One way to solve is to set up a proportion. If the ratio of comedies to action is 4:3 (also can be written as the fraction 4/3) then you can set 4/3 equal to 20/x.


4/3 = 20/x

then cross multiply.  

4·x = 3·20


4x = 60  Then divide both sides by 4

x= 15

Oliver works at a bookstore.He packed 20 identical paperbacks and 9 identical textbooks in a box. The total mass of the books wa
olchik [2.2K]
If we let p and t be the masses of the paper and textbook, respectively, the equations that would best represent the given in this item are:
      (1)       20p + 9t = 44.4
      (2)       (20 + 5)p + (9 + 1)t = 51

The values of p and t from the equation are 0.6 and 3.6, respectively. Thus, each paperback weighs 0.6 pounds and each textbook weighs 3.6 pounds.

lord [1]

Answer:

  • r(0) = <0, 100> . . . . . . . .meters
  • r'(0) = <7.071, 7.071> . . . . meters per second

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Initial Position</u>

The problem statement tells us we're measuring position from the ground at the base of the building where the projectile was launched. The initial horizontal position is presumed to be zero. The initial vertical position is said to be 100 meters from the ground, so (in meters) ...

  r(0) = <0, 100>

<u>Initial Velocity</u>

The velocity vector resolves into components in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction. For angle α from the horizontal, the horizontal component of velocity is v₁·cos(α), and the vertical component is v₁·sin(α). For v₁ = 10 m/s and α = π/4, the initial velocity vector (in m/s) is ...

  r'(0) = <10·cos(π/4), 10·sin(π/4)>

  r'(0) ≈ <7.071, 7.071>
