Answer:

elevation refers to the height of the balloon. Descent refers to moving down, and rate of descent refers to how quickly the balloon moved down.

  In this case, we have a descent of 2,125 feet (initial height of 5,439 - ending height of 3,314). Since it took 34 minutes for the balloon to descend this distance, we divide the descent by the time (2,125/34). This gives us a rate of 62.5 feet per minute.

  That means that the balloon traveled downward 62.5 feet every minute. That's a fast moving balloon!

Step-by-step explanation:

hopefully this helps

Karolina [17]
It's a half of an equilateral triangle because their angles measure 30° and 60° (an equilateral triangle has 3 angles of 60°)
So x=(2h/√3)/2=h√3=27√3≈15.6

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

0.033

Step-by-step explanation:

Use binomial probability:

P = nCr pʳ (1−p)ⁿ⁻ʳ

where n is the number of trials,

r is the number of successes,

p is the probability of success,

and q is the probability of failure (1-p).

Here, p = 0.5, q = 0.5, and n = 11.

We need to find P when r is 0, 1, and 2, then add up the results to get the total probability.

r = 0:

P = ₁₁C₀ (0.5)⁰ (0.5)¹¹⁻⁰

P ≈ 0.0005

r = 1:

P = ₁₁C₁ (0.5)¹ (0.5)¹¹⁻¹

P ≈ 0.0054

r = 2:

P = ₁₁C₂ (0.5)² (0.5)¹¹⁻²

P ≈ 0.0269

Therefore, the total probability is:

P = 0.0005 + 0.0054 + 0.0269

P = 0.0328

Round to the thousandths place, the probability is 0.033.

Steps in multiplying fractions. Remember: finding common denominator is not necessary in multiplying fractions. 
Common denominators are only needed in adding and subtracting fractions.

14/15 * 5/2 

Step 1. Multiply the numerators.
14 * 5 = 70
Step 2. Multiply the denominators
15 * 2 = 30
Step 3. Simplify the fraction.
70/30 = 2 10/30 = 2 1/3      

*the fraction 10/30 can still be simplified by dividing both numbers by 10. Hence, 1/3.

Steps in Dividing fractions.

24/60 ÷ 8/15

Step 1. Get the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction. Reciprocal means the reverse of the fraction. Simply swap the places of the numbers.

Reciprocal of 8/15 is 15/8.

Step 2. Multiply the 1st fraction to the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction. Follow steps in multiplying fractions.

24/60 * 15/8 = (24*15) / (60*8) = 360/480

Step 3. Simplify the fraction.
360/480 = 9 / 12 = 3/4

360 ÷ 40 =   9 ;   9 ÷ 3 = 3
480 ÷ 40 = 12 ; 12 ÷ 3 = 4
