The whole second is the first number to the left of the decimal (_.), so : 35.78=36 because 7>5. 39.51=40 because 5=5. 40-36=4. Bailey won the race by about 4 seconds. Hoped I helped!
To solve this we are going to use the formula fro the force applied to a spring:

where

is the spring constant

is the extension
Since we know the

, we can replace that in our formula and solve for

:


where

is the acceleration

is the spring constant

is the extension

is the mass
We know for our problem that

,

, and

. So lets replace those values in our formula to find

:



We can conclude that the acceleration of the block when s=0.4m is

.
Answer:
Joint variation says that:
if
and 
then the equation is in the form of:
, where, k is the constant of variation.
As per the statement:
If x varies jointly as y and z
then by definition we have;
......[1]
Solve for k;
when x = 8 , y=4 and z=9
then
Substitute these in [1] we have;

⇒
Divide both sides by 36 we have;

Simplify:

⇒
to find z when x = 16 and y = 6
Substitute these value we have;

⇒
Multiply both sides by 9 we have;

Divide both sides by 12 we have;
12 = z
or
z = 12
Therefore, the value of z is, 12
<span>Let x = # of rides
Plan A: 10 + 3x
Plan B: 20 + x
if x < 5 rides then plan A is better buy
if x = 5 both plans are the same
if x > 5 then plan B is the best buy
Prove:
x = 6 (rides)
plan A: </span>10 + 3x = 10 + 3(6) = 10+18 = $28
plan B: 20 + x = 20 + 6 = $26
