Answer:

  24

Step-by-step explanation:

Jayla has a couple of options for cutting her original piece of paper.

  • she can cut the 3 inch length from the long dimension of the paper, giving her 5 strips from the length and 4 strips from the width for a total of 20 3×2 pieces
  • she can cut the 3 inch length from the short dimension of the paper, giving her 3 strips from the 9-inch width, and 8 strips from the 16-inch length, for a total of 3×8 = 24 pieces.

The greatest number of 3×2 pieces Jayla can cut is 24.

__

The attachments show the different cuts as described above.

An object is thrown upward from the top of a 192 ft building with an initial velocity of 64 feet
Airida [17]

Answer:

t=6

Step-by-step explanation:

ground height = 0

(are you sure your formula is correct? isn't it - 16t²?)

if h=16t² +64t+192 is true then

16t² +64t+192 = 0

t² + 4t + 12 = 0

t = (-4 ± √(4² - 4*12)) / 2*1 = (-4 ± √-32) / 2 = -2 ± 2√-2

There is no solution of t

if it is h= - 16t² +64t+192

0 =- 16t² + 64t + 192

t² - 4t - 12 = 0

(t + 2) (t -6) = 0

t should be positive

t = 6 sec
