Answer:

9:4

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that

Number of free throws = 36

Number of games = 16

We have to find the ratio of  free throws to games. Therefore, the required ratio is given by

\frac{\text{free throws}}{\text{number of games}}=\frac{36}{16}

On simplifying the ratio, we get

\frac{\text{free throws}}{\text{number of games}}=\frac{9}{4}

Therefore, the ratio of free throws to games is 9:4

36 free throws , 16 games
ratio of free throws to games is 36:16 which reduces to 9:4

u have to pay attention to the wording of problems such as these..because if it would have asked for the ratio of games to free throws, it would have been 16:36 = 4:9

Biologists have found that the number of chirps some types of cricket make per minute depends upon the temperature this relation
Alex Ar [27]

Answer: Crickets make 172 chirps/min at 80 degrees Fahrenheit

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Using the point slope formulae for Linear functions , we have that

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

where x  and y are two points  representing the  temperature and chirps /min respectively

And  

m= slope

Step 2 : Finding the slope , m

where x1=60

           y1=92

           x2= 75

           y2=152

m= (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

= (152- 92)/(75-60)

=60/15 =4

Bringing down the point/slope formula and imputing the known values to find our equation to show the relationship cricket make per minute and  the temperature

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 92= 4(x - 60)

y - 92 = 4x -240

y = 4x - 240 + 92

y = 4x - 148

Step 3

To find the number of chirps be per minute (y) if the temperature is 80 degrees Fahrenheit( x)

y = 4(80) - 160

y = 320 - 148

y = 172 chirps/min at 80 degrees Fahrenheit

What is the value of x in the following equation? -3x-2=2x+8
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

-2 =x

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x-2=2x+8

Add 3x to each side

-3x+3x-2=2x+3x+8

-2 = 5x+8

Subtract 8 from each side

-2-8 = 5x+8-8

-10 = 5x

Divide by 5

-10/5 = 5x/5

-2 =x

An object is 3.6 m from the pinhole. Its image is 4.2 cm from the opposite side of the pinhole. The height of the image is 0.8 c
madreJ [45]

Answer:

Height of the object is 68.6 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the object can be determined by:

\frac{object distance from pinhole}{image distance from pinhole} = \frac{object height}{image height}

From the given question;

object distance from pinhole = 3.6 m = 360 cm

image distance from pinhole = 4.2 cm

height of image = 0.8 cm

So that;

\frac{360}{4.2} = \frac{object height}{0.8}

⇒ object height = \frac{360*0.8}{4.2}

                           = \frac{288}{4.2}

                           = 68.571

object height = 68.6 cm

Thus, the height of the object is 68.6 cm.
