No, these equations are not equivalent. 

1/5, or one fifth, is part of a whole. Imagine you have a pie, cut into five pieces, and your friend comes over and eats four pieces, so now you have one of the five original pieces. That's what you have here. 

5/5, or five fifths, is a whole. any number divided by itself is automatically one, so it is like making another pie and cutting it into five pieces, only this time no one eats any of it because it's burned or something. At the end, you have five pieces of pie

5/1 is actually just another way of writing plain old 5. To keep the pie example rolling, you have five pies, and no one eats any of these either, so they are all yours. You have 5 pies divided between one person, so at the end of the day you have 5 whole pies. 

Hope that helped!

No because 1/5 is 20% and 5/5 is 100% also 5/1 is 5= 5/5 =1=100%

1. The manager of FrozonAir Refrigerator factory notices that on Monday it cost the company a total of $25,000 to build 30 refri
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

The fixed costs per day for the factory is $10,000 and marginal cost of one refrigerator for $500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Cost per refrigerator (marginal cost) = r

Fixed costs per day for the factory = f

Total cost = variable cost + fixed cost

Monday

25,000 = 30r + f

Tuesday

30,000 = 40r + f

Using Monday,

f = 25000 -30r

Substitute f = 25000 - 30r into Tuesday

30,000 = 40r + f

30,000 = 40r + (25,000 -30r)

30,000 = 40r + 25,000 - 30r

Collect like terms

30,000 - 25,000 = 40r - 30r

5,000 = 10r

Divide both sides by 10

r = 5,000 / 10

= 500

r = $500

Substitute r= 500 into Monday equation

f = 25,000 -30r

= 25,000 - 30(500)

= 25,000 - 15,000

= 10,000

f = $10,000

Therefore, the fixed costs per day for the factory is $10,000 and marginal cost of one refrigerator for $500
