To divide 747 pounds between Tom and Ben according to the ratio of 2:7, you need to split 747 by 2+7=9 to find out the weight for one part of the 9 total parts.

747:9=83.

Tom should receive 2 parts, which equates to 83·2=166 pounds, while Ben should receive 7 parts, which totals 83·7=581 pounds.

Result: you should distribute 166 pounds to Tom and 581 pounds to Ben.

You can upgrade lighting at your factory to LED bulbs that cost $6.95 each and last an average of 5 years. It costs $3 in labor
Inessa [12570]
Each LED bulb, along with installation labor, is priced at
.. $6.95 +$3 = $9.95

For 100 bulbs over a span of 10 years, that equals (100*10) = 1000 bulb·years. At $9.95 per bulb, 5 bulb·years are obtained, and thus the projected total cost for 1000 bulb·years is
.. (1000 b·y)*($9.95/(5 b·y)) = $1990

In summary, for a decade, the installation and changes of 200 bulbs in 100 lamps amount to $1990. Therefore, the yearly cost is...
.. $1990/(10 yr) = $199/yr

What is the slope of 1.5x+4.5y=18
Inessa [12570]
The x intercept is at (12,0). To find it, start with the equation 1.5x + 4.5y = 18, and subtract 1.5x from both sides. This gives you 4.5y = -1.5x + 18. Next, divide everything by 4.5, resulting in y = -1/3x + 4. Hence, the slope of the line is -1/3, and the y intercept is at (0,4). To determine the x intercept, set y to 0. Plugging this into the equation yields: 1.5x + 4.5(0) = 18, simplifying to 1.5x = 18. Dividing both sides by 1.5 gives x = 12.

Find the values for k so that the intersection of x = 2k and 3x + 2y = 12 lies in the first quadrant.
AnnZ [12381]

Answer:

0 < k < 2

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first quadrant, both x and y are positive, thus

  • x > 0 and y > 0
  • x = 2k, where k > 0

Substituting x with 2k into the second equation gives:

  • 3x + 2y = 12
  • 3*2k + 2y = 12
  • 2y = 12 - 6k
  • y = 6 - 3k

Given that y > 0:

  • 6 - 3k > 0
  • 2 - k > 0
  • k < 2

By combining k > 0 and k < 2, we obtain:

  • 0 < k < 2
