Answer:

The answer is b. 25/216

Step-by-step explanation:

Bill wants to see how many times he needs to roll a standard number cube before getting a 5.

p = \frac{1}{6} (on an average: roll 6 times before getting a 5)

The required probability can be found as :

\frac{1}{5}(\frac{5}{6}* \frac{5}{6}* \frac{5}{6})

= \frac{5}{6}* \frac{5}{6}* \frac{1}{6}

= \frac{25}{216}

So, the answer is b. 25/216

If an object is projected upward from ground level with an initial velocity of 128 ft per sec, then it's height in feet after t
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer: t= 4 seconds

Maximum height = 256 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the object projected upwards after t seconds is given by

s(t)=-16t^2+128t.

The expression is a quadratic equation. When this equation is plotted on a graph, height against time, it takes the shape of a parabola whose vertex represents the maximum height attained by the object.

To get the value of t at the maximum height,

t = -b/2a

From the equation,

a = -16

b = 128

t = -128/-2×-16

= -128 /- 32= 4

it will take 4 seconds to reach its maximum height

To find maximum height attained, put t= 4 in the equation

s(t)=-16t^2+128t

S = -16× 4^2 + 128×4

S = -256+512

S = 256 feet

The volume of 100 drops of a liquid is 0.1 fluid ounce.<br><br> What is the volume of 1000 drops?
Ket [755]

Hey there!

100 drops of the liquid is 0.1 fluid ounces.

1,000 is equal to 10 x 100.

To find the volume of 1,000 drops of liquid, we must multiply the volume of 100 drops, which is 0.1, by 10.

0.1 x 10 = 1

Therefore, the volume of 1,000 drops of this liquid is 1 fluid ounce.

Hope this helps!
