Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

He sells them 8 dollars and uses 5 dollars worth of material.

His profit is 8 - 5 = 3 dollars.

He has to sell enough to overcome the 1200 dollars.

1200 / 3 = 400

He breaks even after selling 400 widgets.

Answer:

400

Step-by-step explanation:

The manufacturer spends $5 to make each widget and sells them for $8.  This means that each widget gives him a profit of $3.

8 - 5 = 3

You need to figure out how many widgets it will take for the manufacturer to make up for the costs each month ($1200).

3x = 1200

(3x)/3 = 1200/3

x = 400

The manufacturer needs to sell 400 widgets.

Laura lives 15 miles east of Kevin’s place. Kevin lives 8 miles south of Michelle’s place. How far does Michelle live from Laura
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

17 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define:

North as the positive y-axis

East as the positive x-axis.

We know that Laura lives 15 miles east of Kevin's place.

Kevin lives 8 miles south of Michelle's place.

So, if we define the origin, (0, 0) as Laura's place.

From:

"that Laura lives 15 miles east of Kevin's place."

We have that the location of Kevin's house is 15 miles west from Laura's place, then Kevin's house is at:

(0, 0) + (-15mi, 0) = (-15mi, 0)

From Kevin lives 8 miles south of Michelle's place, we know that Michelle's live 8 miles north of Kevin's place.

Then the location of Michele's house is the location of Kevin's plus (0, 8mi).

Michelle's house is located at:

(-15mi, 0) + (0, 8mi)  =(-15mi, 8mi)

Now we want to find the distance between Michelle's house and Laura's house.

Michelle's house is at (-15mi, 8mi)

Laura's house is at (0mi, 0mi)

Remember that the distance between two points (a, b) and (c, d) is given by:

D = \sqrt{(a - c)^2 + (b - d)^2}

Then the distance between  (-15mi, 8mi) and (0mi, 0mi) is:

D = \sqrt{(-15mi - 0mi)^2 + (8mi - 0mi)^2} = 17mi

The correct option is the first one, 17 miles.
