H=0
Therefore:
144t-16t²=0
t (144-16t)=0
We have two equations:
1)
t=0 (when the ball is released)
2)
144-16t=0
-16t=-144
t=-144 / -16=9 (this is the time )
Answer: the ball hit the ground in 9 s.
Answer:
100 girls
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of boys : girls is 2 : 5.
In other words, boys are 2 parts of the school while girls are 5 parts of the school.
Since there are 40 boys, 2 parts of the school is 40. Thus:

1 part is 20.
Since there are 5 parts girls, there are

100 girls.
Answer: 100 girls
