Answer:

1+2\sqrt{2} seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

When the ball hits the ground, its height will obviously be 0. Therefore, you can set up the equation the following way:

0=-5t^2+10t+35 \\\\-5(t^2-2t-7)=0

Plugging this into the quadratic equation, you get:

t=\dfrac{2\pm\sqrt{4+28}}{2}= \\\\\dfrac{2\pm4\sqrt{2}}{2}= \\\\1\pm2\sqrt{2}

Since the time must be positive, it takes the ball 1+2\sqrt{2} seconds to hit the ground, or around 3.828. Hope this helps!

A bag contains 40 marbles. The probability of selecting a red marble at random is 1/5. How many red marbles are in the bag?
goblinko [34]

Answer:

8 red marbles.

Step-by-step explanation:

All together we have 40 marbles. The fraction of marbles that are red is 1/5 which means that we should divide the total number of marbles, which is 40 by the denominator ( Bottom number of fraction ) 5 so that we get the number of groups that have 1 red marble in them. In this case we have 8 groups.

40/5=8

You always divide by the denominator ( Bottom number of fraction ) first and then you multiply your answer by the numerator ( Top number of fraction ) .

If each group has 1 red marble in it and we have 8 groups, it means that we have 8 red marbles in the bag.

1 * 8 = 8 red marbles in the bag

If the numerator (number above the fraction line) was more than one, then this would mean that we have more than 1 marble in each group of marbles.

Example:

If we had 3/5 we would have 3 marbles in each group of marbles. This means that instead of doing 1 * 8 we would have to do 3 * 8 = 24. We would have 24 red marbles in the bag.

Easy and quick way if you do not need the explanation:

Another way we could do this is by simply multiplying the fraction ( 1/5 ) by the total number of marbles ( 40 ). This would still give us an answer of 8 red marbles in the bag. 40/5=8, 8*1=8
