LaToya is buying corn chips and soda. She has 4 bags of corn chips and 5 bottles of soda in her shopping cart. The marginal utility of the fourth bag of corn chips is​ 10, and the marginal utility of the fifth bottle of soda is also 10. Is LaToya maximizing​ utility? A. No. She is maximizing marginal utility but not total utility. B. This cannot be determined because we do not know the price of corn chips and soda and whether or not she fully spent her budget allocated to corn chips and soda. C. Yes. She is maximizing utility. D. No. She is not maximizing marginal utility.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Option B: This cannot be determined because we do not know the price of corn chips and soda and whether or not she fully spent her budget allocated to corn chips and soda.

Step-by-step explanation:

Maximization of utility of the goods given is defined as the satisfaction or benefit La Toya derived based on the amount of money she spent on the corn chips and bottles of soda.

Now, for us to know if she is maximizing utility, we need to know the price of the goods and also if she spent all the money she allocated for the corn chips and bottle of soda. This would in turn help us to know how she spent her money and if the expenses she made was most beneficial to her.

Thus, the correct answer is Option B

Lin ran ran 2 3/4 miles in 2/5 of an hour. Noah ran 8 2/3 miles in 4/3 of an hour.


1. How far would Lin and Noah run in 1 hour?


2. How long would it take Lin and Noah to run 1 mile at that rate?


3. Who ran faster, Noah or Lin and why?

Answers

Answer:

1. Lin 6 7/8 miles, Noah 6 1/2 miles

2. Lin will take 8 8/11 minutes while Noah will take 9 3/13 minutes

3. Lin ran faster because it took him less amount of time to cover same distance of 1 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are told that Lina ran 2 3/4 miles in 2/5 of an hour while Noah ran 8 2/3 miles in 4/3 of an hour.

1. We want to know how far Noah will run in an hour

1 hour is 60 minutes;

So 4/3 of an hour is 4/3 * 60 = 80 minutes

thus;

if he ran 8 2/3 miles in 80 minutes

then he ran x miles in 1 hour(60 minutes)

8 2/3 is same as 26/3 miles

Thus;

26/3 * 60 = 80 * x

x = 26/3 * 60/80 = (26 * 20)/80 = 26/4 = 13/2 = 6 1/2 miles

Lin ran 2 3/4 miles in 2/5 hour (2/5 * 60 = 24 minutes)

2 3/4 miles took 24 minutes

x mile will take 60 minutes

60 * 2 3/4 = 24 * x

60 * 11/4 = 24x

165 = 24x

x = 165/24

x = 6 21/24 = 6 7/8 miles

Lin will run 6 7/8 miles in an hour

2. we want to know how long it will take both of them to run 1 mile

Lin ran 2 3/4 miles in 2/5 of an hour

meaning, he ran 2 3/4 in 2/5 * 60 = 24 minutes

2 3/4 miles was ran in 24 minutes

1 mile will take x minutes

1 * 24 = 2 3/4 * x

24 = 11/4 * x

x = 4 * 24/11 = 96/11 = 8 8/11 minutes

For Noah

6 1/2 miles was ran in 1 hour

1 mile will be ran in x hours

13/2 * x = 60 minutes * 1

x = (2 * 60)/13

x = 120/13

x = 9 3/13 minutes

c. Lin ran faster because he took the lesser amount of time to travel 1 mile

Answer:

1. Lin 6 7/8 miles, Noah 6 1/2 miles

2. Lin will take 8 8/11 minutes while Noah will take 9 3/13 minutes

3. Lin ran faster because it took him less amount of time to cover same distance of 1 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are told that Lina ran 2 3/4 miles in 2/5 of an hour while Noah ran 8 2/3 miles in 4/3 of an hour.

1. We want to know how far Noah will run in an hour

1 hour is 60 minutes;

So 4/3 of an hour is 4/3 * 60 = 80 minutes

thus;

if he ran 8 2/3 miles in 80 minutes

then he ran x miles in 1 hour(60 minutes)

8 2/3 is same as 26/3 miles

Thus;

26/3 * 60 = 80 * x

x = 26/3 * 60/80 = (26 * 20)/80 = 26/4 = 13/2 = 6 1/2 miles

Lin ran 2 3/4 miles in 2/5 hour (2/5 * 60 = 24 minutes)

2 3/4 miles took 24 minutes

x mile will take 60 minutes

60 * 2 3/4 = 24 * x

60 * 11/4 = 24x

165 = 24x

x = 165/24

x = 6 21/24 = 6 7/8 miles

Lin will run 6 7/8 miles in an hour

2. we want to know how long it will take both of them to run 1 mile

Lin ran 2 3/4 miles in 2/5 of an hour

meaning, he ran 2 3/4 in 2/5 * 60 = 24 minutes

2 3/4 miles was ran in 24 minutes

1 mile will take x minutes

1 * 24 = 2 3/4 * x

24 = 11/4 * x

x = 4 * 24/11 = 96/11 = 8 8/11 minutes

For Noah

6 1/2 miles was ran in 1 hour

1 mile will be ran in x hours

13/2 * x = 60 minutes * 1

x = (2 * 60)/13

x = 120/13

x = 9 3/13 minutes

c. Lin ran faster because he took the lesser amount of time to travel 1 mile

3. A function f(x) has a slope of -and passes through
the point (-3,7). Explain how the graph of f(x)
could be used to find the y-intercept.

Answers

Answer:

Well. this is kinda trivial.

For a function f(x) = y.

The y-intercept is defined as the point where the graph of f(x) intersects the x-axis.

This always happens at x = 0.

So the y-intercept is equal to f(0).

Now, if we have the graph of f(x), you simply can see at what value of y does the graph intersect the x-axis, and that will be the y-intercept.

If a business receives an invoice for services purchased on account on December 1st for $8,000, how much should the business write a check for to pay the invoice in full on December 8th if the terms are 1/10, n/15?

Answers

Answer:

The amount that should be written on the check is $7920

Step-by-step explanation:

The explanation of the question is given as:

1/10 = 1% discount to be given if paid within 10 days

n/15 = full amount to be paid within 15 days.

From the question, we can see that:

If the check for the invoice is given on December 8th, it is still within the discount time of 10 days.

Discount amount = $8000 × 1%

= $80

$8000 - $80

= $7920

Hence, the amount that should be written on the check is $7920

Answers

Mean =6

If u need steps then message me here x

Answer:

mean = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

mean: add all values and divide by the number of values

median: place all values in ascending order and choose the middle value; if there is an even number of values, the median is the mean of the two middle values.

There are 5 values: 7, 8, 8, 4, 3

a) mean

Add all values and divide by the number of values.

mean = (7 + 8 + 8 + 4 + 3)/5 = 30/5 = 6

mean = 6

b) median

Place values in ascending order.

3, 4, 7, 8, 8

The middle value is 7.

Nana has a water purifier that filters \dfrac13 3 1 ​ start fraction, 1, divided by, 3, end of the contaminants each hour.

Write a function that gives the remaining amount of contaminants in kilograms, C(t)C(t)C, left parenthesis, t, right parenthesis, ttt hours after Nana started purifying the water.

Answers

Answer:

(1/2) * (2/3)^t

Step-by-step explanation:

Nana has a water purifier that filters 1/3 of the contaminants each hour. She used it to purify water that had 1/2 kilogram of contaminants.

Write a function that gives the remaining amount of contaminants in kilograms, C(t), t hours after Nana started purifying the water.

C(t)=

The water purifier will filter 1/3 of the current contaminants each hour.

1/3 ÷ 1/2

= 1/3 × 2/1

= 2/3

This means, it willreduce the contaminant into 2/3 of it current mass

To derive the equation,

Multiply the contaminant with 2/3 every hour

(1/2) * (2/3)^t

Where t = hours
