Answer: 2/3 books on politics
Step-by-step explanation:
The opportunity cost of something is the next best alternative that you would have taken if you did not instead go for the option that you took.
Opportunity cost here is the number of books on politics that Bill had to give up to get a single book on history.
= Number of politics books / Number of history books
= 4 / 6
= 2/3 books on politics
<em>Bill gave up 2/3 books on politics to get a single history book. </em>

Answer: C. 3/7</h3>
There are 3 places in which are cities and they are in North America (Houston, Miami, Toronto). This is out of 7 places total.
Answer:
6 Chickens
Step-by-step explanation:
Let H represent the number of horses and C represent the number of chickens. Since there are 32 legs altogether this means that on equation to use would be given by:
2C + 4 H = 32 (Eq. 1)
Another equation can be made from the fact that there are 11 heads or 11 animals altogether which can be written as:
C + H = 11 (Eq. 2)
From Eq. 2, solve for the number of chickens:
C + H = 11
C = 11 - H (Eq. 3)
Substituting Eq. 3 in Eq. 1, the number of horses can be determined:
2 C + 4 H = 32
2 ( 11 − H ) + 4 H = 32
22 − 2 H + 4 H = 32
2H = 32 − 22
2 H = 10
H = 5 Eq.4
Putting Eq.4 in Eq.1
2C + 4*5 = 32
2C = 32 - 20
2C = 12
C = 12/2
C = 6
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question
On a flight New York to London an airplane travels at a constant speed. An equation relating the distance traveled in miles d to the number of hours flying t is t= 1/500d. How long will it take the airplane to travel 800 miles?
Speed is the change in distance if a body with respect to time. It is expressed mathematically according to the question as t = 1/500 × d
To determine the time it will take to travel 800miles, we will substitute d = 800 into the modeled equation.
t = 1/500 × 800
t = 800/500
t = 8/5
t = 1.6
