Answer:

15 races

Step-by-step explanation:

The team has competed in 45 and has won 30. So the success rate is:

Success rate is:

Sccess\ rate=r= \frac{30}{45}*100\\ =66.7\ percent

We have to find the number of races the team needs to win for 75% success rate

Which means that

r = \frac{30+x}{45+x} = 0.75\\

We have to solve the equation for x

\frac{30+x}{45+x}=0.75\\ 30+x = 0.75(45+x)\\30+x=33.75+0.75x\\x-0.75x=33.75-30\\0.25x=3.75\\x=\frac{3.75}{0.25}\\ x=15

The team needs to win 15 races to get 75% success rate ..

What is the minimum number of angles required to determine the Cartesian components of a 3D vector and why?
Reika [66]

Answer: 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The 3D vector consists of 3 axes, let's say x, y and z.

Now, a vector P lies in all of them.

So, the angle it makes with x axis is α

The angle it makes with y axis is β

The angle it makes with z axis is γ

So, to determine the Cartesian components or to resolve the vector into it's Cartesian components we need 3 angles with each axis.

Use simultaneous equations to solve the following. Three kilograms of jam and two kilograms of butter cost $29 and six kilograms
artcher [175]

Answer:

The cost of 1kg jam is $7 and the cost of 1kg butter is $4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let jam = x

butter = y

3x + 2y = 29 -----(1)

6x + 3y = 54 -----(2)

(1)×2 ->

6x + 4y = 58 -----(3)

(3)-(2) ->

y = 4

suby=4into(2)

6x + 3(4) = 54

6x = 42

x = 7

(Correct me if i am wrong)

Solve for w p=1.2w/h^2
andreyandreev [35.5K]
Solve for w:
p = (1.2 w)/h^2
(1.2 w)/h^2 = (6 w)/(5 h^2):
p = (6 w)/(5 h^2)
p = (6 w)/(5 h^2) is equivalent to (6 w)/(5 h^2) = p:
(6 w)/(5 h^2) = p
Multiply both sides by (5 h^2)/6:
Answer:  w = (5 h^2 p)/6
