6 lots can be created

Solution:

Given that neighborhood development that is 4 acres is to be divided into $\frac{2}{3}$ acre lots

To find: number of lots created

From given information,

Total acres = 4

one lot = $\frac{2}{3} \text{ acres }$

So number of lots created can be found by dividing the total acres by acre of 1 lot

Thus the formula is:

$\text{ Number of lots } = \frac{\text{ total acres }}{\text{ acre of 1 lot }}$

Substituting the values we get,

$\text{Number of lots } = \frac{4}{\frac{2}{3}} = 4 \times \frac{3}{2} = 6$

Thus 6 lots can be created

$( \frac{x^2 - x -12}{2x} )$ ÷ $( \frac{x^2 - 2x - 8}{4x^2} )$

= $( \frac{x^2 - x -12}{2x} )$ × $( \frac{4x^2}{x^2 - 2x - 8} )$

= $\frac{x(x^2 - x -12)}{x^2 - 2x - 8}$

= $\frac{x(x^2 -4x +3x -12)}{x^2 -4x +2x -8}$

= $\frac{x[x(x - 4) +3(x - 4)]}{x(x - 4) +2(x - 4)}$

= $\frac{x(x-4)(x+3)}{(x-4)(x+2)}$

= $\frac{x(x+3)}{(x+2)}$

Nate starts a lawn-mowing business. In his business, he has expenses and revenue. Nate's expenses are the cost of the lawn mower

Korolek [52]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

Nate starts a lawn-mowing business. In his business, he has expenses and revenue. Nate's expenses are the cost of the lawn mower and gas, and his revenue is $25 per lawn. At what point will Nate's revenue exceed his expense?

Cost of lawn mower = $ 200

Cost of gasoline = $ 2 per lawn

Solution :

Given :

Cost of the lawn mower = $ 200

The cost of gasoline expense for one lawn = $ 2

The revenue generated for one lawn = $ 25

So let the number of lawn to be mowed = x

Therefore the total expenses = $200+2x$
