You need to multiply 1/3 by 6 1/4 lb.
Change 6 1/4 into a fraction.

1/3 * 6 1/4 = 1/3 * 25/4 = 25/12 = 2 1/12

Answer: 2 1/12 lb

Vincent and Jean are two cooks who work in a village. Each of them can either bake cakes or make pizzas. Every ingredient is rea

babymother [125]

Answer:

a) Jean b) Jean c) Vincent d) Jean

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question.

Vincent can bake 10 cakes or make 5 pizzas

Jean can bake 12 cake or make 8 pizzas.

a) Absolute advantage of baking cake

Jean has the absolute advantage of baking cake as he can bake more cakes as compared to Vincent.

b) Absolute advantage of making pizza

Jean has the absolute advantage of making pizza as he can make more pizzas as compared to Vincent.

In order to find comparative advantage, we find the opportunity cost which can be defined as:

$\text{Opportunity Cost} = \displaystyle\frac{\text{What one sacrifices}}{\text{What one gains}}$

c) Comparative advantage in baking cakes

Opportunity cost of Vincent for baking cakes = $\frac{5}{10} = \frac{1}{2}$

Opportunity cost of Jean for baking cakes = $\frac{8}{12} = \frac{2}{3}$

The less is the opportunity cost the better, hence, Vincent has comparative advantage in baking cakes.

d) Comparative advantage in making pizzas

Opportunity cost of Vincent for making pizzas = $\frac{10}{5} = 2$

Opportunity cost of Jean for making pizzas = $\frac{12}{8} = \frac{3}{2}$

The less is the opportunity cost the better, hence, Jean has comparative advantage in making pizzas.

A trapezoid is broken into 2 triangles and 1 rectangle. The triangles both have a base of 2 meters and a height of 5 meters. The

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

Part 1) The trapezoid has an area of $20\ m^2$

Part 2) The kite has an area of $21\ m^2$

Part 3) The area of the trapezoid is less than the area of the kite

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1

Find the area of trapezoid

we know that

The area of trapezoid is equal to the area of two congruent triangles plus the area of a rectangle

so

$A=2[\frac{1}{2} (2)(5)]+(2)(5)$

$A=10+10=20\ m^2$

Part 2

Find the area of the kite

we know that

The area of the kite is equal to the area of two congruent triangles

so

$A=2[\frac{1}{2} (7)(3)]=21\ m^2$

Part 3

Compare the areas

The trapezoid has an area of $20\ m^2$

The kite has an area of $21\ m^2$

so

$20\ m^2< 21\ m^2$

therefore

The area of the trapezoid is less than the area of the kite
