See,
1/3 of 12
= 1/3 * 12
= 1/1 * 4
=4
and
1/4 of 12
= 1/4 * 12
= 1/1 * 3
= 3
so 1/3 of 12 is the greater

Comparing 1/4 and 1/3 Draw a picture of these 2 fractions. You would see that 1/3 is bigger that 1/4.
Final Answer: 1/3 of 12
Hope I helped!

A ball rolls over the edge of a platform with only a horizontal velocity. The height of the platform is 1.6 m and the horizontal

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

35 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Let gravitational acceleration g = 9.8m/s2. We can calculate the amount of time for the ball to fall vertically a distance of 1.6 m

$1.6 = 9.8t^2/2$

$t^2 = 2*1.6/9.8 = 0.327$

$t = \sqrt{0.327} = 0.571s$

This is also the time it takes for the ball to fly horizontally, assume constant horizontal speed, we can calculate the speed it takes to travel across 20m in 0.571s

v = 20 / 0.571 = 35 m/s

Find the distance between the two points (-2,-6) and (0,5).

HACTEHA [7]

Answer: OPTION B

Step-by-step explanation:

You can find the distance between two points by using the following formula:

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Given the points (-2,-6) and (0,5), you can identify that:

$x_2=-2\\x_1=0\\\\y_2=-6\\y_1=5$

Therefore, substituting values, you get that the distance between those points is:

$d=\sqrt{(-2-0)^2+(-6-5)^2}\\\\d=5\sqrt{5}$
