Answer:

You have written 26 pages in total.

Step-by-step explanation:

I always enjoyed adding fractions. Something about it is so... <em>simple.</em>

<u>The problem is basically asking us to add 20 1/2 and 5 1/2 together.</u>

I would first suggest adding both halves together, to make 1.

That way, we're left with 20 + 5 + 1. That seem easier, doesn't it?

Then we would add 20, 5 and 1 together, to get 26 whole pages.

And that, to an extent, is how I did it.

Hope this helps! :D

Answer:

Given:

Written pages for Act 1 = 20 1/2

Written pages for Act 2 = 5 1/2

For making mixed numbers like this easier to add, let's convert them first into an irrational number with this formula,

((Whole Number × Denominator) + Numerator)/Denominator

Thus,

for 20 1/2

((20 × 2) + 1)/2 = 41/2

for 5 1/2

((5 × 2) + 1)/2 = 11/2

Then we add,

41/2 + 11/2

Since, they have the same denominator, no more conversions need, proceed adding the numerators,

(41 + 11)/2 = 52/2 = 26

You've written 26 pages in total.

The equation gives the speed at impact, V metres per second, of an object dropped from a height of h metres. SHOW WORK From what
devlian [24]

Answer:

h = 17.65 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation gives the speed at impact :

v=\sqrt{2gh}

h is height form where the object is dropped

Put v = 18.6 m/s in the above equation.

h=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}\\\\h=\dfrac{(18.6)^2}{2\times 9.8}\\\\h=17.65\ m

So, the object must be dropped from a height of 17.65 m.

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

The probability is 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Since proportion of time spent on mowing will be 200/400 = 0.5, there will be no chance that the true proportion of time spent mowing is exactly equal to the sample proportion. Where true proportion is 200 and sample is 400 . So the probability is 0.
