<h2>Greatest number of shelves is 4.</h2><h2>Number of adventure book on each shelf is 4.</h2><h2>Number of mysteries book on each shelf is 8.</h2><h2>Number of biographies book on each shelf is 3.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Here Sally has 16 adventure books, 32 mysteries, and 12 biographies.

The greatest number dividing all the numbers are 4.

So number of shelves is 4.

\texttt{Number of adventure book on each shelf =}\frac{16}{4}=4\\\\\texttt{Number of mysteries book on each shelf =}\frac{32}{4}=8\\\\\texttt{Number of biographies book on each shelf =}\frac{12}{4}=3

Greatest number of shelves is 4.

Number of adventure book on each shelf is 4.

Number of mysteries book on each shelf is 8.

Number of biographies book on each shelf is 3.

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of shelves must be a factor of the number of books from each category. (Because you are using multiple shelves). You are looking for the greatest amount, so you need to greatest, common factor (GCF) from each bunch of books.

GCF of 12, 16, 32 is 4.

Which of the following choices is the simple formula for the nth term of the following arithmetic sequence?
VladimirAG [237]
First, we start off with the nth term formula for an arithmetic sequence, which is 
a_{n} =a_{1}+(n-1)d

plug in the sequence numbers where they belong

a_{n}=5+(n-1)*(-4)&#10;
a_{n}=5+(-4n+4)
a_{n}=5-4n+4
a_{n}=-4n+9

And this is the final answer
-4n+9

If a ball is thrown directly upward with a velocity of 50ft/s, it's height (in feet) after t seconds is given by y=50t-16t^2 wha
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

39.0625 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the function is a quadratic representing height, and the coefficient of the t² is negative, the vertex of the parabola will be the maximum height achieved by the ball.  

The general form for a quadratic equation is ax² + bx + c, here a is -16, and b is 50

To find the x coordinate of the vertex, use   x = -b/(2a)

We have x = -50/[2(-16)]

               

                  x = -50/-32

             

                         x= 25/16

Now plug that into the equation to find the y value, which will be the height...

y = 50(25/16) - 16(25/16)²

    y = 1250/16 - 16(625/256)

        y = 1250/16 - 625/16

              y = 625/16

                   y = 39.0625
