Answer:

195

Step-by-step explanation:

Let wining name have, x votes

1st = x

2nd = x - 53

3rd = x - 79

4th = x - 105

x + (x - 53) + (x - 79) + (x - 105) = 963

x + x - 53 + x - 79 + x - 105 = 963

4x - 237 = 963

4x = 963 + 237

4x = 1200

x = 1200 / 4

x = 300

4th = x - 105

x - 105 = 300 - 105 = 195

Mumz [18]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A man steps out of a plane at 4,000m of height above the ground.The point at which he jumps out of the plane would make a good reference point. However, if his acceleration is going to change as a result of him opening his parachute 2000m above the ground, a good reference point would be there. Keep in mind though, that his velocity at that instant would need to be known for it to be useful- otherwise the airplane reference point would be just as good with appropriate modeling....
