Answer:

5 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

H= -16t2 + 400

Hit ground

H=0

0 = -16t2 + 400

0 = -16 ( t2 - 25)

-16

t2 -25 = 0

(t + 5)(t - 5) = 0

t + 5 = 0

- 5 -5

t = -5

t - 5 = 0

+ 5 +5

t = -5

t = 5

5 seconds to hit the ground

What is ; 3 3/4 - 2 1/5 thanks!
kari74 [83]

Answer:1 11/20 (I think)

Step-by-step explanation: First subtracting 3 - 2 gets you 1. so we keep that aside and do fractions. first, what do 4 and 5 have in common? They both can be turned to 20. 3/4 can be multiplied to 20 4x5(20) so we do 3x5=15 now you have 15/20. Hope this makes sense. now we do 1/5 to ?/20 5x4=20 1x4=4 so 15/20-4/20=11/20 11/20+1= 1 11/20

-Sorry if its too complicated

(undo ur answer if u trusted me before bc I messed up)
