Let’s say you plan to start a lawn-mowing business for a little extra money over the summer. A new lawn-mower costs $450. Between the gas you use and the time is takes to travel (your time is important, after all), you estimate you will incur a cost of approximately $6 per lawn you mow. If you charge $35 for each lawn you mow, how many lawns must you mow before you become profitable?

If you plan on mowing only 3 lawns per day, 5 days per week, over the summer, how long will it take to make a profit of $2,500? Do you think this is a reasonable goal? Why or why not?

Answers

Answer 1

Your profit per lawn is [tex]payed \minus cost[/tex] which is [tex]35 \minus 6 = 29[/tex].

If you want to be profitable, you must earn more than the cost of the lawn mower. Each mowing you earn 29$. We must divide using the formula [tex]cost \divide profit = times[/tex] where times is the amount of times you must mow lawns to be profitable. We get [tex]450 \divide 29 = 15.51...[/tex], but you can't only mow parts of a lawn! Therefore, you must mow 16 lawns to be profitable.

Your second part depends on how many weeks are in the summer.

But the answer would look like $435 per week earned, and -$450 one time cost for the lawnmower.

Answer 2

Part A.

You spend $6 per lawn and charge $35 per lawn, so the profit per lawn is $35 - $6 = $29. Let the number of lawns you mow be n. You earn a profit of $29 pewr laun, so you earn a profit of 29n for mowing n lawns.

29n = 450

Divide both sides by 29.

n = 450/29 = 15.517...

You must mow 16 lawns to make profit.

Part B.

3 lawns per day for 5 days per week means 15 lawns per week. Since you make a profit of $29 per lawn, you will make a profit of 15 * $29 for 15 lawns in each week. 15 * $29 = $435.

You want to make $2500 profit, but you must spend $450 on the lawn mower, so you need to earn a total of $2500 + $450 = $2950.

Let n be the number of weeks. In one week, you make $435 in profit. In n weeks, you make 435n in profit.

435n = 2950

Divide both sides by 435.

n = 6.7816...

If you work for 7 weeks, you will make at least $2500 in profit.

Since the summer vacation is longer than 7 weeks, it is a reasonable goal, but you must take into account the time it takes to mow three lawns in one day.

Mark and his friends Byron were watching a superhero movies. During the movie mark ate 5 pieces of candy . Byron ate 7 times as much candy as mark. How much candy did Byron eat.?

Answers

Bryon ate 35 pieces of candy. 7 times 5 equals 35

Final answer:

To find out how much candy Byron ate, we multiply the number of candies Mark ate, which is 5, by 7. Byron ate a total of 35 pieces of candy.

Explanation:

The question involves solving a basic multiplication problem to determine how much candy Byron ate if Mark ate 5 pieces of candy and Byron ate 7 times as much. According to the given scenario, we can represent this mathematically as:

Mark ate 5 pieces of candy. Byron ate 7 times as much candy as Mark did. To find out the total pieces of candy Byron ate, we multiply the number of candies Mark ate by 7. Therefore, Byron ate 5 pieces × 7 = 35 pieces of candy.

This arithmetic calculation shows us Byron's total candy consumption during the movie.

Which expression can be used to find 80% of 120?

Answers

120*0.8 is the expression, because you can put 80% as 80/100 and that is equal to .8 so you just put that in a calculator and thats your answer. Hope that helped :)

Answer:

[tex](0.80)120[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find an expression that represents 80% of 120.

We know that % means per hundred. 80% would be 80 divided by 100.

[tex]80\%\text{ of }120=\frac{80}{100}\times 120=(0.80)120[/tex]

Therefore, the expression [tex](0.80)120[/tex] represent 80% of 120.

You saw on the previous page that 2/11=0.18. Show how you can use what you know about the decimal for 2/11 to find the decimal for 1/11

Answers

1/11 is half of 2/11.  (1/11 + 1/11 = 2/11)

As 2/11 = 0.18, 1/11 must equal half of 0.18.

Half of 0.18 is 0.09.  Thus the decimal for 1/11 is 0.09.

Answer:

The decimal for 1/11 is 0.09

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two options to get the answer, the first one is when we know that 1/11 is half of 2/11, so 1/11 will be half of 0.18. We have to divide 0.18 by 2:

0.18÷2 = 0.09

The other way to do it is to divide 1÷11 = 1/11

The answer is 0.09

The length of a rectangle is 2 centimeters longer than its width,if the perimeter of the rectangle is 60cm,find its width and length?

Answers

Let the width of rectangle= x centimeter

According to condition length =  (x+2) centimeter

As accoding to formula

perimeter of rectangle = 2( lenght +width)

so Perimeter = 2{(x+2) +(x)}     equation 1

Give perimeter = 60cm          equation 2

comparing  equation 1 and equation 2

2{(x+2) +(x)} = 60

Solving   2{2x+2} =60

4x+4 =60  

subtracting 4 both sides

4x= 56

dividing 4 both sides.

x=14  width of rectangle

AS we have assume length = x+2 ⇒ 14 +2

Length =16

What is Algebraic expression ?

Algebraic expressions are numbers expressed using letters or alphabets without specifying their values. Algebra taught us how to express unknown values using letters such as x, y, and z. There can also be a single value that is placed before and multiplied by a variable in an algebraic expression in addition to these letters, which are called variables.

Let the three consecutive odd integers be x , x + 2 , x+ 4 then,

the sum of these three odd integers is 17 less than four times the smallest integer that is :

x + (x+2) + (x+4) = 4x -17

3x + 6 = 4x -17

4x - 3x  = 6 + 17

x = 23

x + 2 = 25

x +  4 = 27

Therefore, the three consecutive odd integers are 23, 25,27

To order the numbers from least to greatest: -2.8, -1.25 (-5/4), -1.17 (-7/6), 1.3, 1.33 (4/3). Decimal conversion helps compare their values, with negative numbers being smaller than positive ones.

To order the numbers from least to greatest, we need to compare their values. Negative numbers are less than positive numbers, and among negative numbers, the one with the smaller absolute value is greater. We can convert the fractions to decimals to make it easier to compare all the numbers:

-7/6 is approximately -1.17-2.8 is already a decimal-5/4 is -1.254/3 is approximately 1.331.3 is already a decimal

Now we order them from least to greatest:

A garage door opener has a ten number keypad. Codes to open the door must consist of 5 digits with no adjecent digits the sane. How many codes are possible?

3rd slot: 9 possibilities  

4th slot: 9 possibilities  

5th slot: 9 possibilities

Final answer:

The total number of possible 5-digit codes for the garage door opener, where no two adjacent digits are the same, is 59,049.

Explanation:

This is a combinatorics problem in mathematics. A simple way to solve this problem is to calculate the total number of 5-digit code combinations possible without any constraint, which is 10^5 = 100,000.

However, the condition given in the problem is that no two adjacent digits can be the same. The possible codes for the first digit are 10 (0-9). For the second digit, because it cannot be the same as the first, there are 9 possibilities, the third digit also has 9 possibilities because it cannot be the same as the second, and so on.

Therefore, the total number of possible codes is 10 * 9 * 9 * 9 * 9 = 59,049. Hence, the garage door opener can have 59,049 different codes.

what is 0.012 as a fraction

Answers

0.012 as a fraction would be 12/1000, which can be simplified to 3/250. :)

To convert 0.012 to a fraction, you multiply by 1000 to get 12/1000 and then simplify it to 3/250. Therefore, 0.012 as a fraction is 3/250.

To convert the decimal 0.012 into a fraction, follow these simple steps:

Write down 0.012 as 0.012/1.

Multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 1000 to get rid of the decimal point:

0.012 x 1000 / 1 x 1000 = 12 / 1000.

Simplify the fraction by finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 12 and 1000, which is 4:

(12 ÷ 4) / (1000 ÷ 4) = 3 / 250.

Thus, 0.012 as a fraction is 3/250.

Final answer:

To divide a number by a 1-digit divisor, simply divide the number by the divisor. For example, 15 divided by 3 is 5, and 21 divided by 7 is 3. Practice makes perfect in this fundamental aspect of mathematics.

Explanation:

I understand you are trying to learn how to divide by 1-digit divisors. It is a fundamental topic in mathematics that you will use many times in the future.

Let's take the numbers 3 and 7 as examples. To divide by 3 or 7, simply take the number you are wanting to divide and divide it by either 3 or 7. For example, if we want to divide 15 by 3, you would simply perform 15 ÷ 3, which results in 5.

Now, if we want to divide 21 by 7, you would do 21 ÷ 7, which gives you a result of 3. It's that simple! Remember, the biggest key to success here is practice. The more you practice these divisions, the better you'll get at them.
