N= numerator
D= denominator

N:D ==> 2:3

2:3, 4:6, 6:9... And so on...

The pattern here is that the numerator increases by 2 and the denominator by 3. Easy right?

Now 5 is added to the "n".

Now it is N:D ==> 3:2

3:2, 6:4, 9:6... And so on...

The pattern here is inverted then the 2:3 one.

If I'm right then which one (you might have to continue the process/pattern) then one of them will increase by 5.

3 => 2 = +1 (2+1=3)
6 => 4 = +2 (4+2=6)
9 => 6 = +3 (6+3=9)
12 => 8 = +4 (8+4=12)
15 => 10 = +5 (10+5=15)
18 => 12= +6 (12+6=18)

Q. Which one is +5?

A. 15:10

That is what "I" think it is.

Now, the question is,
Does it work? Does it fit the above description?

Q. Does it even work? Does it fit the above description?

Katen [24]
What you need to is find out how much 3/8 is, compared to 3/4. since 4 is half of 8 you have to multiply 3/4 by 2, which gives you 6/8. 6/8 is greater than 3/8, therefore Mariah ran farther

An object is dropped from 43 feet below the tip of the pinnacle atop a 527​-ft tall building. The height h of the object after t
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

5.5 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The function that gives the height of the object after t seconds falling is:

h = -16t^2 + 484.

To find the time when the object reaches the ground, we just need to use the value of h = 0 in the equation, and then find the value of t:

0 = -16t^2 + 484.

16t^2 = 484

t^2 = 30.25

t = 5.5 seconds

So the object will reach the ground after 5.5 seconds
