The quantity of pounds of pencils that Jason gets, based on his sharing ratio, is <u>0.15 pounds</u>.

<h3>What is the sharing ratio?</h3>

The sharing ratio is the percentage or ratio that is held by a person out of the total value of the thing being shared.

Jason's share of the pencil can be determined by multiplying the total pencils in the box (1.5 x ¹/₂) by Jason's sharing ratio (¹/₅).

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

Quantity of pencils bought = 1.5 pounds

Half of the pencils in a box = 0.75 pounds (1.5 x ¹/₂)

The pounds got by Jason from the box = <u>0.15 </u>(0.75 x ¹/₅)

Thus, the quantity of pounds of pencils that Jason gets is <u>0.15 pounds</u>.

What set of refections would carry trapezoid ABCD onto itself?
BaLLatris [955]
Hello!

Trapezoid ABCD is shown. A is at negative 5, 1. B is at negative 4, 3. C is at negative 2, 3. D is at negative 1, 1.
A) x-axis, y=x, y-axis, x-axis
b) x-axis, y-axis, x-axis
c) y=x, x-axis, x-axis 
d) y-axis, x-axis, y-axis, x-axis
The best answer is C180 rotation wud take that point to 4th quadrant
reflection in x-axis takes that to 1st quadrant
<span>reflection in y-axis brings it back to 2nd quadrant again. So, the sequence of transformations will  bring A back to where it started

Hope this Helps! :)

A picture is 6 inches longer than it is wide and has an area of 167
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

A) L = W + 6

B) L * W = 167  OR L = 167 / W

Substituting B) into A)

167 / W = W + 6

Multiplying both sides by "W" we get

167 = W^2 + 6W

W^2 + 6W -167

Solving by the quadratic formula

Width = 10.266

Length = 16.266

NASA launches a rocket at t = 0 seconds. Its height, in meters above sea level, as a function of time is
balu736 [363]
If h is m above the ocean and your trying to find when the rocket reaches that ocean… as the function gives the height above the ocean at a given time, when the height equals 0 the rocket will have reached the ocean so solve for t when h=0. working out in the photo. i got t=48.88seconds

The ratio of red cars to blue cars in a parking lot was 5:3 . If there was 40 red cars , how many blue cars were there ?
Bas_tet [7]
The answer is x equals 24
you set up a proportion new over old
so for red cars 40 over 5
since we don’t know the new for blue cars we’ll use x
so x over 3
we then make them equal to each other
40 x
—- = —-
5 3
cross multiply, then we get
120=5x
isolate the x by dividing 5 from both sides to get 24

How many roots does this has?<br>x^2+(2√5x)+2x=-10​<br>find Discriminant
Alexxandr [17]

Given:

The equation is

x^2+(2\sqrt{5})+2x=-10

To find:

The number of roots and discriminant of the given equation.

Solution:

We have,

x^2+(2\sqrt{5})x+2x=-10

The highest degree of given equation is 2. So, the number of roots is also 2.

It can be written as

x^2+(2\sqrt{5}+2)x+10=0

Here, a=1, b=(2\sqrt{5}+2), c=10.

Discriminant of the given equation is

D=b^2-4ac

D=(2\sqrt{5}+2)^2-4(1)(10)

D=20+8\sqrt{5}+4-40

D=8\sqrt{5}-16

D\approx 1.89>0

Since discriminant is 8\sqrt{5}-16\approx 1.89, which is greater than 0, therefore, the given equation has two distinct real roots.
