First  calculate that numeric value. It cannot be done immediately without calculations.

if 85% of studends liked mystery that means that 100% - 85% = 15% didnt like.

Those 15% are 30 that were given in text. Now we can calculate this using proportion:

15%        30 students
85%         x students

we use cross multiplication:
15*x = 30*85
x = 30*85/15
x = 170

Answer is 170

The distance travelled in (m) by a ball dropped from a height are 128/9,32/3,8,6,...
Allushta [10]

Answer: it will trave 56.89 meters before coming to rest.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a geometric progression since the distance travelled (height) by the ball is reducing by a constant ratio, r. Since the number of times that the ball will bounce is infinite, then we would apply the formula for determining the sum of the terms in a geometric progression to infinity which is expressed as

S = a/(1 - r)

where

S = sum of the distance travelled by the ball

a = initial distance or height of the ball

r = common ratio

From the information given,

a = 128/9

r = (32/3)/(128/9) = 0.75

Therefore,

S = (128/9)/(1 - 0.75) = 56.89 meters

Sam the Hummingbird flies at a rate of 2 yards per minute, as modeled by the equation y = 2x. She
daser333 [38]

Answer:

See attachment for plot

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y =2x

R =+2 --- increment in the rate

First, we need to model the new rate

A linear equation is:

y = mx + b

Where

m = rate

Compare y =2x and y = mx + b. we have:

m =2

The above represents the previous rate.

The new rate:

R =+2

Rewrite as:

R = m+2

R = 2+2

R = 4

So, the model is:

y = Rx

y = 4x

<u>The plot at 1 and 2 minutes</u>

When x = 1

y = 4x = 4 * 1 = 4

When x = 2

y = 4x = 4 * 2 = 8

So, we have:

(x_1,y_1) =(1,4)

(x_2,y_2) =(2,8)

<em>Whether she moves backwards or forward, the distance covered remains the same</em>
