Answer:

There are 172 butterflies  in the conservatory.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

ratio of butterflies to total number of flying insects is 36 to 100

total number of butterflies / total number of flying insects = 36 / 100 = 9/25

Create a table for how many butterflies there are for 1, 50, and 100 flying insects.

Let the number of butter flies be x

when total no. of insects = 1

total number of butterflies / total number of flying insects  =9/25=x/1

=> 9/25= x/1

=> x = 9/25

____________________________________

when total no. of insects = 50

total number of butterflies / total number of flying insects  =9/25=x/50

=> 9/25= x/50

=> x = 9/25 * 50 = 18

_______________________________________

when total no. of insects = 100

total number of butterflies / total number of flying insects  =9/25=x/100

=> 9/25= x/100

=> x = 9/25 * 100= 36

Thus, table is

butterfly    total no of insects

   9/25            1

     50             18

     100            36

______________________________________________

Given there There are 450 total flying insects in the conservatory

again using the same ratio and taking no. of butterflies as x

total number of butterflies / total number of flying insects  =9/25=x/450

9/25=x/450

=>x = 9/25 * 450 = 9*18 = 172

Thus, there are 172 butterflies  in the conservatory.

Change 179km to miles. Type a whole number or a decimal. Round to four decimal places as needed.
atroni [7]

Answer:

179/1.60934 miles then divide to get the whole number/ decimal.

Step-by-step explanation:

A quick search tells me there are 1.60934 km in 1 mile.  

To convert from one unit to another there is a super simple method.  Set up a fraction with the two values, so in this case 1/1.60934  or 1.60934/1.  Which do you use?  well it depends which you are tryng to convert.

1.60934/1 has the units km/miles so since miles is on the bottom we would use it to convert miles.  That's hat you have to look at, what is in the denominator.  Since we are converting 179 km we want km on the bottom.

So we use 1/1.60934 instead because the units are miles/km.  now you just multiply the 179 by the fraction.  so the answer is 179/1.60934 miles.

Now it says we need a whole number of decimal, can you handle the division?

Kesha threw her baton up in the air from the marching band platform during practice. The equation h(t) = −16t² + 54t + 40 gives
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

a) 40 feet

b) 54 ft/min

c) 4 mins

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:-

- Kesha models the height ( h ) of the baton from the ground level but thrown from a platform of height hi.

- The function h ( t ) is modeled to follow a quadratic - parabolic path mathematically expressed as:

                           h ( t ) = −16t² + 54t + 40

Which gives the height of the baton from ground at time t mins.

- The initial point is of the height of the platform which is at a height of ( hi ) from the ground level.

- So the initial condition is expressed by time = 0 mins, the height of the baton h ( t ) would be:

                         h ( 0 ) = hi = -16*(0)^2 + 54*0 + 40

                         h ( 0 ) = hi = 0 + 0 + 40 = 40 feet

Answer: The height of the platform hi is 40 feet.

- The speed ( v ) during the parabolic path of the baton also varies with time t.

- The function of speed ( v ) with respect to time ( t ) can be determined by taking the derivative of displacement of baton from ground with respect to time t mins.

                        v ( t ) = dh / dt

                        v ( t )= d ( −16t² + 54t + 40 ) / dt

                        v ( t )= -2*(16)*t + 54

                        v ( t )= -32t + 54

- The velocity with which Kesha threw the baton is represented by tim t = 0 mins.

Hence,

                        v ( 0 ) = vi = -32*( 0 ) + 54

                        v ( 0 ) = vi = 54 ft / min

Answer: Kesha threw te baton with an initial speed of vo = 54 ft/min

- The baton reaches is maximum height h_max and comes down when all the kinetic energy is converted to potential energy. The baton starts to come down and cross the platform height hi = 40 feet and hits the ground.

- The height of the ball at ground is zero. Hence,

                     h ( t ) = 0

                     0 = −16t² + 54t + 40

                     0 = -8t^2 + 27t + 20

- Use the quadratic formula to solve the quadratic equation:

                     

                    t = \frac{27+/-\sqrt{27^2 - 4*8*(-20)} }{2*8}\\\\t = \frac{27+/-\sqrt{1369} }{16}\\\\t = \frac{27+/-37 }{16}\\\\t =  \frac{27 + 37}{16} \\\\t = 4

Answer: The time taken for the baton to hit the ground is t = 4 mins
