A farmer has 20 acres to plant in wheat and barley. He has to plant at least 15 acres. Wheat costs $200 per acre to plant and ba

rley costs $150 per acre, and the farmer has only $2400 to spend. If the estimated profit of an acre of wheat is $450 and the estimated profit of an acre of barley is $350, how many acres of each should the farmer plant to maximize his profits?

Answer:

  • 16 acres of barley only (no acres of wheat)

Step-by-step explanation:

A graph shows cost of planting puts an upper limit on planted area. The lower limit is provided by the requirement to plant at least 15 acres. The vertices of the feasible solution region are ...

  (wheat acres, barley acres) = {(0, 15), (0, 16), (3, 12)}

The profit associated with these scenarios will be ...

  for (0, 16): 16·350 = 5600

  for (3, 12): 3·450 +12·350 = 1350 +4200 = 5550

To maximize profit, the farmer should plant 16 acres of barley.

Sophie [7]

Answer:

The length of DE is 14 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in triangle ABC segment DE is parallel to the side AC . (The endpoints of segment DE lie on the sides AB and BC respectively). we have to find the length of DE.

Given lengths are AC=20cm, AB=17cm, and BD=11.9cm

In ΔBDE and ΔBAC

∠BDE=∠BAC       (∵Corresponding angles)

∠BED=∠BCA       (∵Corresponding angles)

By AA similarity rule, ΔBDE~ΔBAC

∴their corresponding sides are in proportion

⇒ \frac{BE}{BC}=\frac{BD}{BA}=\frac{DE}{AC}

⇒ \frac{BD}{BA}=\frac{DE}{AC}

⇒ \frac{11.9}{17}=\frac{DE}{20}

⇒ DE=\frac{20\times 11.9}{17}=14cm

Goshia [24]

Answer:

I am pretty sure that your answer would be 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason why is because if B if half of line segment AD and AD is equal to 12, then B must be equal to 6 since half of 12 is 6. Next, since C is the mid-point for line segment BD then C must be 3 since half of 6 is 3. And finally, that means line segment BC is three since it is 1/2 of BD.

Hope this helps! :)

Joshua started cycling at 5:15 pm By 8:09 pm, he has covered a distance of 7250 mWhat was Joshua's average speed during that tim
vivado [14]

The average speed of Joshua during that time is 2500 m/h.

Explanation:

It is given that Joshua started cycling at 5:15 pm. By 8:09 pm he has covered a distance of 7250 m.

The total time taken by Joshua from 5:15 pm to 8:09 pm is

2 { h } 54 \text { min }=2 \mathrm{h}+\frac{54}{60} {h}

Dividing we get,

2 { h } 54 \text { min }=2 \mathrm{h}+0.9 {h}

Adding, we have,

2 { h } 54 \text { min }=2.9 {h}

Thus, the total time taken by Joshua is 2.9 {h}

To determine the average speed we use the formula,

speed=\frac{distance}{time}

where distance=7250 and time=2.9

Hence, substituting the values we have,

speed=\frac{7250}{2.9}

Dividing, we get,

speed=2500

Thus, the average speed of Joshua during that time is 2500 m/h.
