Answer:

25 ; 35

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

____________For __ Against __ No Opinion

21-40 years _________20 _______5

41-60 years ___20 ______________20

Over 60 years _55____ 15________ 5

Given that :

40% of 21-40 are against

Then :

40% = 20

To a obtain 100% of 21 - 40

40% = 20

100% = x

Cross multiply

0.4x = 20

x = 20/0.4

x = 50

100% of 21 - 40 = 50 people

For = 50 - (20 + 5)

= 50 - 25

= 25

2.)

Total who have no opinion :

(5 + 20 + 5) = 30

30 = 15%

Total number surveyed will be , x :

30 = 15%

x = 100%

Cross multiply :

0.15x = 30

x = 30/0.15

x = 200

Number of 41 - 60 against an increase, y:

(25 + 20 + 5 + 20 + y + 20 + 55 + 15 + 5) = 200

165 + y = 200

y = 200 - 165

y = 35

The triangles are congruent by SAS, so the two angles with 7x and 3x+16 are equal. So

7x=3x+16
4x=16
x=4

So KJL=7(4)=28.

Help please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
marshall27 [118]

Step-by-step explanation:

as in the other problem, the table describes mutually exclusive attributes.

so, we can simply sum the numbers up to get the total number of students :

3+9+2+16 = 30 students.

so, when picking a random student, we have 30 possibilities.

now, how many of those 30 have the desired attributes (to have a brother AND a sister) ?

I see 3 in the table.

so, the probability to pick a student that has a brother and a sister is

3/30 = 1/10 = 0.1

If an object is projected upward from ground level with an initial velocity of 128 ft per sec, then it's height in feet after t
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer: t= 4 seconds

Maximum height = 256 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the object projected upwards after t seconds is given by

s(t)=-16t^2+128t.

The expression is a quadratic equation. When this equation is plotted on a graph, height against time, it takes the shape of a parabola whose vertex represents the maximum height attained by the object.

To get the value of t at the maximum height,

t = -b/2a

From the equation,

a = -16

b = 128

t = -128/-2×-16

= -128 /- 32= 4

it will take 4 seconds to reach its maximum height

To find maximum height attained, put t= 4 in the equation

s(t)=-16t^2+128t

S = -16× 4^2 + 128×4

S = -256+512

S = 256 feet
