If NO = 17 and NP = 5x -6, find the value of x. Then find NO and OP.

Sari's claim is incorrect because dividing 120.78 by 9.9 equals approximately 12.2, and since 12 is less than 12.2, her estimate is not actually greater than the true result.

Answer:

X ball bearings can be produced in 1 hour and 20 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportions

Proportions serve as an essential method for solving various common challenges. We understand that:

Company ABC manufactures X ball bearings in 3 hours.

Company DEF produces X ball bearings in 4 hours.

Company GHI generates X ball bearings in 6 hours.

In a single hour, each company is capable of producing:

ABC: X/3 ball bearings

DEF: X/4 ball bearings

GHI: X/6 ball bearings

By collaborating, they can produce

ball bearings. Operating together

If their output is 3/4 of a ball bearing in one hour, then it will take

hours to create one complete ball bearing. This translates to 1 hour and 20 minutes.

X ball bearings can be produced in 1 hour and 20 minutes

Answer:

(a) What will his age be after 5 years?

"5 + y" years old

(b) What was his age 6 years ago?

"y - 6" years old

(c) If his grandfather’s age is five times his, how old is his grandfather?

"5y" years old

(d) His father is 6 years older than three times his age. How old is his father?

"6 + 3y" years old

Note: Disregard the quotation marks, ""

<span>The flag's dimensions are 40 inches by 55 inches.

Reasoning<span>:
The perimeter equals the sum of all sides. Being rectangular, opposite sides have equal lengths. Thus, the equation is
y + 11/8 y + y + 11/8 y = 190.

Simplifying, we get
2y + 22/8 y = 190.

Expressing 22/8 as a mixed fraction results in
2y + 2 3/4 y = 190.

Combining terms: 4 3/4 y = 190.

Divide both sides by 4 3/4:
y = 190 ÷ 4 3/4.

Converting 4 3/4 to an improper fraction: y = 190 ÷ 19/4.

Dividing by a fraction means multiplying by its reciprocal:
y = 190 × 4/19 = 760/19 = 40.

Since y = 40, calculate 11/8 y = 11/8 × 40 = 440/8 = 55.</span></span>

Answer: Ana should produce more fudge, and Leo should produce more toffee.

Step-by-step explanation:

Comparative advantage defined: A person or country has a comparative advantage producing a good if their opportunity cost for it is lower than someone else's.

In this case, Ana and Leo will both benefit if they focus on the product for which they have the lower opportunity cost.

(a) Ana’s production possibilities:

If she spends all her time making fudge: 3 pounds; or toffee: 2 pounds.

Opportunity cost of 1 pound fudge = 2/3 = 0.66 pounds toffee

Opportunity cost of 1 pound toffee = 3/2 = 1.5 pounds fudge

(b) Leo’s production opportunities:

All time making fudge: 4 pounds; or toffee: 5 pounds.

Opportunity cost of 1 pound fudge = 5/4 = 1.25 pounds toffee

Opportunity cost of 1 pound toffee = 4/5 = 0.8 pounds fudge

Since Ana’s opportunity cost for fudge is lower than Leo’s, she should specialize in fudge production.

Conversely, Leo has a lower opportunity cost for toffee, so he should focus on producing toffee.
