Answer:

7/24

Step-by-step explanation:

All the items being grilled collectively equal 1.

Each item represents a fractional portion of 1.

Combine 3/8 and 1/3, then subtract that sum from 1.

3/8 + 1/3 = 9/24 + 8/24 = 17/24

This means that veggie burgers and corn contribute to 17/24 of the total.

To determine the fraction accounted for by mushrooms, we take 1 and subtract 17/24.

1 - 17/24 = 24/24 - 17/24 = 7/24.

Final answer: 7/24

A company that is selling computer tablets has determined that it regularly makes a net profit of $180 for each computer tablet
PIT_PIT [12445]

Response:

Based on the anticipated number of individuals completing the form to claim the refund, the company ought to foresee its net profit decreasing to:

  • $174.6 per computer tablet.

Detailed explanation:

Initially, the profit per tablet is $180, but after initiating the rebate program, it is expected that 18% of purchasers will fill out the forms and obtain the VISA card, which will lower the profit as demonstrated below:

  • Calculation of the reduced benefit for 18% of computer tablets = original benefit - refund amount.
  • Reduced benefit for 18% of tablets = $180 - $30 = $150

From here, we find that 18% of tablets will yield a benefit of $150, while the other 82% will maintain a benefit of $180. To ascertain an overall figure for the benefit, we must compute it as follows:

  • Total benefit = Percentage of reimbursed tablets * Benefit of reimbursed tablets + Percentage of non-reimbursed tablets * Benefit of non-reimbursed tablets.
  • Overall profit = 18% * 150 + 82% * 180
  • Overall profit = $174.6

Thus, after the $30 rebate on 18% of the tablets, the total benefit amounts to $174.6.

Given m with arrow = 3 î + 2 ĵ − 5 k and n with arrow = 6 î − 2 ĵ − 4 k, calculate the vector product m with arrow ✕ n with arro
Zina [12379]
<span>For two vectors u and v, the cross product can be expressed as follows: (u2v3 - u3v2) i + (u3v1 - u1v3) j + (u1v2 - u2v1) k. Consequently, we have m x n: ( (2 *-4) - (-5 * -2) ) i + ( (-5*6) - (3 *-4) )j + ( ( 3*-2) - (2*6))k, which simplifies to ( -8 - 10) i + ( -30 + 12) j + ( -6 - 12) k. Thus, the product of vectors m and n yields -18 i - 18j -18k</span>.
