The ratio given is
40:80:8
The equivalent ratio is
? : ? : 5
In the first ratio, look at the number in the same position as the 5 in the second ratio and compare it to the other 2 numbers. 80 is 10 times 8, and 40 is 5 times 8. Bring that same ratio down to the equivalent ratio...
5 x 10 = 50
5 x 5 = 25
The equivalent ratio is
25:50:5
Let

represent the number of feet that the balloon rises in the

minute.
so

ft , means that in the 1st minute, the balloon rose 40 feet

ft, means : in the 2nd minute the balloon rose 60 feet

we notice that each minute, the balloon rises a multiple of 20, feet:

so it is clear that

during the 15th minute the balloon rises

(feet)
Answer: 320
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The speed is 20.8 m/s
Step-by-step explanation:
If a projectile ascends vertically, and after 3 seconds it reaches its maximum height, calculate the velocity that it carries to the middle of its downward trajectory
Let the maximum height is h and initial velocity is u.
From first equation of motion
v = u + at
0 = u - g x 3
u = 3 g.....(1)
Use third equation of motion

Let the speed at half the height is v'.
