1) What happens when production is inside the production possibilities curve? The production is not maximized, so some resources are unused.
The production is not maximized, so some resources are unused.

The production has become less efficient, and eventually the curve will shift inward.
The production has become less efficient, and eventually the curve will shift inward.

The production has been made more efficient, and eventually the curve will shift inward.
The production has been made more efficient, and eventually the curve will shift inward.

It is not possible for the production to move inside the curve.

When production is inside the production possibilities curve, it means that the production is not maximized because some resources are unused.

A production possibility curve shows how an economy can be able to produce two goods while making use of the resources that it has. It follows the principle of trade off because as the production of a particular good is increased, the other good has to be reduced.

Production on the production possibility curve shows that the economy is making efficient use of the resources that it has.

When the production is inside the production possibility curve, it means such economy isn't making efficient use of the resources that it has.

Therefore, the correct option is A.

ratios represent a pattern or relationship that can be scaled.

equivalent ratios are pairs of ratios that represent the same relationship between quantities, and can be generated by multiplying or dividing both quantities in the ratio by the same factor.

in this lesson, students will use double number lines and ratio reasoning to solve ratio problems. by partitioning double number lines into proportionate intervals, students will build an understanding of equivalent ratio relationships as those that are generated by multiplying or dividing two related quantities by the same number. this lesson will build upon students' prior understanding of multiplicative comparisons, number line reasoning and equivalent fractions (while highlighting the difference between equivalent fractions and equivalent ratios); and will build toward future work in this unit on building ratio tables, and work in future grades in proportionality, scaling, and expressing and graphing linear functions.
