Answer: 45

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : In a certain field, the ratio of pigs to sheep is \dfrac{8}{3}.  (1)

Let 3x be the total number of sheep and 8x be the number of pigs in the field.

If there are 165 pigs and sheep altogether in a field, then we have

3x+8x=165\\\\\Rightarrow\ 11x=165\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{165}{11}=15

Now, the number of sheep are there = 3x=3(15)=45

Hence, there are 45 sheep.

There are 8 pigs to every 3 sheep

8 pigs +3 sheep is 11 ÷165 is 15

15×8 is 120

15×3 is 45

so there was 45 sheep

You and your friend are going to sell popcorn. You have determined that it will cost you $1.50 to make every popcorn and an addi
Kipish [7]

Answer:

<em>3.75x = 450 + 1.50x</em>

<em>They should sell 200 bags of popcorn to break even</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Business Modeling</u>

When modeling the operation of a business, there are some magnitudes that should be managed to properly control the profits of the business. Those magnitudes are Costs, Revenue, and Profits.

The profit is the difference between the costs and the revenue as follows:

P(x) = R(x) - C(x)

Where x is the number of units produced and sold.

The break-even level is the value of x that produces zero profits, i.e.,

R(x) = C(x)

The costs associated to sell popcorn consist of a fixed amount of $450 plus a variable cost of $1.50 for every popcorn. Thus the total cost function is:

C(x) = 450 + 1.50x

The income or revenue is the selling price times the number of popcorns:

R(x) = 3.75x

The break-even level can be calculated by solving the equation:

3.75x = 450 + 1.50x

Solving the equation:

3.75x - 1.50x = 450

2.25x = 450

x = 450/2.25

x = 200

They should sell 200 bags of popcorn to break even

The volume of Cube A is 8 cubic inches. The face of Cube B has an area of 64 square inches. Which cube has a greater side​ lengt
defon

The cube which has a greater side length according to the task content is; Cube B.

<h3>Which cube has a greater side length?</h3>

It follows from the task content that since cube A has a volume of 8 in³, it follows that its side length is;

s(A) = ³√8 = 2in.

Also, since one face of cube B has an area of 64 in², it follows that the side length is;

s = ²√64

s(B) = 8 in.

Hence, Cube B has the greater side length.

Find the value of x?
Kipish [7]
84 + x + 59 x + 51 =180

2x + 194 = 180

2x + 194 - 194 = 180 - 194 (subtract both sides by 194)

2x = -14

2x/2 = -14/2 (divide both sides by 2)

x = -7
