Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the distance travelled by the helicopter and the plane.

Let t represent the time it takes the the helicopter to travel x miles

Speed of the helicopter is 180 miles per hour.

Distance travelled = speed × time

x = 180t

Twenty minutes later, a plane leaves the airport and follows the helicopter at 330mi/hr. Converting 20 minutes to hours, it becomes 20/60 minutes

Time taken for the plane to travel x miles is t - 20/60

x = 330(t - 20/60)

Before the plane overtakes the helicopter, they would have travelled equal distance. Therefore

330(t - 20/60) = 180t

330t - 110 = 180t

330t - 180t = 110

150t = 110

t = 110/150 = 0.73 hours

I like to start with changing fractions to decimals. It seems easier that way.
5/8 = 0.625 cups

Now divide 4 by 0.625
4 / 0.625 = 6.4

Noor can offer 6 cups with an extra 2/5 of a cup left. He can offer the 2/5 of a cup to a friend, so he can offer 7 friends some hot chocolate!

A projectile is launched from ground level with a initial velocity of Vo feet per second. Neglecting air resistance, its height
antiseptic1488 [7]
The height at t seconds after launch is
s(t) = - 16t² + V₀t
where V₀ = initial launch velocity.

Part a:
When s = 192 ft, and V₀ = 112 ft/s, then
-16t² + 112t = 192
16t² - 112t + 192 = 0
t² - 7t + 12 = 0
(t - 3)(t - 4) = 0
t = 3 s, or t = 4 s

The projectile reaches a height of  192 ft at 3 s on the way up, and at 4 s on the way down.

Part b:
When the projectile reaches the ground, s = 0.
Therefore
-16t² + 112t = 0
-16t(t - 7) = 0
t = 0 or t = 7 s

When t=0, the projectile is launched.
When t = 7 s, the projectile returns to the ground.

Answer: 7 s

olganol [36]
Hello!

Let's make a proportion:

\frac{30}{45} =  \frac{6}{x}

Cross multiply

45 × 6 = 270

Divide by 30

270 ÷ 30 = 9

\framebox {The length is 9 inches}
