Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

PERT estimate is a measuring strategy that is based on a weighted average. It is used in measuring the uncertainty and risk via three estimates to determine an estimated likelihood for a project's cost or period of completion.

The formula is (O + 4M + P) ÷ 6

Where P is the most pessimistic = 29

M is the most likely = 12

O is the most optimistic = 10

Hence we have (10 + [4*12]+ 29) ÷ 6

= (10 + 48 + 29) ÷ 6

= 87÷6 = 14.5 ≈ 15

Rounded figure is equal to 15.

Hence the final answer to the question is 15

The time, t, required to travel a fixed distance varies inversely as the
Lemur [1.5K]

You must travel at 42 mph for 4 hours

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Time varies inversely as rate of motion

Let "t" be the time required

Let "r" be the rate of motion

Then, we get

t \propto \frac{1}{r}\\\\t = k \times \frac{1}{r}\\\\t = \frac{k}{r} -------- eqn 1

Where, "k" is the constant of proportionality

<em><u>You travel 3 hours at a rate of 56 mph</u></em>

Substitute t = 3 and r = 56 in eqn 1

3 = \frac{k}{56}\\\\k = 3 \times 56\\\\k = 168

<em><u>Find the  rate you must travel for 4 hours</u></em>

r = ? and t = 4

Substitute t = 4 and k = 168 in eqn 1

4 = \frac{168}{r}\\\\r = \frac{168}{4}\\\\r = 42

Thus you must travel at 42 mph for 4 hours

harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

  4

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving for h(t) = 0, we find ...

  0 = -16t^2 +256

  0 = -t^2 +16 . . . . . . divide by 16

  t^2 = 16 . . . . . . . . . .add t^2

  t = 4 . . . . . . . . . . . . .positive square root

The ball hits the ground after 4 seconds.

Round 157 to the nearest ten
Arturiano [62]
If the number you are rounding is followed by 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9, round the number up (+1).


If the number you are rounding is followed by 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4, round the number down (no change).
