Answer:

Part a - 25 pieces

Part b - 4 sheets

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Part a</u>

Think of this in terms of how many "units" can the total paper be cut into. Easiest way to keep track of units is by their area. In other words, take the total area and see how many unit areas fit into it:

Number of units = total area / unit area

N = (85 x 60) / (20 x 10)

N = 5100 / 200

N = 25.5

Therefore the greatest number of pieces the paper can be cut into is 25 units (the 0.5 doesn't count since it's not a full pieces).

<u>Part b</u>

Again, back to units. This time the "total" is 100, and our unit size is 25.5. So:

Number of units = total gifts / gifts per unit

N = 100 / 25.5

N = 3.9

Therefore 4 sheets of wrapping paper will be needed (you need to round the 3.9 up because wrapping paper sheets only come in whole numbers for the purposes of this question).

The sale price of a spring break vacation package was $209.99 the travel agent said by booking early you saved $20.00. Find the
prisoha [69]

Answer:

<em></em>\%\ decrease =  9.52\%<em></em>

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Sales\ Price = \$209.99

Saved = \$20.00

Required

Determine the %decrease

First, we need to determine the amount paid

Amount = Sales\ Price - Amount\ Saved

Amount = \$209.99 - \$20.00

Amount = \$189.99

The percentage decrease is the calculated as follows:

\%\ decrease = -100\% * \frac{Final - Initial}{Initial}

In this case;

Initial = Sales\ Price = \$209.99

Final = Amount\ Paid = \$189.99

So; we have:

\%\ decrease = -100\% * \frac{189.99 - 209.99}{209.99}

\%\ decrease = -100\% * \frac{-20}{209.99}

\%\ decrease = 100\% * \frac{20}{209.99}

\%\ decrease =  \frac{2000\%}{209.99}

\%\ decrease =  9.52426306015\%

<em></em>\%\ decrease =  9.52\%<em> (Approximated)</em>

A particle is moving along a projectile path where the initial height is 96 feet with an initial speed of 16 feet per second. Wh
leonid [27]

Answer:

The maximum height of the particle is 100 ft

A is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

A particle is moving along a projectile path where the initial height is 96 feet with an initial speed of 16 feet per second.

The standard equation of parabolic projectile.

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

where,

v_0=16\ ft/s

h_0=96\ ft

h(t)=-16t^2+16t+96

So, we get the parabolic equation of path.

The maximum value at vertex.

t=-\dfrac{b}{2a}

t=-\dfrac{16}{-32}=\dfrac{1}{2}

Maximum at t=0.5

h(0.5)=-16(0.5)^2+16(0.5)+96

h(0.5)=100

Hence, The maximum height of the particle is 100 ft
