Answer:

They have 20 big cats total. 8 lions, and 12 tigers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:

It says for every 2 lions, there are 3 tigers. There are 4 sets of 3 tigers, meaning there must be 4 sets of 2 lions. 4 times 2 equals 8. Therefore, there are 8 lions. The question asks how many big cats there are total, so we add lions and tigers together. 12 plus 8 equals 20. Therefore, your answer is 20.

A book falls from a shelf that is 5 feet above the floor. A model for the height h in feet if an object dropped from an initial
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

About 0.559 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The height equation is:

h=-16t^2+h_0

Where h_0 is the initial height of the book, which is 5, so we can write:

h=-16t^2+5

Now, we want time it took for the book to reach ground (h = 0)

So, we substitute h = 0 and solve for t:

h=-16t^2+5\\0=-16t^2+5\\16t^2=5\\t^2=0.3125\\t=0.5590\\t=0.559

It took about 0.559 seconds for the book to reach the ground
