Suppose that a worker in Caninia can produce either 2 blankets or 8 meals per day, and a worker in Felinia can produce either 5

blankets or 1 meal per day. Each nation has 10 workers. For many years, the two countries traded, each completely specializing according to their respective comparative advantages. Now war has broken out between them and all trade has stopped. Without trade, Caninia produces and consumes 10 blankets and 40 meals per day and Felinia produces and consumes 25 blankets and 5 meals per day. The war has caused the combined daily output of the two countries to decline by

Answer:

The answer to the question is

The war has caused the combined daily output of the two countries to decline by 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this we have

a worker at Caninia  produce Blankets = 2 and Meals = 8

a worker at Felinia produce Blankets = 5 and Meals = 1

Each country has 10 workers, therefore, total production rate for each of the two countries is

Caninia  produce Blankets = 20 and Meals = 80

Felinia produce Blankets = 50 and Meals = 10

Total production = Blankets = 70 and Meals = 90

Without trade between the two countries we have

Caninia  produce Blankets = 10 and Meals = 40

Felinia produce Blankets = 25 and Meals = 5

Total production = Blankets = 35 and Meals = 45

Therefore the war has caused the combined daily output of the two countries to decrease by

Initial  total production = Blankets = 70 and Meals = 90

Present total production = Blankets = 35 and Meals = 45

Difference in production= Blankets = 35 and Meals = 45

(Decline in production)/(Initial production)×100

For blankets → (35/70)×100 = 50 % decrease

For Meals → (45/90)×100 = 50 % decrease

Total decrease in daily output for the two countries = 50 %

Homer wants to identify the center and radius of the circle defined by the equation...​
Goryan [66]

Answer:

Step 2, he didn't add the values he completed the square with to both sides.

Step-by-step explanation:

When you complete the square, you need to add the values to both sides, not just one.

So when Homer added 49 + 1 or 50 to the left side of the equation, he should've also added 50 to the right side of the equation.

Hence, the equation would now be :

(x-7)^2 + (y+1)^2 = 75

All the boxes in a certain warehouse were arranged in stacks of 12 boxes each, with no boxes left over. After 60 additional boxe
AveGali [126]

Answer:

(1) There were fewer than 110 boxes in the warehouse before the 60 additional boxes arrived. (2) There were fewer than 120 boxes in the warehouse after the 60 additional boxes arrived.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that all the boxes in a certain warehouse were arranged in stacks of 12 boxes each, with no boxes left over.

This implies that boxes are in multiples of 12

i.e. 12, or 24, or 36 or....

Let us say this as 12m for m an integer

Now additional boxes arrived =60

Total number of boxes now = 12m+60

This when arranged in stacks of 14,nothing left out

Or this is multiple of 14

12m+60 = 14n for some positive integer n.

By trial and error we find that if 60 is to be divided by 14, 24 should be added and 24 is a multiple of 12.

So we say originally 24 boxes were there now 84 boxes there.

Hence both options are right.

(1) There were fewer than 110 boxes in the warehouse before the 60 additional boxes arrived. (2) There were fewer than 120 boxes in the warehouse after the 60 additional boxes arrived.
