Step-by-step explanation:

20 1/2 = (20×2 + 1)/2 = 41/2.

to create 1/6 of that we have to multiply it by 1/6 :

41/2 × 1/6 = 41/12 = 3 5/12

the rock weighed 3 5/12 lb.

What is 0.08333333333 as a fraction????

katovenus [111]

Answer: So the answer is 083/1000! Hope this helped!!!!!

Step-by-step explanation:

There is not much that can be done to figure out how to write .083 as a fraction, except to literally use what the decimal portion of your number, the .083, means. Since there are 3 digits in 083, the very last digit is the "1000th" decimal place. So we can just say that .083 is the same as 083/1000.

A quarter falls off a building that is 144

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

3 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial height = 144 feet

t = Time taken

The equation of the height from the ground is

$h(t)=-16t^2+\text{Initial height}$

The time taken to reach the ground is needed. Here the ground is taken as reference so $h(t)=0$

$0=-16t^2+144\\\Rightarrow -144=-16t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\dfrac{144}{16}}\\\Rightarrow t=3\ \text{s}$

So, time taken by the quarter to reach the ground is 3 seconds.
