Answer:

The ratio of the number of chocolates that contain nuts to the number of chocolates = 1:4

Step-by-step explanation:

The parameters given are;

Proportion of the box of chocolates that contain nuts = 1/5

Proportion of the box of chocolates that do not contain nuts = 1 - 1/5 = 4/5

Therefore, we have in a box of chocolates with five chocolates;

The number of chocolates that contain nuts = 1

The number of chocolates that do not contain nuts = 4

Which gives the ratio of the number of chocolates that contain nuts to the number of chocolates as 1:4.

Answer:

250

Step-by-step explanation:

4/16 = 1/4 = .25

When dividing exponents, subtract the bottom from the top, so 10^{5}÷10^{2} = 10^{3}

So, .25 * 10^{3} = 250

A home gardener estimates that 18 apple trees will produce an average yield of 80 apples per tree. But because of the size of th
aliina [53]

19 trees should be planted to maximize the total

<h3>How many trees should be planted to maximize the total</h3>

From the question, we have the following parameters:

Number of apples, x = 18

Yield, f(x) = 80 per tree

When the number of apple trees is increased (say by x).

We have:

Trees = 18 + x

The yield decreases by four apples per tree.

So, we have

Yield = 80 - 4x

So, the profit function is

P(x) = Apples * Yield

This gives

P(x) = (18 + x) *(80 - 4x)

Expand the bracket

P(x) = 1440 - 72x + 80x - 4x^2

Differentiate the function

P'(x) = 0 - 72 + 80 - 8x

Evaluate the like terms

P'(x) = 8 - 8x

Set P'(x) to 0

8 - 8x = 0

Divide through by 8

1 - x = 0

Solve for x

x = 1

Recall that:

Trees = 18 + x

So, we have

Trees = 18 + 1

Evaluate

Trees = 19

Hence, 19 trees should be planted to maximize the total

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

(12x - 6)/5

Step-by-step explanation:

6(2x-1)/5 => (12x - 6)/5 because of the distributive property.

You cannot simplify farther after you reach (12x - 6)/5.
