Set up ratio problem

.2 oz butter / (1/15) lb jelly = x / 1 lb jelly

Then cross multiply the stuff opposite each other in the fractions... set it up as a multiplication problem

.2 × 1  = (1/15) × x 

.2 = (1/15)x

Multiply both sides of equation by 15 to clear out the (1/15) fraction and get x 

x = 3

Sue Mitchell weighed 8 lb. 13 oz. when she was born. She now weighs 93 lb. 5
ra1l [238]

Answer:

Weight gain = 84 lb 5 oz

Average weight gain = 6 lb 5 oz

Step-by-step explanation:

lb means pounds

16 oz = 1 pound

Convert the weight to pounds

Weight when she was born = 8 lb. 13 oz

= 8 pounds + 0.8125 pounds

= 8.8125 pounds

Present weight = 93 lb. 5

oz

= 93 pounds + 0.3125 pounds

= 93.3125 pounds

How much has she gained since birth

Weight gain = Present weight - Weight when she was born

= 93.3125 pounds - 8.8125 pounds

= 84.5 pounds

= 84 lb 5 oz

Weight gain = 84 lb 5 oz

what has been her average weight for each year if she is 13 year old

Average weight gain = Weight gain / 13

= 84.5 pounds / 13

= 6.5 pounds

= 6 lb 5 oz

Average weight gain = 6 lb 5 oz

If two objects travel through space along two different curves, it’s often important to know whether they will collide. (Will a
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

<em>Both objects collide at t=3 in the point  <9,9,9></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Collision Of Moving Objects </em>

Two objects can describe different trajectories in the space. Those trajectories can intersect in one or more points but it doesn't mean they collide. Collision occurs if they are in the same position at the same time. If we know the positions as a function of time of each object, we could try so find if, for a given time, they are in the same position.

The positions of two object are given as

r1(t)=

r2(t)=

Let's find out if there is at least one value of t that makes both positions to be the same. We can try by equating one of the three coordinates and testing if the value of t make both have the same x,y,z coordinate. Let's try equating the x-components of both

t^2=4t-3

Rearranging

t^2-4t+3=0

Factoring

(t-1)(t-3)=0

We found two solutions

t=1,\ t=3

for t=1 the x-coordinates are

x1=t^2=1

x2=4t-3=1

For t=3

x1=t^2=9

x2=4t-3=9

Now we'll test both values in the y-coordinates

y1=7t-12

y2=t^2

For t=1

y1=-5

y2=1

Thus they don't collide at t=1. Let's try t=3

y1=7(3)-12=9

y2=3^2=9

Now let's try the z-coordinate for t=3

z1=t^2=9

z2=5t-6=9

Since the three coordinates match, we can say both objects collide at t=3 in the point  <9,9,9>
