Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Step-by-step explanation:

People need to know how to convert units because variables are measured in different units and it is necessary to know the equivalence to know if people is talking about the same thing.

For example, if we measure our height in feet and somebody measure his height in meters, we need to know how to convert units to know the exact height of this person.

Or if our currency is dollar and we travel to a country with a different currency, we must know how to convert units to know the price of something in a different country.

Aleonysh [2.5K]
Let steph score be x
Then kyrie score is 2x-5
Sum of the two scores is 55
Therefore x+2x-5=55
3x-5=55
3x=60
x=20

Therefore steph score is 20
And kyrie score is 2(20)-5
40-5=35

A ball bounces back 0.6 of its height on every bounce. If a ball is dropped 200 feet, how high does it bounce the fifth bounce?
MissTica

It is asking you to slice off 40% of the bounce height in each subsequent bounce.


So you start with full height 1, that's n = 0 bounces. Then after n = 1 bounce the new height is .6. After the second bounce, n = 2, the height becomes .6 X .6 = .36. And after n = 3, we have .6 X .6 X .6 = .216


So by induction we see that h(n = 5) = .6^n = .6^5 = 0.07776 = .078 of its original height or H = .078*200 = 15.6 ft. after five bounces. ANS. 16.0 if rounded to the nearest tenth
