225-275 and then you just have to simplify which turns out to be 9-11 minutes so for every 9 minutes Sylvia works Paul works 11

Answer: 9 / 11

That is approximately 0.82


Explanation:

The ratio of two quantities x and y is x divided by y, i.e. the quotient x / y.

So, the ratio of Sylia's work time to Paul's work time is:

Sylvia's work time
---------------------------
Paul's work time

Given that you have the times in mixed units, hours and minutes, you must convert to one of the, either hours or minutes.

If you choose to work with hours, this is the work:

1) Silvia's time: 3 hours and 45 minutes = 3 hours + 45 / 60 hours = 3hours + 0.75 hours = 3.75 hours

2) Paul's work time: 4 hours and 35 minutes = 4 hours + 35/60 hours = 4 hours + 7/12 hours = (48+7)/12 = 55/12 hours ≈ 4.58 hours

3) Ratio:

Sylvia's work time             3.75 hours            3.75*12         45          9
------------------------- =      --------------------- = ---------------- =  -------- =   -----
Paul's work time               (55/12) hours            55              55         11

≈ 0.82

You can calculate the ratio using minutes and shall obtain the same result. Look:

1) 3 hours + 45 minutes = 3 * 60  minutes + 45 minutes = 180 minutes + 45 minutes = 225 minutes

2) 4 hours + 35 minutes = 4*60 minutes + 35 minutes = 240 minutes + 35 minutes = 275 minutes

3)

225 minutes          9
----------------- =     ------, which is the same result obtained above.
275 minutes         11

the empire state building is 1250 feet tall. IF an object is thrown upward from the top of the building at an initial velocity o
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

Time for the object to get h(max)    s = 1.1875 sec

h (max)  = 1272.57 feet

Down time for the object to hit the ground   =  4.25 sec

Step-by-step explanation:

The relation

h(s)  =  -  16*s²  +  38* s  + 1250    (1)

Is equivalent to the equation for vertical shot

Δh = V(i)*t  -  1/2g*t²  (in this case we don´t have independent term since the shot is from ground level. We can see in (1), the independent term is 1250 feet ( the height of the empire state building), the starting point of the movement.

The description of the movement is:

V(s)  =  V(i)  - g*s     ⇒  V(s) = 38 - 32*s

At h(max)    V(s)  =  0      38/32  = s

So the maximum height is at  s = t = 1.1875 sec

The time for the object to pass for starting point is the same

t  =  1.1875 sec

h(max) is

h(max)  = - 16* (1.1875)² +  38 (1.1875) + 1250

h(max)  =  -  22,56  +  45.13  +  1250

h(max)  =  1272.57 feet

Time for the object to hit the ground is

h(s)  =  - 1250 feet

-1250  =  - 16 s² + 38*s  + 1250

-16s² +  38s  =  0

s ( -16s + 38 )  =  0

First solution for that second degree equation  is x = 0 which we dismiss

then  

( -16s + 38 )  =  0    ⇒ 16s   =  38     s  =  38/16

s =  2.375 sec    and  we have to add time between h (max) and to get to starting point  ( 1. 1875 sec)

total time is  = 2.375 + 1.875

Total time  =  4.25 sec

factor completely 4x5 − 20x4 − 36x3. 4(x5 − 5x4 − 9x3) x3(4x2 − 20x − 36) x2 − 5x − 9 4x3(x2 − 5x − 9)
Mila [183]

Consider the polynomial 4x^5 - 20x^4 - 36x^3. It has three terms and their greatest common factor is 4x^3.

Since

4x^5=4x^3\cdot x^2,\\20x^4=4x^3\cdot 5x,\\36x^3=4x^3\cdot 9,

then

4x^5 - 20x^4 - 36x^3=4x^3(x^2-5x-9) (you write in brackets the same sign as the corresponding term has).

Answer: correct choice is D.
