Answer:
t = 12h
Step-by-step explanation:
t = total
h = hours
We have been given that you drop a ball from a window 50 metres above the ground. The ball bounces to 50% of its previous height with each bounce. We are asked to find the total distance traveled by up and down from the time it was dropped from the window until the 25th bounce.
We will use sum of geometric sequence formula to solve our given problem.
, where,
a = First term of sequence,
r = Common ratio,
n = Number of terms.
For our given problem
,
and
.





Therefore, the ball will travel 100 meters and option B is the correct choice.
Answer:
The correct answer is 0.486.
Step-by-step explanation:
Total number of employees at the home office of Gibraltar Insurance Company is 270 + 340 = 610
Number of employees on flex time are 350, out of which 170 are men and 180 are women.
We need to find the probability that out of the given employees, a randomly chosen one is on flex time and is a man.
Favorable outcomes are 170 and total outcome is 350.
Thus the probability is given by
= 0.4857≈ 0.486
Number of weekend minutes used: x
Number of weekday minutes used: y
This month Nick was billed for 643 minutes:
(1) x+y=643
The charge for these minutes was $35.44
Telephone company charges $0.04 per minute for weekend calls (x)
and $0.08 per minute for calls made on weekdays (y)
(2) 0.04x+0.08y=35.44
We have a system of 2 equations and 2 unkowns:
(1) x+y=643
(2) 0.04x+0.08y=35.44
Using the method of substitution
Isolating x from the first equation:
(1) x+y-y=643-y
(3) x=643-y
Replacing x by 643-y in the second equation
(2) 0.04x+0.08y=35.44
0.04(643-y)+0.08y=35.44
25.72-0.04y+0.08y=35.44
0.04y+25.72=35.44
Solving for y:
0.04y+25.72-25.72=35.44-25.72
0.04y=9.72
Dividing both sides of the equation by 0.04:
0.04y/0.04=9.72/0.04
y=243
Replacing y by 243 in the equation (3)
(3) x=643-y
x=643-243
x=400
Answers:
The number of weekends minutes used was 400
The number of weekdays minutes used was 243
