Answer:
B) 34/48
Step-by-step explanation:
The easiest common denominator to find is the product of the denominators you have.
__
The difference is ...
__
<em>Additional comment</em>
The difference numerator and denominator have a common factor of 2, so can be reduced to 17/24. The denominator 24 could have been used as the common denominator from the start.
5/6 -1/8 = 20/24 -3/24 = 17/24 . . . . reduced result
__
Using the <em>least common denominator</em> does not always result in a reduced sum or difference. If some other denominator is used (as here), then you can be assured that the result will need to be reduced to get to lowest terms.
Answer:
As per the statement:
The path that the object takes as it falls to the ground can be modeled by:
h =-16t^2 + 80t + 300
where
h is the height of the objects and
t is the time (in seconds)
At t = 0 , h = 300 ft
When the objects hit the ground, h = 0
then;
-16t^2+80t+300=0
For a quadratic equation: ax^2+bx+c=0 ......[1]
the solution for the equation is given by:
On comparing the given equation with [1] we have;
a = -16 ,b = 80 and c = 300
then;
Simplify:
= -2.5 sec and
= 7.5 sec
Time can't be in negative;
therefore, the time it took the object to hit the ground is 7.5 sec
