A red balloon is 40 feet above the ground and rising at 2 feet per second. At the same time, a blue balloon is 60 feet above the

ground and falling at a rate of 3 feet per second. How long will it take for the two balloons to be the same height from the ground? Let s = the number of seconds since the balloons began moving.

Answer:

40+2s=60-3s

Step-by-step explanation:

The red balloon starts 40 feet off the ground and rises 2 feet per second. This means the height of the red ballon is 40+2s.

The blue balloon starts 60 feet off the ground at starts falling 3 feet per second. This means the height of the blue balloon is 60-3s.

Because we want to find out when the balloons will be the same height, we set them equal to each other.

40+2s=60-3s

The point (5 5/8, 2 1/4) lies on a line that represents a proportional relationship between two units of measure.
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

  a) k = 2/5

  b) y = 2/5x

  c) y = 2 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>a)</h3>

The proportional relation is described by the equation ...

  y = kx . . . . . . k is the constant of proportionality

The value of k can be found by dividing the equation by x:

  y/x = k = (2 1/4)/(5 5/8) = (9/4)/(45/8) = 18/45

  k = 2/5

__

<h3>b)</h3>

As above, the equation is ...

  y = kx

  y = 2/5x

__

<h3>c)</h3>

Using 6.5 for x, we have ...

  y = (2/5)(6.5) = 2.6 = 2 3/5

coach Park's car averages 33 miles per gallon of gasoline how many gallons of gas does he need for the trip? justify you answer
sladkih [1.3K]
Since we don't know the length of the trip, we can't find an exact answer. 

However, we can write an expression for it. First, we let, T, represent the total number of miles for the trip.

Now, just divide T by 33. So our expression is T/33.

If you know the total miles of the trip, just divide it by 33 and you will have the answer.
