Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you take 15, and divide it by the 3 out of the 3/8 left, you get 5. You then multiply 5 by 8 to get the full amount of candies she had before sharing, 40.

I hope this helped!

Thanks!

When a person is breathing normally the amount of air in their lawns varies sinusoidally. When full Karen’s lungs hold 2.8 L of

makkiz [27]

Answer:

$A(t) = 2.2\sin \frac{(t - 2)\pi }{6} + 0.6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the function of quantity in the lung of air be A(t)

So $A(t) \alpha \sin (\frac{t - \alpha }{k} )$

so, A(t) = Amax sin t + b

A(t) = 2.8t⇒ max

A(t) = 0.6t ⇒ min

max value of A(t) occur when sin(t) = 1

and min value of A(t) = 0

So b = 0.6

and A(max) = 2.2

$A(t) = 2.2\sin \frac{(t)}{k} + 0.6$

at t = 2 sec volume of a is 0.6

So function reduce to

$A(t) = 2.2\sin \frac{(t - 2)}{k} + 0.6$

and t = 5 max value of volume is represent

so,

$\sin \frac{t - \alpha }{k} = 1$

$\frac{t - 2}{k} = \frac{\pi }{2}$ when t = 5

$\frac{6}{\pi } = k$

so the equation becomes

$A(t) = 2.2\sin \frac{(t - 2)\pi }{6} + 0.6$

The ages of three siblings combined is 27. The oldest is twice the age of the youngest. The middle child is 3 years older than t

kondaur [170]

Answer:

the oldest sibling is 12 years old.

The middle child is 9 years old.

The youngest child is 6 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of the youngest child be x

Then the oldest child will be 2x.

The middle child will be x + 3.

Since the combined age is 27;

x + 2x + x + 3 = 27

4x = 27 - 3

x = 24 / 4

x = 6

now 2x = 12 and x + 3 = 9
