When the balloon is on the ground, it is at point 0. It starts to go up at 5 f/m for a time of 4 minutes. So we will multiply 5 by 4 to get 20. At this point, the balloon is 20 feet off the ground. However, we now know that the balloon descends at 2 f/m at a time of 7 minutes. So we must multiply 2 by 7 to get 14. So we know it was at 20, and then it went down by 14.
20 - 14 = 6 feet
This means that the balloon is now 6 feet above the ground.
I hope I've helped! :)
The linear equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts. This is the right answer because you can see the x coefficient for both equations is -5 but 1 and 10 are not the same and they are y-intercepts. These two are parallel so they will never meet.
Isn't this a subtraction problem, not a multiplication problem?
If John starts out with 20 fish and lets 6 go, he still has (20-6), or 14, fish.
Answer: 7/24
Step-by-step explanation:
Fraction of the items barbecued that are veggie burgers = 3/8
Fraction of the items barbecued that are corn cobs = 1/3
The fraction of the items barbecued that are mushrooms caps will be:
= 1 - (3/8 + 1/3)
The lowest common multiple of 8 and 3 is 24.
= 1 - (3/8 + 1/3)
= 1 - [(3/8 × 24) + [(1/3 × 24)]
= 1 - (9/24 + 8/24)
= 1 - 17/24
= 7/24
Whats the acctual question
