15/40 = 5/8
cross multiply
(15)(8) = (40)(5)
120 = 200...incorrect...so it is not a true proportion

little tip : proportions are nothing but equivalent fractions...15/40 is not equivalent to 5/8.....now if it would have been 15/40 = 3/8 , since these are equivalent fractions, this would have been a true proportion

A grasshopper jumps off a tree stump. The height, in feet, of the grasshopper above the ground after t seconds is modeled by the
Monica [59]

The height, in feet, of the grasshopper above the ground after t seconds is modeled by the function , which is

h(t) =-t^2+\frac{4}{3}t+ \frac{1}{4}

When the grasshopper land on the ground,

h(t)=0

that is,

-t^2+\frac{4}{3}t+ \frac{1}{4}=0

Multiplying whole equation by 12 to get rid of denominators 3 and 4

-12t^2+16t +3=0

(3-2t)(6t+1)=0 \\ 3-2t=0 , 6t+1=0 \\ t= \frac{3}{2} , \frac{-1}{6}

And time cant be negative, so the correct option is

t = \frac{3}{2}=1.5 seconds

Correct option is C .

A grocery store bought milk for $2.80 $⁢2.80 per half gallon and stored it in two refrigerators. During the night, one refrigera
harkovskaia [24]

Let x represent the number of half-gallons purchased by the store. Then x-13 is the number sold, and 2.80x is the store's cost. The revenue is 4.06(x-13) and the difference between that and cost is the profit.

... 4.06(x -13) -2.80x = 63.14

... 1.26x - 52.78 = 63.14 . .  . . eliminate parentheses, collect terms

... 1.26x = 115.92 . . . . . . . . . . add 52.78

... x = 115.92/1.26 = 92 . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x

The store purchased 92 half-gallons of milk.
