Answer:

8 books

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to find the ratio between 6 and 9

6/9 = 2/3

The ratio is 2/3

Now for James's case his denominator would be 12

x/12

To find the numerator you need to multiply the denominator by 2/3

12 * 2/3 = 8

There you go, the numerator is your answer

8 books and 12 pencils

Hope this helps :)

An object is thrown upward from the top of a 192 ft building with an initial velocity of 64 feet
Airida [17]

Answer:

t=6

Step-by-step explanation:

ground height = 0

(are you sure your formula is correct? isn't it - 16t²?)

if h=16t² +64t+192 is true then

16t² +64t+192 = 0

t² + 4t + 12 = 0

t = (-4 ± √(4² - 4*12)) / 2*1 = (-4 ± √-32) / 2 = -2 ± 2√-2

There is no solution of t

if it is h= - 16t² +64t+192

0 =- 16t² + 64t + 192

t² - 4t - 12 = 0

(t + 2) (t -6) = 0

t should be positive

t = 6 sec

(25 + 19) + 15 = (19 + 25) + 15<br><br><br> What property is that equation
malfutka [58]

Answer:

Commutative Property

Step-by-step explanation:

It looks like Associative property which is when you change the GROUP, but actually it’s commutative because it didn’t change any numbers in the group, just the order of where they were.

Associative: (25 + 19) + 15 = (15 + 19) + 25

Commutative: (25 + 19) + 15 = (19 + 25) + 15

It didn’t change the numbers, only the order. Therefore, it would be commutative property
