In basketball, hang time is the time that both of your feet are off the ground during a jump. The equation for hang time is t =

2 (StartFraction 2 h Over 32 EndFraction) Superscript one-half , where t is the time in seconds, and h is the height of the jump, in feet.
Player 1 had a hang time of 0.9 s. Player 2 had a hang time of 0.8 s. To the nearest inch, how much higher did Player 1 jump than Player 2?

Considering the hang time equation, it is found that Player 1 jumped 0.68 feet higher than Player 2.

<h3>What is the hang time equation?</h3>

The hang-time of the ball for a player of jump h is given by:

t = 2\left(\frac{2h}{32}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}

The expression can be simplified as:

t = 2\sqrt{\frac{h}{16}}

For a player that has a hang time of 0.9s, the jump is found as follows:

0.9 = 2\sqrt{\frac{h}{16}}

\sqrt{\frac{h}{16}} = \frac{0.9}{2}

(\sqrt{\frac{h}{16}})^2 = \left(\frac{0.9}{2}\right)^2

h = 16\left(\frac{0.9}{2}\right)^2

h = 3.24 feet.

For a player that has a hang time of 0.8s, the jump is found as follows:

0.8 = 2\sqrt{\frac{h}{16}}

\sqrt{\frac{h}{16}} = \frac{0.8}{2}

(\sqrt{\frac{h}{16}})^2 = \left(\frac{0.8}{2}\right)^2

h = 16\left(\frac{0.8}{2}\right)^2

h = 2.56 feet.

The difference is given by:

3.24 - 2.56 = 0.68 feet.

Erin has 1 7/8 pounds of trail mix. She wants to make 1/12-pound bags of the mix for snacks. How many full bags can she make?
Andreyy89
For this question , you just need to divide 1 7/8 with 1/12

1 7/8 : 1/12

= 15/8  : 1/12

= 15/8 x 12/1

= 22.5 bags.

So i guess she can make around 22 full bags

hope this helps
