Byron has 1 7/10 kilograms of black pepper. He uses 7/8 of the black pepper and splits between 7 pepper shakers. How much pepper
IrinaVladis [17]
Amount of black pepper = 1 7/10 kg = 17/10 kg.
Amount used is
(7/8)*(17/10) = 119/80 kg

This amount is split between 7 shakers. Each shaker has
(119/80)/7 = 17/80 kg = 0.2125 kg

Answer: 17/80 kg (or  0.2125 kg)

Gary used landscape timbers to create a border around a garden shaped like a right triangle. The longest two timbers he used are
Cloud [144]

Answer:

9 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The border of the garden is a right angled triangle.

Two lengths are given as 12 ft and 15 ft.

Let the length of the shortest timber be 'x' feet.

Now, in a right angled triangle, the longest length is called the hypotenuse.

As 15 feet is the largest length, it is the hypotenuse of the triangle. Now, applying Pythagoras theorem, we get:

(Leg1)^2+(Leg2)^2=(Hypotenuse)^2\\x^2+12^2=15^2\\x^2+144=225\\x^2=225-144\\x^2=81\\x=\pm \sqrt{81}=\pm 9

The negative value is neglected as length can never be negative.

Therefore, the length of the shortest timber is 9 feet.

A company that manufactures small canoes has a fixed cost of $ 18 comma 000$18,000. It costs $ 120$120 to produce each canoe. Th
Scilla [17]
If the company makes 1 canoe only, then the cost is, the fixed cost plus how much it costs for the 1 canoe, or
180,000 + 1*120

if it makes 2 canoes
180,000 + 2*120
3 canoes   180,000 + 3*120
4canoes   180,000 + 4*120
x canoes  180,000 + x*120

so... we dunno what "x" is, but whatever "x" maybe, the cost ends up as 180,000 + x*120, or 180,000 + 120x

now, let's see the revenue
1 canoe 1 * 240
2 canoes 2*240
3 canoes 3*240
x canoes x*240

so.. whatever "x" maybe, the Revenue is x*240 or 240x

break-even point is when, the amount of expenses and earnings cancel each other out, or, there's no profit, but there's no loss either, same amount that's spent is also earned back

so, the break-even point occurs when Revenue = Cost

180,000 + 120x = 240x     <--- solve for "x"
