Time = distance/speed, so

3.54x10^7 / 3x10^8 = 1.18x10^-1

or, 0.118 seconds

Tomas bought 80 tickets for rides at an amusement park. Each ride costs 5 tickets, and Tomas has been on x rides so far. Which e

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Option A, C and D are correct choices.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of rides that Tomas has been on so far. Each ride costs 5 tickets. This means that cost of x rides will be 5x.

We are told that Tomas bought 80 tickets for rides at an amusement park.

To find the number of of tickets that Tomas has left we will subtract cost of x rides from total number of tickets that Thomas bought.

We can represent this information in an expression as: $80-5x$

Now let us see which of our given choices in equivalent to our expression.

A. $80-5x$

Upon looking at option A we can see that it is same as our expression, therefore, option A is the correct choice.

B. $80+5x$

We can see that in this expression cost of x rides in being added instead of subtraction, therefore, option B is not a correct choice.

C. $5(16-x)$

Upon distributing 5 we will get,

$80-5x$

Now this expression is same same as our expression, therefore, option C is the correct choice.

D. $-5x+80$

This expression is also same as our expression as we can rearrange the terms in this expression as: $80-5x$ , therefore, option D is a correct choice as well.

E. $5(16+x)$

Upon distributing 5 we will get,

$80+5x$

We can see that in this expression cost of x rides in being added instead of subtraction, therefore, option E is not a correct choice.

The following two-way table describes student's after school activites. Find the probability that a randomly selected student is

stiv31 [10]

The probability that a randomly selected student is in music/drama is 25%

<h3>How to determine the probability?</h3>

From the table, we have the following values

Music/Drama = 7 + 13 + 5 = 25

Total = (20 + 20 + 25 + 7 + 13 + 5 + 3 + 2 + 5) = 100

The probability is then calculated as:
P = Music/Drama / Total

So, we have:

P = 25/100

Express as percentage

P = 25%

Hence, the probability that a randomly selected student is in music/drama is 25%

A ball is thrown upward from ground level. Its height h, in feet, above the ground after t seconds is h-48t -16t^2.

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

36 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a ball is thrown upward from ground level. Its height h, in feet, above the ground after t seconds is $h(t)=-48t -16t^2$ . We are asked to find the maximum height of the ball.

We can see that our given equation is a downward opening parabola, so its maximum height will be the vertex of the parabola.

To find the maximum height of the ball, we need to find y-coordinate of vertex of parabola.

Let us find x-coordinate of parabola using formula $x=-\frac{b}{2a}$ .

$x=-\frac{-48}{2(-16)}$

$x=-\frac{48}{32}$

$x=-\frac{3}{2}$

So, the x-coordinate of the parabola is $-\frac{3}{2}$ . Now, we will substitute $x=-\frac{3}{2}$ in our given equation to find y-coordinate of parabola.

$h(t)=-48t -16t^2$

$h(-\frac{3}{2})=-48(-\frac{3}{2})-16(-\frac{3}{2})^2$

$h(-\frac{3}{2})=-24(-3)-16(\frac{9}{4})$

$h(-\frac{3}{2})=72-4*9$

$h(-\frac{3}{2})=72-36$

$h(-\frac{3}{2})=36$

Therefore, the maximum height of the ball is 36 feet.
