Answer:

The fraction of income does Lakshmi donate to charity is $\frac{1}{5}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the income of the Lakshmi be x.

As given

Lakshmi donates 20 % of her income to charity .

20% is written in the decimal form.

$= \frac{20}{100}$

= 0.20

Lakshmi donates to charity = 0.20 × x

= 0.20x

$Fraction\ of\ Lakshmi\ income\ donate\ to\ charity = \frac{Lakshmi\ donates\ to\ charity}{Total\ income\ of\ Lakshmi}$

Putting the values in the above

$Fraction\ of\ Lakshmi\ income\ donate\ to\ charity = \frac{0.20x}{x}$

$Fraction\ of\ Lakshmi\ income\ donate\ to\ charity = \frac{20}{100}$

$Fraction\ of\ Lakshmi\ income\ donate\ to\ charity = \frac{1}{5}$

Therefore the fraction of income does Lakshmi donate to charity is $\frac{1}{5}$ .

Is this question dealing with surface area or volume?? (Don’t mind the w•l•h)

marin [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First you must find the number of cubic feet in the pool. (That's volume)

Formula

V = l*w*h

Givens

l =38
w = 22
w = 8

Solution

Volume

V = 38 * 22 * 8

V = 6688 cubic feet.

Gallons

1 cubic foot = 7.5 gallons

6688 ft^3 = x

Proportion

1/6688 = 7.5 / x Cross Multiply

x * 1 = 7.5 * 6688

x = 50160 gallons

An object is launched with a velocity at 64 feet per second from a platform 30 feet high. the function H(t)= -16t2+64t+30 repres

PolarNik [594]

To find the maximum or minimum value of a function, we can find the derivative of the function, set it equal to 0, and solve for the critical points.

H'(t) = -32t + 64

Now find the critical numbers:

-32t + 64 = 0

-32t = -64

t = 2 seconds

Since H(t) has a negative leading coefficient, we know that it opens downward. This means that the critical point is a maximum value rather than a minimum. If we weren't sure, we could check by plugging in a value for t slightly less and slighter greater than t=2 into H'(t):

H'(1) = 32

H'(3) = -32

As you can see, the rate of change of the object's height goes from increasing to decreasing, meaning the critical point at t=2 is a maximum.

To find the height, plug t=2 into H(t):

H(2) = -16(2)^2 +64(2) + 30 = 94

The answer is 94 ft at 2 sec.

The product of two rational numbers is 9⁄7 and one of them is 15⁄14. Then the other rational number is

Rasek [7]

Answer:

The other rational number in the operation given is:

6/5

Step-by-step explanation:

To obtain the number in the operation given, we're gonna represent the operation:

r * 15/14 = 9/7

Where:

r = the other rational number.

Now we are going to solve r to identify its value in numbers:

r * 15/14 = 9/7

$r = \frac{\frac{9}{7} }{\frac{15}{14}}$ (We pass a number that is multiplying to the left of the equal, to divide to the right of the equal symbol)

$r = \frac{6}{5}$

As you can see, when we operate, the result is 6/5, and we can prove this multiplying as we had in the original equation, replacing r by 6/5:

r * 15/14 = 9/7
6/5 * 15/14 = 9/7
9/7 = 9/7

In this form, we know the result is correct.
