Answer:

  • 3/8 bucket

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that 1/4 bucket of nuts fills 2/3 of the barrel

PART A

<u>To find the amount of nuts that fills entire basket we can put this as:</u>

  • 1/4 bucket → 2/3 barrel
  • x bucket → 1 barrel

<u>Use cross-multiplication to find the value of x:</u>

  • x×2/3 = 1×1/4
  • x = 1/4 ÷ 2/3
  • x = 1/4×3/2
  • x = 3/8 bucket

PART B

  • Using the bucket to barrel ratio to solve the problem. Having the number of required buckets as x and considering full barrel as 1 helps to find the value of x.

A space vehicle deploys its re-entry parachute when it's traveling at a vertical velocity of -150 meters/second (negative becaus
Arlecino [84]
The initial velocity is -150m/s.
Remember that:
V(t) = Vi + at, where v(t) is velocity at time t, Vi is initial velocity, and a is acceleration.
We know that the vehicle stopped after 30 seconds, so V(30) = 0.
Let's plug the useful info into our function and solve for a:
0 = -150 + a*30     Add 150 to both sides
150 = 30a             Divide both sides by 30
a = 5 m/s²
The average acceleration is 5 meters per second squared.

A regular octagon rotates 360° about its center. How many times does the image of the octagon coincide with the preimage during
ycow [4]
Given that the octagon rotates 360 degrees, it is a given that for every regular division of the polygon (360/8 = 45 degrees), the image would coincide with the pre-image during the rotation. Therefore, the octagon would coincide a total of 8 times as it rotates 360 degrees about its center.
