If the ratio of red marbles to blue marbles in a jar is 3 to 8, the meaning is for every 3 red marbles there are 8 blue marbles.
3 red marbles------------------8 blue marbles.
ratio=3/8
we have 40 blue marbles; we have to compute the number of red marbles.
1) Method 1; by the rule three.
3 red marbles-----------------8 blue marbles
x----------------------------------40 blue marbles
x=(3 red marbles * 40 blue marbles) / 8 blue marbles=15 red marbles.
answer: B. 15
Method 2: the ratio of red marbles to blue marbles is
ratio=number of red marbles / number of blue marbles
ratio=3/8
if we want to compute the number of red marbles we have to multiply the number of blue marbles by this ratio.
number of red marbles=ratio (red/blue)* number of blue marbles
number of red marbles=(3/8)*40=15
Answer: B.15
Answer: x = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
Starting:
x-5(x+1)=3x+2
Simplify the left side:
-4x-5=3x+2
Move all the terms with an x to the left:
-7x-5=2
Move all the terms without an x to the right:
-7x=7
Divide both sides by -7:
x = -1
Here we're applying a basic physics rule for vertical motion where the only pull on the object is gravity.
This rule has the form
h(t) = h + v t + (1/2)a*t^2
o o
To adapt this rule to this particular question replace h with 0, as the
o
upward path of the object begins at 0 ft. Replace v with +15 ft/sec.
o
Replace "a" with (-32.2 ft/(sec^2); this is the acceleration due to gravity.
Then we have the following, with the label F(t):
F(t) = 0 + (15 ft/sec)t + (1/2)(-32.2 ft)/(sec^2), or
F(t) = 15t - 16.1t^2. Thus, Choice D is correct.
Please note: To avoid confusion, please use " ^ " to denote exponentiation:
F(t) = -16t^2 + 15t
