Paul, Colin and Brian are waiters.

Mathematics
1 answer:
snow_lady [41]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Paul gets £2(9.8) = £19.6, and

Colin gets          £1(9.8)  = £9.8, and

Brian gets          £5(9.8) = £49

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the multiplier x in 2x + 1x + 5x = £78.40.

Summing up the left side:  8x = 78.40

Dividing both sides by 8 to isolate x:

x = 9.8

Then Paul gets £2(9.8) = £19.6, and

Colin gets          £1(9.8)  = £9.8, and

Brian gets          £5(9.8) = £49

As a check, add these together; the sum must be £78.40:

£19.6 + £9.8 + £49 = £78.40.  So our figures are correct.

Brian gets £49 and Colin gets £9.8.  Subtracting, we obtain:

£39.20.  This is the amount by which Brian's tips exceeds Colin's.

What is 20 divided by two
Tcecarenko [31]
First of all, this shouldn't be in high school category.
Second, 20 divided by 2 is 10. Dividing is like subtraction. You would subtract 20 by 2, and you would find that after 10 times, you will get to zero.

If an object is projected upward from ground level with an initial velocity of 128 ft per sec, then it's height in feet after t
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer: t= 4 seconds

Maximum height = 256 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the object projected upwards after t seconds is given by

s(t)=-16t^2+128t.

The expression is a quadratic equation. When this equation is plotted on a graph, height against time, it takes the shape of a parabola whose vertex represents the maximum height attained by the object.

To get the value of t at the maximum height,

t = -b/2a

From the equation,

a = -16

b = 128

t = -128/-2×-16

= -128 /- 32= 4

it will take 4 seconds to reach its maximum height

To find maximum height attained, put t= 4 in the equation

s(t)=-16t^2+128t

S = -16× 4^2 + 128×4

S = -256+512

S = 256 feet
