Answer:

Step-by-step explanation

$\frac{3}{8}=\frac{a}{2}\\\\\frac{3}{8}*2=a\\\\a=\frac{3}{4}\\\\\\\frac{3}{8}=\frac{15}{b}\\\\ 3*b=15*8\\\\b=\frac{15*8}{3}\\\\b=5*8\\\\b=40$

Answer:a=3/4 and b=40

Step-by-step explanation:

To find 3/8=a/2=15/b

Firstly find a

3/8=a/2

Cross multiply

8a=3×2

8a=6

a=6/8

a=3/4

To find b

a/2=15/b

Where a=3/4

3/4/2=15/b

3/8=15/b

Cross multiply

3b=120

b=40

a=3/4 and b=40

BD is the angle bisector of

AlexFokin [52]

Note: Let us consider, we need to find the $m\angle ABC$ and $m\angle DBC$ .

Given:

In the given figure, BD is the angle bisector of ABC.

To find:

The $m\angle ABC$ and $m\angle DBC$ .

Solution:

BD is the angle bisector of ABC. So,

$m\angle ABD=m\angle DBC$

$3x=x+20$

$3x-x=20$

$2x=20$

Divide both sides by 2.

$x=\dfrac{20}{2}$

$x=10$

Now,

$m\angle DBC=(x+20)^\circ$

$m\angle DBC=(10+20)^\circ$

$m\angle DBC=30^\circ$

And,

$m\angle ABC=(3x)^\circ+(x+20)^\circ$

$m\angle ABC=(4x+20)^\circ$

$m\angle ABC=(4(10)+20)^\circ$

$m\angle ABC=(40+20)^\circ$

$m\angle ABC=60^\circ$

Therefore, $m\angle DBC=30^\circ,m\angle ABD=30^\circ$ and $m\angle ABC=60^\circ$ .

Given that e= 2i – 5j + 9k and f= 8i + 15j + k, find 3f – 2e.

ipn [44]

Plug in "8i + 15j + k" for "f", and "2i – 5j + 9k" for "e"

3(8i + 15j + k) - 2(2i – 5j + 9k)

Distribute 3 to (8i + 15j + k) & - 2 to (2i – 5j + 9k)

3(8i + 15j + k) = 24i + 45j + 3k

-2(2i - 5j + 9k) = -4i + 10j - 18k

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Simplify. Combine like terms

24i - 4i + 45j + 10j + 3k - 18k

(24i - 4i) + (45j + 10j) + (3k - 18k)

20i + 55j - 15k is your answer, or (C)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

never [62]

Company fixed cost = $10 million = $10,000,000

Variable cost per pair = $5

Company charges each pair = $15

Hence the company makes $10 profit per pair regardless the company fixed cost and only considering the variable cost.

Let subtract the variable cost per pair from the company charging each pair = 15 - 5 = $10

Thus the company now makes $10 per pair, and it has to sell 1,000,000 pairs of gloves to reach the break-even point. The break-even point refers to the point where total cost and revenue are equal.

<span>Thus for 1,000,000 pairs, the company total earning = 10 x 1,000,000 = $10,000,000 = $10 million </span>
