Andre45 [30]

Answer:

6.1 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct question is

A helicopter flying at an altitude of 600 ft dropped a package to a lifeboat. Use the formula t= √h/4 to find how many seconds it takes for the package to reach the lifeboat. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a second

we have

$t= \frac{\sqrt{h}}{4}$

substitute the value of h in the formula

$h=600\ ft$

$t= \frac{\sqrt{600}}{4}=6.1\ sec$

I don't get this... someone explain this plum thing please...... Before a plum is dried to become a prune, it is 92% water. A pr

taurus [48]

Answer:

21.74 But if it tells you to round I would round to 21 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

its basically just a ratio of 92 to 20

92/20=4.6

92-20=72% the amount that is lost

so given that the plum is 100 lbs we know that 72% is depleted

(72/92 = .78)X100= 78 lbs depleted

Lastly 100-78 =22 for the remaining weight of the prunes.
