3. In a single growing season at the Smith Family Orchard, the average yield per apple tree is 150 apples when the number of tre

es per acre is 100. For each additional tree over 100, the average yield per tree decreases by 1.
a. What would be the average yield per tree if the number of trees per acre was doubled? What would be the total yield in that case?
b. How many trees should be planted per acre to maximize the total yield?

Answer:

<em><u>A.10000</u></em>

<em><u>B.25 more trees must be planted</u></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

⇒Given:

  • The intial average yield per acre y_{i} = 150
  • The initial number of trees per acre  t_{i} = 100
  • For each additional tree over 100, the average yield per tree decreases by 1 i.e , if the number trees become 101 , the avg yield becomes 149.
  • Total yield = (number of trees per acre)*(average yield per acre)

<em>A.</em>

⇒If the total trees per acre is doubled , which means :

total number of trees per acre t_{f} = 2*t_{i} = 200

the yield will decrease by : t_{f} - y_{i}

y_{f}= 150-100= 50

⇒total yield = 50*200=10000

<em>B.</em>

⇒to maximize the yield ,

let's take the number of trees per acre to be 100+y ;

and thus the average yield per acre = 150 - y;

total yield = (100+y)*(150-y)\\=15000+50y-y^{2} \\

this is a quadratic equation. this can be rewritten as ,

     ⇒   =15000+50y-y^{2}\\=15000+625 - (625 - 50y +y^{2})\\=15625 - (y-25)^{2}

In this equation , the total yield becomes maximum when y=25;

<u><em>⇒Thus the total number of trees per acre = 100+25 =125;</em></u>

Add or subtract. Express simplest form 1 2/5 - (-1 2/15
Elenna [48]
Its 2 8/15 Conversion a mixed number 1 2
5
to a improper fraction: 1 2/5 = 1 2
5
= 1 · 5 + 2
5
= 5 + 2
5
= 7
5


To find new numerator:
a) Multiply the whole number 1 by the denominator 5. Whole number 1 equally 1 * 5
5
= 5
5

b) Add the answer from previous step 5 to the numerator 2. New numerator is 5 + 2 = 7
c) Write previous answer (new numerator 7) over the denominator 5.

One and two fifths is seven fifths
Conversion a mixed number -1 2

to a improper fraction: -1 2/15 = -1 2
15
= -1 · 15 + (-2)
15

15
= -17
15


To find new numerator:
a) Multiply the whole number -1 by the denominator 15. Whole number -1 equally -1 * 15
15
= -15
15

b) Add the answer from previous step -15 to the numerator 2. New numerator is -15 + 2 = -13
c) Write previous answer (new numerator -13) over the denominator 15.

Minus one and two fifteenths is minus thirteen fifteenth
Subtract: 7

) = 7 · 3
5 · 3
- (-17)
15
= 21
15
- (-17

) = 21 - (-17)
15
= 38
15

The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of the both denominators - LCM(5, 15) = 15. The fraction result cannot be further simplified by cancelling.
In words - seven fifths minus minus seventeen fifteenth = thirty-eight fifteenths.

6/7 divided by 12/14 please show the work
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

When dividing one fraction by another, the best way to solve it is to multiply by the reciprocal. The reciprocal just flipping the fraction over. So you would leave the 6/7 and the multiply by 14/12( because you are multiplying by the reciprocal). When you do that, you then can just multiply the top and the bottom to form one fraction. The numerator is 6*14 = 84, and the denominator is 7*14 = 84. So you are left with 84/84 which anything over itself is equal to one.

Hope this helps!
