, you would feel fuller and perhaps would not eat a proper meal afterwards. You could also gain weight if the smoothie is not healthy, so in the end the cost is higher than the benefit.

Therefore, you could easily apply economic concepts, such as the ones described, in your everyday life so as to make decisions that leave you better off. By considering the cost associated with an extra purchase, you could start saving up money. Eventually, you could spend your savings to get a greater benefit. For instance, you could go on vacation without spending your salary and still comply with the payment of your taxes and services.
