A graphing calculator shows it takes 3.25 seconds for the shoe to hit the building.

_____
200 -16t^2 = 31
169 = 16t^2
√(169/16) = t
t = 13/4 = 3 1/4

Your school wants to have 5 computers for every 12 students.There are now 125 computers and 924 students.How many more computers
Oksana_A [137]
First, determine the number of computers that are needed for 924 students.

    n =  (924 students)(5 computers / 12 students)
                 n = 385 computers

Since, there are only 125 computers, the difference can be calculated.
     
       d = 385 computers - 125 computers
   
                d = 260 computers

Hence, 260 more computers are still needed.

Laura has $720 and saves $30 a week. Taylor has $1200 and spends $30 a week. in how many weeks will Taylor and Laura have the sa
Setler79 [48]
Let w = number of weeks.

In week w,
Laura has: 720 + 30w
Taylor has: 1200 - 30w

Set the two amounts equal and solve for w, the number of weeks.

720 + 30w = 1200 - 30w

60w = 480

w = 8

They will have the same amount of money in 8 weeks.

Laura will have in 8 weeks:
720 + 30w = 720 + 30 * 8 = 720 + 240 = 960

Taylor will have in 8 weeks:
1200 - 30w = 1200 - 30 * 8 = 1200 - 240 = 960

They will both have $960 in 8 weeks.

Answer:y=6.61,x=-6.46

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+7y=-26(×5)

         -

5x+3y=-14(×3)

=15x+35y=-130

           -

 15x+9y=-42

subtracting the 2 equations =15x-15x+35y-9y=-130-(-42)

=26y=172

y=172÷26

y=6.61

substitute y in the first equation=3x+6.61=-26

3x=-26+6.61=-19.39

x=-19.39÷3

x=-6.46

Gabriella swims 2 laps per minute. What is the associated rate? ___ minute per lap
Leokris [45]

Answer:

The answer is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that Gabriella swims 2 laps for 1 minute. So in order to find how many minutes did he swim for each lap, you have to divide it by 2 :

2 laps = 1 minute

2 laps ÷ 2 = 1 minute ÷ 2

1 lap = 1/2 minute

= 30 seconds

Test :

Gabriella swim 1/2 min per lap. So if he swim 2 laps, you have to multiply it by 2 :

1/2 × 2 = 1 minute
