Answer: 3

Step-by-step explanation:

In 5 years, Jumoke will be 16. 16 divided by 2 is 8. Amina will be 8 in 5 years. If we subtract 5 from 8, we see that Amina is 3 currently.

Answer:

6 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose Amina's age is "a" and Jumoke's age is "j". We know that Jumoke is 11 years older than Amina, so we can say: j = a + 11

In 5 years' time, Jumoke will be twice as old as Amina then. In 5 years, Jumoke will be j + 5 years old, and Amina will be a + 5 years old. Since Jumoke will be twice as old then, the equation is: j + 5 = 2 * (a + 5)

We can substitute a + 11 in for j in the second equation:

(a + 11) + 5 = 2 * (a + 5) = 2a + 10

a + 16 = 2a + 10

a = 6

Thus, Amina's present age is 6 years old.

Hope this helps!

a ball is thrown vertically upward from the ground with an initial velocity of 60 ft/sec. how high will the ball go?

vazorg [7]

Answer:

The ball will go to maximum height of 56.25 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that, a ball is thrown vertically upward from the ground. Initial velocity of the ball, v = 60 ft/sec

Initial height is 0 as the ball is thrown from ground. The equation of projectile is given by :

$h(t)=-16t^2+vt+h$

h = 0

$h(t)=-16t^2+60t$ ..............(1)

We need to find the maximum height reached by the ball. For maximum height,

$\dfrac{dh(t)}{dt}=0$

$\dfrac{d(-16t^2+60t)}{dt}=0$

t = 1.875 seconds

Put the values of t in equation (1). So,

$h(t)=-16(1.875)^2+60(1.875)$

h(t) = 56.25 meters

So, the ball will go to maximum height of 56.25 meters. Hence, this is teh required solution.

Matthew bought 12 roses for his mother. Exactly 1 of the roses were white. How many of the roses were white?

insens350 [35]

<h3>hello!</h3>

What is $\sf{\displaystyle\frac{1}{4}}$ of 12?

In order to find it, we should divide 12 by 4:-

Now, solve our word problem:-

Matthew bought 12 roses. $\sf{\displaystyle\frac{1}{4} }$ of these roses were white.

And we already know how to solve this problem :)

Hence,

$\bigstar{\boxed{\pmb{3~of~the~roses~were~white}}}$

Hope everything is clear; if you need any clarification/explanation, kindly let me know, and I will comment and/or edit my answer :)
