Answer:

60 maths books

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Let the following be:</u>

  • Maths books = m
  • Science books = s
  • History books = h

<u>And we have ratios and sum:</u>

  • m/s = 3/2
  • s/h = 1/3
  • m+s+h = 220

<u>From the ratios we get:</u>

  • m = 3s/2
  • h= 3s

<u>Considering the above in the sum of books:</u>

  • m+s+h = 220
  • 3s/2 + s + 3s = 220
  • 3s + 2s + 6s = 2*220
  • 11s = 440
  • s = 440/11
  • s = 40

<u>Number of maths books:</u>

  • m = 3s/2 = 3*40/2 = 60

Miriam reduced a square photo by cutting 3 inches away from the length and the width so it will fit in her photo album. The area
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

11 inches by 11 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimensions of the original photo were 11 inches by 11 inches.

We are informed that the area of the reduced photo is 64 square inches and that In the equation (x – 3)^2 = 64, x represents the side measure of the original photo.

In order to solve for x, we shall first take square roots on both sides of the equation;

The square root of (x – 3)^2 is simply (x - 3).

The square root of 64 is ±8 but we ignore -8 since the dimensions of any figure must be positive.

Therefore, we have the following equation;

x - 3 = 8

x = 8 + 3

x = 11

muminat
We know that
point A(1,1) C(3,5)
point D(-2,-4) F(0,0)

step 1
find the slope FD
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)------> m=(0+4)/(0+2)----> m=4/2----> m=2

step 2
find the slope AC
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)------> m=(5-1)/(3-1)----> m=4/2-----> m=2

mAC=mFD

the answer is
the slope FD is 2

To estimate the height of a building, a stone is dropped from the top of the building into a pool of water at ground level. The
kupik [55]

Answer:

The height of the building is 153.664 meter.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided function.

s(t) = 4.9t^2 + v_0 t + s_0

Here t represents the time v₀ represents the initial velocity, s₀ represents the initial height and s(t) represents the height after t seconds.

It is given that the splash is seen 5.6 seconds after the stone is dropped.

That means after 5.6 seconds height s(t) = 0, Also the initial velocity of the stone is 0.

Substitute respective values in the above function.

0 = 4.9(5.6)^2 +5.6(0)+ s_0

0 = 4.9(31.36)+ s_0

s_0=-153.664

As height can't be a negative number so the value of s₀ is 153.664.

Hence, the height of the building is 153.664 meter.
