44,580 x 47 %

44,580 x .47 = 20,952.6

So, the water decreased 20,952.6 ft

If you want the water level after the drought just subtract.

44,580 - 20,952.6 = 23,627.4 ft

Hope this helps. :)

Nathan launches a water balloon vertically from a platform on his roof. The height of the balloon (in feet) is represented by th

bulgar [2K]

Answer:

45.27feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the height of the balloon (in feet) represented by the equation h=−16t2+28.7t+32.4, where t is the time (in seconds)

Note that the velocity of the balloon at maximum height is zero, hence;

v = dh/dt =0

-32t+28.7 = 0

-32t = -28.7

t = 28.7/32

t = 0.897secs

Get the maximum height

Recall that h=−16t²+28.7t+32.4

h = -16(0.897)²+28.7(0.897)+32.4

h= -12.87+25.74+32.4

h = 45.27feet

Hence the maximum height reached is 45.27feet

You and your friend play a game. You answer 80% of the questions correctly and your friend answers 0.60 of the questions correct

bezimeni [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming both players can answer the same question, the minimum number of questions is the smallest number that when multiplied by either 0.60 or 0.80 yields a whole number.

Let x be the number of questions, solving by trial and error:

$if\ x=2\\x*0.8=1.6\\x*0.6=1.2\\\\if\ x=3\\x*0.8=2.4\\x*0.6=1.8\\\\if\ x=4\\x*0.8=3.2\\x*0.6=2.4\\\\if\ x=5\\x*0.8=4\\x*0.6=3\\\\$

Therefore, the minimum number of questions in the game is 5.
