Answer:

<em>In the second group the individual members received a larger fraction of the prize money</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Division by Sharing</u>

A certain amount M can be evenly split among n parties by performing a division M/n.

The first group of six friends earned $45 and they split it evenly, i.e. the same amount goes to each member. Each of them received $45/6= $7.50 apiece.

The second group of four friends won the second-place prize of $35 and they split it evenly also. Each member received $35/4=$8.75.

By comparing both numbers, we see that 8.75 is a bigger fraction of 35 that 7.50 is of 45. Each member from the second-place price will receive more money than the first group.

We can conclude in the second group the individual members received a larger fraction of the prize money

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

846.06 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of profit, y, made by the  company, is related to the selling price of each widget, x, by the given  equation as follows :

y = -4x^2 + 183x- 1247 ...(1)

We need to find out the maximum amount of profit  the company can make.

For maximum profit put dy/dx = 0

So,

\dfrac{d}{dx}(-4x^2 + 183x- 1247)=0\\\\-8x+183=0\\\\x=\dfrac{183}{8}\\\\x=22.87

Put x = 22.87 in equation (1). So,

y = -4(22.87)^2 + 183(22.87)- 1247\\\\=846.06

So, the maximum profit is 846.06 units.

Which of the following statements is true of chords?
nydimaria [60]
All of those are true, except the one about the radius.  Because alternate definition of diameter uses the idea of chord. So, both ends of a chord have to be on the circle, but one end of a radius is at the center, so a radius can't be a chord.
