Answer:

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

c-----> the number of cola bottles that Dan picks

s ----> the number of smarties that Dan picks

m ---> the number of marshmallows that Dan picks

we know that

c=3s ----> equation A

m=2s ---> equation B

we know that

To find out the proportion of the bag of sweets that are smarties, divide the number of smarties by the total of sweets

The total of sweets is equal to

(c+s+m)

substitute equation A and equation B in the total of sweets

(3s+s+2s) =6s

Find the proportion

s/6s

Simplify

1/6

A ball is thrown into the air from a height of 9cm above the ground, and its height is given by S=128+32t-16t^2, where t is the
OverLord2011 [107]
-16t² + 32t + 128 = 0
-16t² + 64t - 32t + 128 = 0
-16t(t - 4) - 32(t - 4)
(-16t - 32)(t - 4) = 0
-16t -32 = 0      t - 4 = 0
-16t = 32          t = 4
t = -2

t = -2 and t = 4 are the values that makes S = 0.
Yes, because if you apply either of  these values alone, S will be 0.
