That’s easy just place 2.4 on top of 1.5 and do the math, I did it in the picture for you, since there are two decimal points one in 2.4 and the second in 1.5. So the answer is 3.60 as shown in the pic. Any questions ? Sorry the picture is sort of messed

write about which method you prefer to use to divide by 5 counting up, counting back on a number line, or dividing by 10, and th

maria [59]

Answer:

In First method : counting up, counting back on a number line,

If we want the quotient after dividing the number by 5 then we count how many 5 we get from 0 to the dividend.

For example : $\frac{30}{5}$

Since, from 0 to 30 there are six 5's obtained. ( because 5 × 6 = 30 )

Thus, $\frac{30}{5}=6$

In Second Method : dividing by 10, and then doubling the quotient.

First we divide the number by 10 then multiply the quotient by 2.

For Example: $\frac{30}{5}$

Since, $\frac{30}{10}=3$

$2\times 3 = 6$

Thus, $\frac{30}{5}=6$

Now, when we compare the above methods then we conclude that for the smaller numbers first method is appropriate because for small numbers we can easily count total 5's from 0. While for large numbers Second method is appropriate because it is hard to count the total 5's for the large number.

4. a) A ping pong ball has a 75% rebound ratio. When you drop it from a height of k feet, it bounces and bounces endlessly. If t

Klio2033 [76]

First part of question:

Find the general term that represents the situation in terms of k.

The general term for geometric series is:

$a_{n}=a_{1}r^{n-1}$

$a_{1}$ = the first term of the series

$r$ = the geometric ratio

$a_{1}$ would represent the height at which the ball is first dropped. Therefore:

$a_{1} = k$

We also know that the ball has a rebound ratio of 75%, meaning that the ball only bounces 75% of its original height every time it bounces. This appears to be our geometric ratio. Therefore:

$r=\frac{3}{4}$

Our general term would be:

$a_{n}=a_{1}r^{n-1}$

$a_{n}=k(\frac{3}{4}) ^{n-1}$

Second part of question:

If the ball dropped from a height of 235ft, determine the highest height achieved by the ball after six bounces.

$k$ represents the initial height:

$k = 235\ ft$

$n$ represents the number of times the ball bounces:

$n = 6$

Plugging this back into our general term of the geometric series:

$a_{n}=k(\frac{3}{4}) ^{n-1}$

$a_{n}=235(\frac{3}{4}) ^{6-1}$

$a_{n}=235(\frac{3}{4}) ^{5}$

$a_{n}=55.8\ ft$

$a_{n}$ represents the highest height of the ball after 6 bounces.

Third part of question:

If the ball dropped from a height of 235ft, find the total distance traveled by the ball when it strikes the ground for the 12th time. 

This would be easier to solve if we have a general term for the <em>sum </em>of a geometric series, which is:

$S_{n}=\frac{a_{1}(1-r^{n})}{1-r}$

We already know these variables:

$a_{1}= k = 235\ ft$

$r=\frac{3}{4}$

$n = 12$

Therefore:

$S_{n}=\frac{(235)(1-\frac{3}{4} ^{12})}{1-\frac{3}{4} }$

$S_{n}=\frac{(235)(1-\frac{3}{4} ^{12})}{\frac{1}{4} }$

$S_{n}=(4)(235)(1-\frac{3}{4} ^{12})$

$S_{n}=910.22\ ft$

Please answer the following questions

laila [671]

Answer:

4a) 110 square centimetres

4b) 127 square centimetres

6) 292 square centimetres

8) 800 tiles

Step-by-step explanation:

4. We need to find the area of the large rectangle and then deduct the area of the unshaded part:

a) The large rectangle has dimensions 12 cm by 15 cm. Its area is:

A = 12 * 15 = 180 square centimetres

The unshaded part has a length of 15 - (3 + 2) cm i.e. 10 cm and a width of 7 cm. Its area is:

a = 10 * 7 = 70 square centimetres

Therefore, the area of the shaded part is:

A - a = 180 - 70 = 110 square centimetres

b) The large rectangle has dimensions 13 cm by 11 cm. Its area is:

A = 13 * 11 = 143 square centimetres

The unshaded part has dimensions 8 cm by 2 cm. Its area is:

a = 8 * 2 = 16 square centimetres

Therefore, the area of the shaded part is:

A - a = 143 - 16 = 127 square centimetres

6. The background area of the space not covered by the photograph is the area of the frame minus the area of the photograph.

The frame has dimensions 24 cm by 18 cm. Therefore, its area is:

A = 24 * 18 = 432 square centimetres

The photograph has dimensions 14 cm by 10 cm. Therefore, its area is:

a = 14 * 10 = 140 square centimetres

Therefore, the background area of the space not covered by the photograph is:

A - a = 432 - 140 = 292 square centimetres

8) The floor has dimensions 8 m by 4 m. The area of the floor is:

A = 8 * 4 = 32 square centimetres

Each square tile has dimensions 20 cm by 20 cm. In metres, that is 0.2 m by 0.2 m. The area of each tile is:

a = 0.2 * 0.2 = 0.04 square metres

The number of tiles that are needed is the area of the floor divided by the area of each tile:

A / a = 32 / 0.04 = 800 tiles
