A father left 280 acres of land to be divided among his sons Al and Bob in the ratio 4:3, respectively. How many acres should Al

receive?
Mathematics
1 answer:
BartSMP [9]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

160 acres

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Total Amount of land= 280 Acres

Ratio=4:3

Total part = 4+3= 7

Applying the part to all method

let AI receive x acres

Then

4/7= x/280

cross multiply

7x= 280*4

7x=1120

x= 1120/7

x= 160

Hence AI will receive 160 acres

I don't even know how to figure this out. I don't have a formula for this
yuradex [85]

Answer:

\sin\theta=\dfrac{15}{17}

?=15

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the trigonometry formula

\cos^2\theta+\sin^2\theta=1

You are given that

\cos \theta=\dfrac{8}{17}

Substitute into the first formula

\left(\dfrac{8}{17}\right)^2+\sin^2\theta=1\\ \\\dfrac{64}{289}+\sin^2\theta=1\\ \\\sin^2\theta=1-\dfrac{64}{289}=\dfrac{289-64}{289}=\dfrac{225}{289}\\ \\\sin \theta=\pm \dfrac{15}{17}

Angle \theta is acute angle, then the sine of this angle is positive and

\sin\theta=\dfrac{15}{17}

The function h(t) = -16t^2 + 16t represents the height (in feet) of a horse (t) seconds after it jumps during a steeplechase.
Vladimir79 [104]
A.) To find the maximum height, we can take the derivative of h(t). This will give us the rate at which the horse jumps (velocity) at time t.

h'(t) = -32t + 16

When the horse reaches its maximum height, its position on h(t) will be at the top of the parabola. The slope at this point will be zero because the line tangent to the peak of a parabola is a horizontal line. By setting h'(t) equal to 0, we can find the critical numbers which will be the maximum and minimum t values.

-32t + 16 = 0

-32t = -16

t = 0.5 seconds

b.) To find out if the horse can clear a fence that is 3.5 feet tall, we can plug 0.5 in for t in h(t) and solve for the maximum height.

h(0.5) = -16(0.5)^2 + 16(-0.5) = 4 feet

If 4 is the maximum height the horse can jump, then yes, it can clear a 3.5 foot tall fence.

c.) We know that the horse is in the air whenever h(t) is greater than 0. 

-16t^2 + 16t = 0

-16t(t-1)=0

t = 0 and 1

So if the horse is on the ground at t = 0 and t = 1, then we know it was in the air for 1 second.

You have just timed a person doing a hair cut for the first time. It took 50 minutes. What unit improvement factor learning curv
Sladkaya [172]

Answer: C. 70 percent

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, Time for the first unit = 50 minutes

Time for the second unit = 35 minutes

The unit improvement factor learning curve = (The time for the second unit) ÷ (time for the first unit) x 100.

So, The unit improvement factor learning curve  = 35÷ 50 × 100 = 70 percent.

Hence, the correct option is "C. 70 percent".
