Jim bought a fishing rod for $42. This price was 70% of the original price. What was the original price?

So if $42 was 70% of the original price that means you saved 30% so work out 30% of $42 then add it to the $42 = $12.60 + $42

Saved 30%
30% of $42 = 12.60
finally, add them 2gether
= $12.60 + $42

An arrow is shot vertically upward at a rate of 240 feet per second from ground level. Use the projectile formula to determine w

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

After 14.92 seconds, the arrow hits the ground.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Initial velocity of the arrow is, $u=240\ ft/s or 73.152\ m/s$

The arrow goes up and come back to the same starting position. So, initial position is same as that of final position.

Therefore, displacement of the arrow is 0 m.

The displacement of the arrow is given as:

$s=ut-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$ (equation 1)

Plug all value in equation 1 and solve for $t$

$0=73.152\timests t-\frac{1}{2} \times9.8 \times t^{2}$

$0=73.152\timests t-4.9 \times t^{2}$

$0=t(73.152-4.9 \times t)$

$73.152-4.9\times t=0$ where $t\neq 0$

$4.9\times t=73.152$

$t=\frac{73.152}{4.9}= 14.92\ s$

∴ After 14.92 seconds, the arrow hits the ground.

What is the equation of the line that passes through (5, 3) and (4, 5)

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

y = - 2x + 13

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (5, 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, 5)

m = $\frac{5-3}{4-5}$ = $\frac{2}{-1}$ = - 2, thus

y = - 2x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

Using (4, 5), then

5 = - 8 + c ⇒ c = 5 + 8 = 13

y = - 2x + 13 ← equation of line

The part of a parallelogram is 240 cm ^2 and the height is 20 cm. Find the corresponding base.

Ronch [10]

Parallelogram area = base * height
240 = base * 20
base = 240 / 20
base = 12 cm

Simplify each of the following ratios.<br>e) 2/3 : 3/2 : 5/8

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

32/45

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3 : 3/2 : 5/8

Remember, a ratio and a fraction are both division. Therefore you can rewrite the problem like so:

2/3 ÷ 3/2 ÷ 5/8

Dividing fractions is the same as multiplying them by the reciprocal.

2/3 * 2/3 * 8/5

Now simplify:

32/45

32 and 45 have no common factor, hence the final answer is 32/45
