Answer:
t/r = 5/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Every proportion can be written 4 ways. I like to think of them as "upside down and sideways." They are ...
__
Knowing this, you can simply rewrite your proportion as ...
t/r = 30/18
t/r = 5/3
_____
More formally, you could multiply both sides by t/18:
(30/t)(t/18) = (18/r)(t/18)
30/18 = t/r . . . . as above
Reducing the fraction gives ...
t/r = 5/3
__
<em>Additional comments</em>
The usually-recommended procedure for solving something like this is to "cross-multiply" as a first step. That will give ...
30r = 18t
Of course, that is equivalent to multiplying both sides by rt, the product of the denominators.
From here, to get t/r, you need to divide both sides by 18r.
(30r)/(18r) = (18t)/(18r)
30/18 = t/r
The combination of the two steps, multiply by rt, divide by 18r, is equivalent to multiplying by (rt)/(18r) = t/18, as we did above. That is, you can save some work by doing both steps at once--or by simply rewriting the proportion.

Answer:
The first listed equation is the correct equation to solve
The correct answer is: t = 5 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
Let me mention first that there is an error in the statement that the gravitational pull of the Earth is 16 ft/s^2. It is in fact 32 ft/s^2, and the actual equation uses half of the acceleration multiplied by the square of the variable time, so it gives as final expression :
and we want to find the value/s for "t" that make this equation equal zero (when it reaches the ground and the object just touches the ground. This makes the equation we want to solve:
which solving for "t" becomes:
So we adopt the positive answer (positive time) since the negative value has no physical meaning for this problem.
That is: t = 5 seconds
