Hey there,
For the first one, your answer will be C. The height of the plant increases by 2 mm for every hour of sunlight it receives. For the second one, It is B.<span>There is a strong negative relationship between x and y. And the last one is B. </span><span> It is greater for Group B than Group A.
I hope I helped :)</span>
Answer:
The maximum profit will be reached by buying 500 brass magnetic spheres and 1500 silver magnetic spheres.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to solve this you need to create a system of equations, with two values that will create the answer we are looking for, the thing that we don't know here is how many of each are we buying so the number of silver magnetic spheres will be represented by "y" and the brass magnetic spheres will be represented by "x".
So we know that x+y=2000
That's our first equation, our second would be the expense, which would be
8x+16y=20,000
We now just solve for one of them
x=(2000-y)
8(2000-y)+16y=20,000
16,000-8y+16y=20,000
8y=4,000
y=500
So we know that the maximum profit will be reached by buying 500 brass magnetic spheres and 1500 silver magnetic spheres.
Remark
The reduced ratio of 124/6 = 62 / 3
How was that obtained?
Notice it won't reduce any further.
5/15 simplified is 1/3
