Answer: 8.3 meters per second.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A hot air balloon descended 99.6 meters in 12 seconds.

then, the average rate of descent is given by :-

\text{Average rate of descent}=\dfrac{\text{\text{Distance descended }}}{\text{Time}}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{Average rate of descent}=\dfrac{99.6}{12}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{Average rate of descent}=8.3

Therefore, the balloon's average rate of descent in meters per second = 8.3 meters per second.

Alexis, Becca, and Cindy do volunteer work at Adopt-a-Pet Animal Shelter. They worked a total of 285 hours at the shelter last s
swat32

Alexis worked for 59 hours, Becca worked for 74 hours and Cindy worked for 152 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total hours worked by three of them = 285 hours

Let,

x represent the hours of Alexis.

y represent the hours of Becca.

z represent the hours of Cindy.

According to given statement;

x+y+z=285    Eqn 1

Alexis worked 15 hours less than Becca.

x = y-15         Eqn 2

z = 2y+4        Eqn 3

Putting value of x and z from Eqn 2 and 3 in Eqn 1

(y-15)+y+(2y+4)=285\\y-15+y+2y+4=285\\4y-11=285\\4y=285+11\\4y=296

Dividing both sides by 4

\frac{4y}{4}=\frac{296}{4}\\y=74

Putting y=74 in Eqn 2

x=74-15\\x=59

Putting y=74 in Eqn 3

z=2(74)+4\\z=148+4\\z=152

Alexis worked for 59 hours, Becca worked for 74 hours and Cindy worked for 152 hours.

Evaluate 13-0.5w+6x when w=10 and x=1/2
Rus_ich [418]
Ok so first you need to put w and x in the equation —-> 13-0.5(10)+6(1/2) and now you just solve -0.5 times 10 is -5 so 13-(-5)+6(1/2) now multiply 6 times 1/2 which is 3 so now we have 13-(-5)+3= 21
