We get that Shannon did not mix the correct shade as the ratios are not equal.

We are given that a particular shade of paint is made by mixing five parts of red paint with seven parts of blue paint.

This means that the ratio of the paints in that shade is

Red : Blue = 5 : 7.

Now, we are also given that to make the correct shade, Shannon makes 12 quarts of blue paint with 8 quarts of red paint.

Here the ratio becomes:

Red : Blue = 8 : 12

= 4 : 6

= 2 : 3

Now, since both the ratios are not equal, he did not mix the correct shade.

Therefore, we get that Shannon did not mix the correct shade as the ratios are not equal.

The perimeter of a rectangle is 40 cm. The length is 14 cm. Let x = width of the rectangle. Ravi says he can find the width usin
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

Divide both sides by 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the equation

2(x + 14) = 40

We divide both sides by 2

2(x + 14) = 40/2

x + 14 = 20

x = 20 - 14

x = 6

Therefore, the most helpful first step for solving Ravi's equation is: Divide both sides by 2

The equation $y=-4.9t^2+3.5t+5$ describes the height (in meters) of a ball thrown upward at $3.5$ meters per second from $5$ met
Georgia [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The position function is

s(t)=-4.9t^2+3.5t+5 and if we are looking for the time t it takes for the ball to hit the ground, we are looking for the height of the ball when it is on the ground. Of course the height of anything on the ground is 0, so if we set s(t) = 0 and solve for t, we will find our answer.

0=-4.9t^2+3.5t+5 and factor that however you are currently factoring in class to get that

t = -.71428 seconds or

t = 1.42857 seconds (neither one of those is rational so they can't be expressed as fractions).

We all know that time will never be a negative value, so the time it takes this ball to hit the ground is

1.42857 seconds (round how you need to).
