Answer:

The cost of producing the article is -3500 (Negative cost)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are

The ratio of the profit to material cost to production labor = 5:7:13

The amount of the material cost = 840 + Labor cost

Let the total cost = X

Therefore, we have;

The fraction of the total cost that is material cost = 7/(5 + 7 + 13) = 7/25

Therefore, the material cost = 7/25 × X

The fraction of the total cost that is labor cost = 13/(5 + 7 + 13) = 13/25

Therefore, the labor cost = 13/25 × X

However, the amount of the material cost = 840 + Labor cost, which gives;

7/25 × X = 13/25 × X + 840

7/25 × X - 13/25 × X = 840

-6/25 × X= 840

X = 840/(-6/25) = 840×(-25/6) = -3500

The cost of producing the article = -3500.

Three friends Steve, Jake and Jodie shared a pizza. Steve ate 2/5 of the pizza and Jake ate 1/4
nlexa [21]
Note that they together ate all of the pizza.
Therefore the total fractions they ate should add up to 1.

By letting the fraction Jodie ate be x.

x + 2/5 + 1/4 = 1
x = 7/20

The answer is 7/20.

Basically you find the data points and fill in the values. For Point J it is (2,4). They want you to do this: (2-4,4-6)...it then becomes (-2,-2).
So 
J: (-2,-2)
K: (-1, -4)
I: (-2, -5)
Those are your new points. I hope this helps love! :)

Answer: 103

Step-by-step explanation:

8 x 6.5 = 52,

52 + 8 = 60 (pints in total)

there are 2 cups in 1 pint so 60 x 2 = 120

120 - 17 = 103

How many times larger is 700 than 70?
Strike441 [17]
When it comes to hundreds and thousands and even millions, you can tell how much bigger something is by how many more zeros are at the end. Each new zero added, is another rank up. The system goes:

1=10x bigger
2=100x bigger
3=1000x bigger
4=10000x bigger 
5=100000 bigger

so on and so forth. There are 2 zeros in 700, and only 1 zero in 70, the difference in zeros is 1, so you can refer to the chart and conclude that 700 is 10 times bigger than 70. You could also divide 700 by 70 to get 10. This is more accurate, but the chart is simpler.
