Answer:

12, 6 and 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

Number of medals = 48 medals

The given ratio is = 2:1:5

The total ratio is = 2+1+5= 8

Step two;

Applying the part to all method

for Gold we have

2/8=x//48

cross multiply

8x= 48*2

divide both sides by 8

x= 96/8

x= 12

gold is 12

for silver we have

1/8=x//48

cross multiply

8x= 48*1

divide both sides by 8

x= 48/8

x= 6

silver is 6

for bronze we have

5/8=x/48

cross multiply

8x= 48*5

divide both sides by 8

x= 240/8

x= 30

Bronze  is 30

A boulder falls off the top of a cliff during a storm. The cliff is 90 feet high.
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

It will take the boulder approximately 4.28 seconds to hit the road

Step-by-step explanation:

The given height of the cliff from which the boulder falls, h = 90 feet

The equation that can be used to find the time it takes the boulder to fall is h = u·t + (1/2)·g·t²

Where;

h = The height of the cliff = 90 ft.

u = The initial velocity of the boulder = 0 m/s (The boulder is assumed to be at rest when it falls)

g - The acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.81 m/s²

t = How long it will take for the boulder to hit the road below

Plugging in the values gives;

90 = 0 × t + (1/2)×9.81×t² = 4.905·t²

∴ t = √(90/4.905) ≈ 4.28

The time it takes the boulder to hit the road, t ≈ 4.28 seconds.

What is the probability of the spinner landing on 2? A spinner is split into 4 equal parts labeled 1, 2, 3, and 4. StartFraction
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

The probability of the spinner landing on 2 is one fourth.

Step-by-step explanation:

The spinner is split into 4 equal parts labeled 1, 2, 3, 4

The probability of the spinner landing on 2 is given as:

(Possibility of it landing on 2) ÷ (Total possible outcome)

The total possible outcome is 4, because the spinner could land on 1, or 2, or 3, or 4.

It can only land on 2 once, so the possibility of it landing on 2 is 1.

Probability = 1/4
