To determine which investment produces a $5 hourly profit for a candy shop, earning $1 profit per pound of candy, we have to analize each option.

1- Worker at $10 per hour, producing eight pounds of candy per hour. This option results in a $2 loss per hour, since the earnings are lower than the costs (8-10= -2).

2- Worker at $12 per hour, producing 16 pounds of candy per hour. This one results in a $4 profit, as the cost is lower than the earnings (16-12= 4).

3- Machine with $5 per hour operating cost, producing 10 pounds of candy per hour. Here we have a $5 profit, as the cost is of $5 and the earnings are of $10 (10-5= 5).

4- Machine with $8 per hour operating cost, producing 14 pounds of candy per hour . In this option, we have a $6 profit (14-8= 6).

So, the investment that produces a $5 hourly profit for a candy shop earning $1 profit per pound of candy is the third option, that is, a machine with $5 per hour operating cost, producing 10 pounds of candy per hour.

A fault (F) breaks three layers of sedimentary rock (S). An igneous intrusion (I1) has broken through the bottommost layer of ro
Harman [31]

Answer:

The intrusion of I1 or I2 is the youngest event. Without more information, we cannot know which igneous rock is youngest.

Explanation:

The information contained in the question above is not sufficient to determine which of the two igneous rock intrusions is the youngest event, although we can say that it was one of the two.

Even in the absence of a complete answer, it is worth describing what an ignea rock is. Ignal rocks can also be called magmatic rocks and are characterized as a terrestrial rock that originated from the solidification of magma, without having previously undergone a process of sedimentation or metamorphism. As you may already know, magma can solidify and cool on the earth's surface, or inside the earth, giving rise to extrusive and intrusive igneous rocks.

However, the rising prices in international food prices also contribute to the famine in Somalia.
