1/6 is larger. Say you have a pizza, if you had 7 pieces of pizza, they would be smaller than 6 slices of pizza.
A pound of ham is 9.88$ and a pound of beef 5.51$ answer ham doesn't cost less roast beef is 4.37$ cheaper a LB.
Step-by-step explanation:
x^3 is a perfect cube, 8 is a perfect cube, so we use difference of cubes.

Cube root of x^3 is x.
Cube root of 8 is 2
So
a=x
b= 2.

Set these equations equal to zero



If we do the discriminant, we get a negative answer so we would have two imaginary solutions,
Thus the only real root is 2.
If you want imaginary solutions, apply the quadratic formula.

Well if you are looking for the profit margin we need how much is was when she bought it, because it doesn't say, you can't say It's a increase or a decrease, so you could say this is a investment.
But considering you put this under mathematics I assume there is more to this question you forgot to post.
