The answer is 1.715 hope I helped
Radius: r=18 feet
Cental Angle: A=44°
Each cycle (one back and forth) lasts 12 seconds
In each cycle the pendulum swings:
L=(A/360°) 2 pi r
L=(44°/360°)(2)(3.141592654)(18 feet)
L=(0.122222222)(113.0973355 feet)
L=13.82300764 feet
Rounded to 3 decimal places:
L=13.823 feet
Each minute (60 seconds) the pendulum makes:
Number of cycles: n=(60 seconds) / (12 seconds)→n=5 cycles
Then, each minute, the pendulum swings:
T=nL=5(13.823 feet)→T=69.115 feet
Answer: Each minute, the pendulum swings 69.115 feet.
The fraction he added is 6/30, or 1/5.
I'm not 100% sure about the equation you want me to use but I did the work this way:
5/6+x/30=31/30 (the denominator has to equal 30 because you are adding. You need a common denominator which is why you need to change 5/6. We can label the numerator as a hidden value x)
25/30+x=31/30
You can then work backwards and basically subtract 25 from 31 and get 6; so x=6
N=8. All you have to do is count the amount of numbers after the 2 in 200,000,000. There are 8 numbers after the number 2 which makes n=8.
