To convert, divide each tire's weight by 453.592 grams per pound:

800 grams ÷ 453.592 = 1.76 pounds
700 grams ÷ 453.592 = 1.54 pounds

To achieve a positive profit p(x)>0, we start with:


Next, we solve for x:


The parameters are:
a = -2
b = 7
c = -3

We will apply the quadratic formula:


This yields two results—one a fraction, the other a whole number. We focus on the whole number since the muffins sold must be a complete unit. Thus we conclude:
x>3

2.8y + 6 + 0.2y = 5y – 14

Start by simplifying the left side:

3y + 6 = 5y - 14

Next, deduct 3y from both sides:

6 = 2y - 14

Add 14 to both sides:

2y = 20

Now, divide by 2:

y = 20 / 2

y = 10

Answer:

1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Amir and Tamara each consumed 2/5 of the candy bar.

The total consumed is 2/5 + 2/5 = 4/5.

Since 4/5 of the candy bar has been eaten, 1/5 remains.

This is because 5/5 minus 4/5 equals 1/5.

(Note that 5/5 represents a whole candy bar).

The telescope’s cost is $91

4.55 divided by 5% (0.05) equals 91.
