I gave 3 packs of baseball cards to my friends. Each friend got 1/3 of a pack. How many friends got baseball cards

1 answer:

3 0

Alright, so we want to know how many times 1/3 goes into 3 to see how many friends got cards. To do that, we divide 3 by 1/3, getting 3/(1/3)=(3/1)/(1/3)=
(3/1)*(3/1)=9 friends

Kay [80]

Answer: 7/12

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are told that Chelsea plays soccer 4/12 of the year and swims 3/12 of the year before taking a break from playing sports.

The fraction of the year that Chelsea spend participating in sports will be the addition of the fraction used for playing soccer and the fraction use for swimming. This will be:

= 4/12 + 3/12

= 7/12

A bakery finds that the price they can sell cakes is given by the function p = 580 − 10x where x is the number of cakes sold per

dexar [7]

Answer:

The total revenue is $TR=580x-10x^2$ .

The marginal revenue is $MR=580-20x$ .

The fixed cost is $900.

The marginal cost function is $MC=50x+300$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The Total Revenue ( $TR$ ) received from the sale of $x$ goods at price $p$ is given by

$TR=p\cdot x$

The Marginal Revenue ( $MR$ ) is the derivative of total revenue with respect to demand and is given by

$MR=\frac{d(TR)}{dx}$

From the information given we know that the price they can sell cakes is given by the function $p=580-10x$ , where $x$ is the number of cakes sold per day.

So, the total revenue is

$TR=(580-10x)\cdot x\\TR=580x-10x^2$

And the marginal revenue is

$MR=\frac{d}{dx}(580x-10x^2) \\\\\mathrm{Apply\:the\:Sum/Difference\:Rule}:\quad \left(f\pm g\right)'=f\:'\pm g'\\\\MR=\frac{d}{dx}\left(580x\right)-\frac{d}{dx}\left(10x^2\right)\\\\MR=580-20x$

The Fixed Cost ( $FC$ ) is the amount of money you have to spend regardless of how many items you produce.

The Marginal Cost ( $MC$ ) function is the derivative of the cost function and is given by

$MC=\frac{d(TC)}{dx}$

We know that the total cost function of the company is given by $C=(30+5x)^2$ , which it is equal to

$\mathrm{Apply\:Perfect\:Square\:Formula}:\quad \left(a+b\right)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2\\a=30,\:\:b=5x\\\\\left(30+5x\right)^2=30^2+2\cdot \:30\cdot \:5x+\left(5x\right)^2=25x^2+300x+900\\\\C=25x^2+300x+900$

From the total cost function and applying the definition of fixed cost, the fixed cost is $900.

And the marginal cost function is

$MC=\frac{d}{\:dx}\left(25x^2+300x+900\right)\\\\MC=\frac{d}{dx}\left(25x^2\right)+\frac{d}{dx}\left(300x\right)+\frac{d}{dx}\left(900\right)\\\\MC=50x+300+0=50x+300$
