If Chile and Colombia switch from each country dividing its time equally between the production of coffee and soybeans to each c
ountry spending all of its time producing the good in which it has a comparative advantage, then total production of soybeans will increase by
1 answer:
Answer:
The production will increase by 3 pounds.
Explanation:
Attached graphs for missing information
If they divide their time equally. Each country will spend half of the recsources on each product thus, making half of each
Then Chile will produce:
12 soybeams x 50% = 6
and Colombia 6 soybeams x 50% = 3
For a total of 9 pounds of soybeams
While if they produce only the resource they have competitive advantage, only Chile will produce it giving a total of 12 soybeams
The production will increase by 3 pounds.

Answer:
The correct answer is:
5×5700 yr = 28,500 years (d)
Explanation:
The half life of an element/atom is the time is takes for that element/atom to decay to half of its original mass/size.
It was found that the carbon-14 atom had decayed until only of the original size is still remaining.
Now, let us first find how many half lives are in one-sixteenth, and that is =
. so it means that there are 4 half lives in one-sixteenth, and since one half life takes approximately 5700 years, therefore 4 half lives will take 4×5700 yr = 22, 800 years, but at this point (22,800 years ago)the fossil has already half-life, therefore the additional age is to add the number of years it took to decay that half life. hence the age of fossil is:
22,800 + 5700 = 28, 500 years
