(3/500)*(12,000) = 72 batteries . . . answer is B) 72

If you set up the problem and put 500 / 3 = 12,000 / x, you could cross multiply. 12,000 times 3 = 500 times x. 
36,000 = 500x Now divide both sides by 500.
72 = x
The answer is B.72!

PLEASE HELP IM DESPERATE!!!!
Lynna [10]

Answer:

2%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the first number

It increases by 70 %

The new number is

m = x+ .70x

   = 1.7x

Let y be the second number

It decreases by 40 %

The new number is

n =y - .40 y

  = .6y


The product of the original numbers is xy

The product of the new number is

mn = (1.7x * .6y) = 1.02xy

The new number is larger than the old number so it is an increase.

Percent increase is  new - original divided by original  times 100%

Percent increase = (1.02 xy - xy)

                                -----------------  * 100%

                                 xy  

                           = .02 xy

                                ------- * 100 %

                                 xy  

                            = .02 * 100 %

                             = 2%

What is the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points (2, 5) and (8, 3)
raketka [301]

Answer:

slope = - \frac{1}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (2, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (8, 3)

m = \frac{3-5}{8-2} = \frac{-2}{6} = - \frac{1}{3}

An object is dropped from a bridge and allowed to freefall to the ground. The height of the object over time can be modeled usin
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

<em>3 seconds</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Complete question:

<em>An object is dropped from a bridge and allowed to freefall to the ground. The height of the object over time can be modeled using h(t)=144-16t2. How many seconds will it take the object to reach the ground? 2 seconds 3 seconds 9 seconds 16 seconds</em>

<em></em>

Given the height of an object modelled by the expression;

<em>h(t)=144-16t²</em>

The object will reach the ground when h(t) = 0

Substitute into the formula

0 = 144 - 16t²

-144 = -16t²

144 = 16t²

Swap

16t² = 144

t² = 144/16

t² = 9

Square root both sides

√t² = ±√9

t = ±3secs

<em>Since the time cannot be negative, hence the object will reach the ground 3 seconds after</em>
