A chess player played 20 games total. If he won 2 of the games, what is the ratio of games he lost to games he won?

1 answer:

4 0

So, we have useful information to answer this question. We know that he played 20 games and he won 2 games. To find the ratio of the games lost, we have to subtract the number of games played and the number of games won.
20-2=18
So now we can find the ratio of games won and games lost
The answer is 18:2, 18 to 2, or 18/2.
You can also simplify the ratio to 9:1
So the final answer is 9:1

Hope this helped

Question:

Britney throws an object straight up into the air with an initial velocity of 27 ft/s from a platform that is 10 ft above the ground. Use the formula h(t)=−16t2+v0t+h0 , where v0 is the initial velocity and h0 is the initial height. How long will it take for the object to hit the ground?

Answer:

It takes 2 seconds for object to hit the ground

Solution:

The given equation is:

$h(t) = -16t^2 + v_0t+h_0$

Initial velocity = 27 feet/sec

$h_0 = 10\ feet$

Therefore,

$h(t) = -16t^2 +27t+10$

At the point the object hits the ground, h(t) = 0

$-16t^2 +27t+10 = 0\\\\16t^2-27t-10=0$

Solve by quadratic formula,

$\mathrm{For\:a\:quadratic\:equation\:of\:the\:form\:}ax^2+bx+c=0\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}\\\\x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\\mathrm{For\:}\quad a=16,\:b=-27,\:c=-10:\quad \\\\t=\frac{-\left(-27\right)\pm \sqrt{\left(-27\right)^2-4\cdot \:16\left(-10\right)}}{2\cdot \:16}\\\\t = \frac{27 \pm \sqrt{1369}}{32}\\\\t = \frac{27 \pm 37}{32}\\\\We\ have\ two\ solutions\\\\t = \frac{27+37}{32}\\\\t = \frac{64}{32}\\\\t = 2\\\\And\\\\t = \frac{27-37}{32}\\\\t = -0.3125$
