The probability is 1/2 because he has an even amount of both colored pens so there are 50% blue and 50% red the odds are like flipping a coin in the air. There is a 50% chance that it will land on either heads or tails in other words 50/100 which is also 1/2 same thing applies with the pens.

An observation deck extends 120 feet out above a valley. The deck sits 70 feet above the valley floor. If an object is dropped f

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The height formula given is:

h = -16t^2 + 70

That means the object will be initially (t=0) at the height 70 feet, from where it will be dropped.

If we want to know the time when the object will be at height 6 feet, we just need to use h=6 in the equation, and then calculate the value of t:

6 = -16t^2 + 70

16t^2 = 64

t^2 =4

t = 2 s

So, it will take 2 seconds for the object to be 6 feet above the valley floor.

The combustion of one gallon of automobile fuel produces about 5 pounds of carbon (in CO₂). Two autos are making a trip of 600 m

rewona [7]

Answer:

Approximately 50 pounds less carbon (in CO₂) will be produced by the second auto on this trip.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the combustion of one gallon of automobile fuel produces about 5 pounds of carbon (in CO₂). Two autos are making a trip of 600 miles.

Let us find amount of fuel used by autos by dividing the total distance by their mileage.

$\text{Fuel used by 1st auto}=\frac{\text{ 600 miles}}{\frac{\text{ 20 miles}}{\text{gallon}}}$

$\text{Fuel used by 1st auto}=\frac{\text{ 600 miles}}{\text{ 20 miles}}\times \text{gallon}$

$\text{Fuel used by 1st auto}=30 \text{ gallons}$

$\text{Fuel used by 2nd auto}=\frac{\text{ 600 miles}}{\frac{\text{ 30 miles}}{\text{gallon}}}$

$\text{Fuel used by 2nd auto}=\frac{\text{ 600 miles}}{\text{ 30 miles}}\times \text{gallon}$

$\text{Fuel used by 2nd auto}=20 \text{ gallons}$

Let us find the difference of fuel used by both autos.

$\text{Number of gallons that 2nd auto used less than 1st auto}=30-20$

$\text{Number of gallons that 2nd auto used less than 1st auto}=10$

Since one gallon of automobile fuel produces about 5 pounds of carbon, so 10 gallons of fuel will produces $5\times 10=50$ pounds of carbon.

Since 2nd auto used 10 gallons less than 1st auto, therefore, 2nd auto will produce 50 pounds less carbon than 1st auto.
