The amount of fabric needed for Jimmy's costume is not stated, we can only determine the amount needed for Rob's costume, which makes it impossible to compare the amounts needed for both of their costumes. If this omission was an error, then you can find the difference between these amounts if the amount needed for Jimmy's costume is stated explicitly.
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of yards of fabric needed for Robs costume is (7/8+1/2+1 3/4)÷2
Assuming 1 3/4 is a mixed fraction.
= (7/8 + 1/2 + 7/4) ÷ 2
= (7 + 4 + 2) ÷ (8 × 2)
= 13/16 yards
Suppose 2 yards of fabric is needed for Jimmy's costume, then comparing with Rob's yards, we see that Jimmy's costume requires (2 - 13/16 = 19/16) more yards than Rob's costume.
Here is my work for the problem. Hope this helps!
Every economic decision has "a consequence or tradeoff" - this final answer choice is correct. Every time that an individual, business, or institution makes an economic decision, they always forgo an opportunity to use the same capital or resources for other endeavors. As such, there is a tradeoff incurred by not making the decision to use the resource in another manner. This is known as opportunity cost and is one of the fundamental tenets of economic theory.
Answer:
$15 for a lawn, $105 for seven lawns.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is about the direct ratio problem. Logically, you will earn more if you mow more lawn.
The scheme for this ratio is given below:
15 n_________n lawns
x_________ 1 lawn
You will earn 15 dollars for mowing a lawn
When you mow 7 lawns, the scheme will be in this manner:
15 n__________n lawns
x__________7 lawns
You will earn 105 dollars
<u>Answer:</u>
$50 and $115
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
We know that,
the sum of the two rates = $165 per hour
Let x and (165 - x) represent the $/hour of the 15hr and 5hr mechanics respectively.
Then combining their charges together to get:
Solving for x to get:
So the rate charged per hour by one mechanic is $50 and for the other mechanic = 
$115.
