Answer: 102 foot / feet tall

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we have to find the unit rate . . . what is 24 divided by 20 ? 1.2/1

Second, multiply . . . what is 1.2 x 85 ? 102

( sorry if this is wrong - I forgot how to do the second part for a sec )

A pet store has 8 ​puppies, including 3 ​poodles, 2 ​terriers, and 3 retrievers. If Rebecka selects one puppy at​ random, the pe
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

9 / 64

Step-by-step explanation:

- In this task you have 2 events and you are looking for a joint probability. The first event is "Rebecca chooses a poodle". The probability of this event is:

                    P ( Rebecca chooses a poodle ) = 3 / 8

- because among 8 dogs there are 3 poodles.

- The second event is "Aaron selects a poodle".

This event has a probability of  that is equivalent to previous selection:

                   P ( Aaron chooses a poodle ) = 3 / 8

- Because after Rebecca's choice the chosen poodle is replaced with the poodle; hence, there are 8 pets in total and among them there are 3 poodles.

- To calculate probability of both events ("Rebeca selects a poodle and Aaron selects a poodle") with replacement you have to multiply both calculated probabilities - condition of independent events :

     P ( Aaron and Rebecca both select poodle ) = 3 / 8 * 3 / 8

                                                                                = 9 / 64

Two drivers, Alison and Kevin, are participating in a drag race. Beginning from a standing start, they each proceed with a const
Vilka [71]

Answer:

Alison wins against Kevin by 0.93 s

Step-by-step explanation:

Alison covers the last 1/4 of the distance in 3 seconds, at a constant acceleration a_a, we have the following equation of motion

s/4 = a_at_a^2/2

where s (m) is the total distance, ta = 3 s is the time

s = 4a_a3^2/2 = 18a_a

a_a = s/18

Similarly, Kevin overs the last 1/3 of the distance in 4 seconds, at a constant acceleration a_k, we have the following equation of motion:

s/3 = a_kt_k^2/2

tk = 4 s is the time

s = 3a_k4^2/2 = 24a_k

a_k = s/24

Since a_a = s/18 we can conclude that a_a > a_k, so Alison would win.

The time it takes for Alison to cover the entire track

s = a_aT_a^2/2

T_a^2 = 2s/a_a = 2s/(s/18) = 36

T_a = \sqrt{36} = 6 s

The time it takes for Kevin to cover the entire track

s = a_kT_k^2/2

T_k^2 = 2s/a_k = 2s/(s/24) = 48

T_a = \sqrt{48} = 6.93 s

So Alison wins against Kevin by 6.93 - 6 = 0.93 s

Finding out how many events can someone attend with the cost of $36
Tcecarenko [31]
They're allowed to join for $15. And for every event, they have to pay $3.

3x = 21

x = 7

Someone who has $36 can attend 7 events.

I need help! I forgot how to do this!! Please help!
Dovator [93]

First change the mixed fraction into an improper fraction

7 1/2 = 15/2

Next, change multiply 2 to both numerator and denominator

15 x 2 = 30

2 x 2 = 4

30/4

Each piece needs 3/4 of an inch. Divide 30 with 3

30/3 = 10

c) 10 pieces is your answer

hope this helps
