Answer:

2967 yes votes

Step-by-step explanation:

Welcome to Brainly!

One way of doing this problem follows:

Find the ratio, r, mentioned in the problem statement.  To do this,

write the equation 3r + 5r = 7912 and solve this for r:

8r = 7912, so that r = 989.

Then the number of yes votes was 3(989), or 2967, and the number of no votes was 5(989), or 4947.

check:  Does the ratio 2967/4947 equal 3/5?  yes.

There were 2967 yes votes.

Answer:

(a) 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m of the line given using the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0,3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, 2)

m = \frac{2-3}{3-0} = - \frac{1}{3}

given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

m_{perpendicular} = - \frac{1}{m} = - \frac{1}{-\frac{1}{3} } = 3 → (a)

a ball is thrown straight up from the top of a 128 foot tall building with an initial speed of 32 feet per second. the height of
STatiana [176]
Factoring, you have
  h(t) = -16(t^2 -2 -8) = -16(t -4)(t +2)

The ball hits the ground when h(t) = 0, so
  0 = -16(t -4)(t +2)
  t = 4 or -2

The positive solution is the one of interest.
  It will take 4 seconds for the ball to hit the ground.
