Answer:

<em>33.75 red counters</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the ratio of the  red counters to  blue counters as 5:4. The total ratio will be 5 + 4 = 9

If there are 27 blue counters in the bag, the total amount of counters there will be gotten using the expression;

4/9 * x = 27

x is the total counter in the bag.

4x/9 = 27

4x = 9*27

x = (9*27)/4

x = 60.75

The amount of red counters there will be

red counters = Total - blue counter

red counter = 60.75 - 27

<em>red counter = 33.75 red counters</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial image of the photo is 2 in by 4 in.  The mat is 4 in by 6 in.

The new image is dilated by a scale of 2.  So we double the dimensions.  The new photo is 4 in by 8 in.  The new mat is 8 in by 12 in.

Suppose an astronaut can jump vertically with an initial velocity of 5 m/s. The time that it takes him to touch the ground is gi
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

t=1.020s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Equation:

5t-0.5at^{2} =0

Actually the given equation is the 2nd equation of motion

i.e. S =V_{i} t+0.5at^{2}

where S=0 because the astronaut jumps on the earth

and initial velocity V_{i}=5

to find time t, put the given value of a=9.8m/s^{2} in the given equation, we get

5t-0.5(9.8)t^{2} =0\\t(5-4.9t)=0\\ \ dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ t\ we \ get\\ 5-4.9t=0\\4.9t=5\\t=\frac{5}{4.9}\\ t=1.020s

it will take t=1.020s to reach the ground if he jumps on the Earth
