4 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

i don't see options to select from but my guess would be 8 because 7/8 is very close to being one and 8 1/10 is close to 8; 8 x 1 = 8

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

2967 yes votes

Step-by-step explanation:

Welcome to Brainly!

One way of doing this problem follows:

Find the ratio, r, mentioned in the problem statement. To do this,

write the equation 3r + 5r = 7912 and solve this for r:

8r = 7912, so that r = 989.

Then the number of yes votes was 3(989), or 2967, and the number of no votes was 5(989), or 4947.

check: Does the ratio 2967/4947 equal 3/5? yes.

There were 2967 yes votes.

ALEGBRA 1 ! help. me. please. this. is. so. hard. i dont. understand it.

ANEK [815]

Answer:

Part a) to find the maximum height of the snowball, you have to differentiate the function. Therefore you get ----> dh/dt= -32x-8 . Now equate this to zero and solve for x. x= (-1)/4 now sub this value in to find h(x) [note: i'm talking about the original function] . I got h max = h((-1)/4) = 9 which is the max height.

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm not too sure about the other questions. Sorry

For what value of a should you solve the system of elimination?

SIZIF [17.4K]

$\begin{bmatrix}3x+5y=10\\ 2x+ay=4\end{bmatrix}$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:}3x+5y=10\mathrm{\:by\:}2: 6x+10y=20$
$\mathrm{Multiply\:}2x+ay=4\mathrm{\:by\:}3: 3ay+6x=12$

$\begin{bmatrix}6x+10y=20\\ 6x+3ay=12\end{bmatrix}$

There are 4 white and 5 red (indistinguishable) balls in a bag. Suppose you draw one ballout at a time without replacement and s

Alchen [17]

Answer:

5/9

Step-by-step explanation:

What we have in this question are four white balls and 5 red balls.

This is the sample space

[(4w,0R) (4w,1R)(4w,2R)(4w,3R)(4w,4R)(0w,5R)(1w,5R)(2w,5R)

So we have 9 possible sets of events

The event number with the last ball being white = 5

Probability of the last ball drawn being white = 5/9

= 0.56
