Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Change the 2/3 to 4/6

Now the ratio becomes 3:4:6

So the number of each is

3x + 4x + 6x = 520

13x = 520

x = 40

Red = 3*40 = 120

Yellow = 4*40 = 160

Blue = 6 * 40 = 240

Total = 520

OlgaM077 [116]

By definition the area of a rectangle is:
A = l * w
Where,
l: long
w: width
So we have to clear the width:
w = A / l
Substituting the values:
w = (234) / (18) = 13
w = 13 feets
answer
the width, in feet, of the room is 13

Bill, George, and Ross, in order, roll a die. The first one to roll an even number wins and the game is ended. What is the proba

hram777 [196]

Answer: $0.5714\frac{1}{15}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Bill, George, and Ross, in order, roll a die.

The first one to roll an even number wins and the game is ended.

Since Bill starts the game he can win by throwing even number or lose by throwing odd number

P(win) = 0.5, otherwise, the die will go to George. For Bill to win, both George and Ross should throw an odd number so that Bill again gets the chance with game non ending.

Thus we have Prob of Bill winning =P of Bill winning in I throw +P of Bill winning in his II chance of throw +....infinitely

To get back the dice once he loses probability

= p both throws odd = $0.5(0.5) = 0.25$

Thus Prob for Bill winning

= $0.5+0.25(0.5)^2+0.25(0.5)^3(0.25)+...$

This is an infinite geometric series with I term 0.5 and common ratio 0.125<1

Sum = $\frac{a}{1-r} =\frac{0.5}{1-0.125} =0.5714$

Ben and Josh went to the roof of their 40-foot tall high school to throw their math books offthe edge.The initial velocity of Be

Taya2010 [7]

Answer

Josh's textbook reached the ground first

Josh's textbook reached the ground first by a difference of $t=0.6482$

Step-by-step explanation:

Before we proceed let us re write correctly the height equation which in correct form reads:

$h(t)=-16t^2 +v_{o}t+s$ Eqn(1).

Where:

$h(t)$ : is the height range as a function of time

$v_{o}$ : is the initial velocity

$s$ : is the initial heightin feet and is given as 40 feet, thus Eqn(1). becomes:

$h(t)=-16t^2 + v_{o}t + 40$ Eqn(2).

Now let us use the given information and set up our equations for Ben and Josh.

<u>Ben:</u>

We know that $v_{o}=60ft/s$

Thus Eqn. (2) becomes:

$h(t)=-16t^2+60t+40$ Eqn.(3)

<u>Josh:</u>

We know that $v_{o}=48ft/s$

Thus Eqn. (2) becomes:

$h(t)=-16t^2+48t+40$ Eqn. (4).

<em><u>Now since we want to find whose textbook reaches the ground first and by how many seconds we need to solve each equation (i.e. Eqns. (3) and (4)) at </u></em> $h(t)=0$ <em><u>. Now since both are quadratic equations we will solve one showing the full method which can be repeated for the other one. </u></em>

Thus we have for Ben, Eqn. (3) gives:

$h(t)=0-16t^2+60t+40=0$

Using the quadratic expression to find the roots of the quadratic we have:

$t_{1,2}=\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a} \\t_{1,2}=\frac{-60+/-\sqrt{60^2-4(-16)(40)} }{2(-16)} \\t_{1,2}=\frac{-60+/-\sqrt{6160} }{-32} \\t_{1,2}=\frac{15+/-\sqrt{385} }{8}\\\\t_{1}=4.3276 sec\\t_{2}=-0.5776 sec$

Since time can only be positive we reject the $t_{2}$ solution and we keep that Ben's book took $t=4.3276$ seconds to reach the ground.

Similarly solving for Josh we obtain

$t_{1}=3.6794sec\\t_{2}=-0.6794sec$

Thus again we reject the negative and keep the positive solution, so Josh's book took $t=3.6794$ seconds to reach the ground.

Then we can find the difference between Ben and Josh times as

$t_{Ben}-t_{Josh}= 4.3276 - 3.6794 = 0.6482$

So to answer the original question:

<em>Whose textbook reaches the ground first and by how many seconds?</em>

Josh's textbook reached the ground first
Josh's textbook reached the ground first by a difference of $t=0.6482$
