Given :
Sunflower produce approximately 50 seeds per flower.
If one ounce of sunflower seeds contain an average of 72 seeds.
To Find :
How many flowers are needed to produce 2 pounds of seeds.
Solution :
1 pound = 16 ounces .
So , 2 pound = 32 ounces .
Number of seeds in 2 pounds of seeds, n = 32×72 = 2304 .
Number of flowers are :
So , approximate number of flower required are 46.
Hence, this is the required solution.
The rock will hit the ground at 2 seconds.
Explanation:
Given that the height, h, in feet of a rock above the ground is given by the equation , where t is the time in seconds after the rock is thrown.
We need to determine the time at which the rock will hit the ground.
To determine the time, let us equate the height h = 0 in the equation , we get,
Switch sides, we have,
Let us solve the equation using the quadratic formula.
Thus, we have,
Simplifying, we get,
Hence, the two values of t are
and
Simplifying the values, we get,
and
Dividing, we get,
and
Since, t cannot negative values, we have,
Thus, the rock will hit the ground at 2 seconds.
