Answer: The question is incomplete

Step-by-step explanation: The answer to this question cannot be determined correctly since an important detail is missing.

However, let me explain how you would normally go about it by using an example of mine. If for example the ratio of yes votes to no votes was 8 to 5, and the question requires you to calculate how many yes votes were there as indicated in your question, then the first step would be to find the total number of both sides of the ratio. That is add 8 to 5 which gives you 13. This means if there was a total of 13 votes cast, every yes vote stands for 8 out of 13 votes and every no vote stands for 5 out of 13 votes.

To express it mathematically, every yes vote would be 8/13 of the total (12779) and every no vote would be 5/13 of the total (12779).

Therefore to determine how many yes votes there was, is calculated as follows;

Let yes votes be y and no votes be x'

y = (8/13) * 12779

y = 102232/13

y = 7864

<em>Based on my example that the ratio of yes votes to no votes is 8 to 5, </em>

Then the number of yes votes was 7,864.

A projectile is fired into the air with an initial vertical velocity of 160 ft/sec from ground level. How many seconds later doe
djverab [1.8K]

The maximum height of the projectile is the maximum point that can be gotten from the projectile equation

The projectile reaches the maximum height after 5 seconds

The function is given as:

\mathbf{h(t) = -16t^2 + 160t}

Differentiate the function with respect to t

\mathbf{h'(t) = -32t + 160}

Set to 0

\mathbf{h'(t) = -32t + 160 = 0}

So, we have:

\mathbf{-32t + 160 = 0}

Collect like terms

\mathbf{-32t =- 160 + 0}

\mathbf{-32t =- 160}

Solve for t

\mathbf{t = \frac{- 160}{-32}}

\mathbf{t = 5}

Hence, the projectile reaches the maximum after 5 seconds

State if each pair of ratios forms a proportion....EXPLAIN AS WELL PLS!!!
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

1. 4/12 , 6/8

2. 16/12 , 3/4*

3. 3/2 , 15/14

4. 10/16 , 5/8

10/16 = 5/8

Which ratio forms a proportion with 9/15?

1. 6/10

2. 16/21

3. 36/50

4. 45/70

9/15 = 3/5 which is 6/10

A textbook weighs 2.5 pounds. How many kilograms does the textbook weighs? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a pound. 1 kg = 2.2 lb

1. 1.1 kg

2. 1.8 kg

3. 5.5 kg

4. 4.7 kg

2.5 lbs * (1 kg/2.2 lbs) =

Solve the proportion using number sense. 2/8 = x/ 48

1. 6

2. 12

3. 16

4. 8

8 * 6 = 48

so what is 2 times 6 ?

or another way

1/4 * 48 = 12

Solve the proportion using cross products. 18/20 = k/110

1. 99

2. 122

3. 3.3

4. 2.9

20 k = 18*110

2 k = 18 *11

k = 9 * 11

Are the ratios 8/12 and 10/25 proportional? Explain

8/12 = 2/3

10/15 = 2/3 so no way 10/25 is 2/3

A 10-acre field produced 750 bushels of corn. At the rate, how much corn can be produced from a 14-acre field?

Help gai I need help its a math
dem82 [27]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewriting in slope-intercept form.

x - 2y = 0

Add -x on both sides.

- 2y = 0 - x

Divide both sides by -2.

y = 0/-2 - x/-2

y = 0 - - 1/2x

y = 0 + 1/2x

y = 1/2x + 0

The slope is 1/2, the y-intercept is at (0, 0).
