a machine can reduce 21 inches of ribbon every 3 minutes. How many feet of ribbon can the machine make in one hour?

1 answer:

3 0

Okay. Let's make a proportion for this. So we can do 21/3=x/60. Let's multiply cross way. So 21 x 60 is 1260. We multiply 3 by x to get 3x. So our equation will be 3x=1260. We can isolate the equation by 3, and 1260 divided by 3 is 420. So x=420. We then have to convert into feet. So 420 divided by 12 is 35. So it would be 35 feet. Therefore, the machine can make 35feet of ribbon in a hour.

I asked before and didn’t get an answer I really don’t understand this thanks.

dmitriy555 [2]

The answer is D, because that is what you should get when you multiply it out.

4x^2 times x^2 = 4x^4 because...

1) multiply the 4 and the one in front of the x on the second term = 4 then

2) multiply x^2 times x^2 to get x^4, not x^3, so you can immediately eliminate A and B to save time.

Now let's deal with the second part..."may or may not be" part

A polynomial is an expression with more than two algebraic terms

terms are like...
2x + 3y ---there's two terms there, eventhough the 2 and x are multiplied, it doesn't count (same with the 3 and y)
since it only have two terms, not more than two terms, it is called a binomial, not polynomial. I think that's what they mean by that

one term with a variable (y,x,and so on) is called a monomial

one term with no var is called a constant

there's many more but hope this gave you some help

Product A requires 5 machine hours per unit to be produced, Product B requires only 3 machine hours per unit, and the company's

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

Produce only Product B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The contribution margin per machine hour for product A is ...

($16 -$6)/(5 hour) = $2 per hour

The contribution margin per machine hour for product B is ...

($12 -$5)/(3 hour) ≈ $2.33 per hour
