Answer:

The ball will bounce back to 2.5 feet if it is dropped from a height of 3 3/4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of drop = 3 3/4 feet

$\texttt{Height of drop = }3\frac{3}{4}feet=\frac{3\times 4+3}{4}=\frac{15}{4}feet$

According to NBA standards, a basketball should bounce back 2/3 the distance from which it is dropped.

So the ball will bounce back to 2/3 of dropping height,

Here

$h=\frac{15}{4}feet\\\\\texttt{Height to bounce backed = }\frac{2}{3}\times \frac{15}{4}=\frac{30}{12}\\\\\texttt{Height to bounce backed = }\frac{5}{2}=2.5feet$

The ball will bounce back to 2.5 feet if it is dropped from a height of 3 3/4 feet

3×4=12
2×4=8

8/12

4×3=12
3×3=9

3 9/12

3 9/12-8/12= 2 11/12

If I am not wrong then the answer is 2 11/12

The two-way frequency table below shows the preferred communication method of employees at a company, based on years of employme

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

The percentage of employees with 8 or more years at the company that reported that email is their preferred method of communication is 30.48%. I suppose there was a small typing mistake in option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The proportion is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

The percentage is the proportion multiplied by 100.

In this question:

210 employees with 8 of more year.

Of those, 64 have the email as their preferred method of communication.

64/210 = 0.3048

0.3048*100 = 30.48%

The percentage of employees with 8 or more years at the company that reported that email is their preferred method of communication is 30.48%. I suppose there was a small typing mistake in option B.

suter [353]

Answer:

$5\sqrt{10}\ units$

5 StartRoot 10 EndRoot

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The legs of a 45°-45°-90° triangle are congruent

Let

x ----> the length of one leg of the triangle

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

$c^2=a^2+b^2$

where

c is the hypotenuse

a and b are the legs

we have

$c=10\sqrt{5}\ units$

$a=b=x\ units$

substitute

$(10\sqrt{5})^2=x^2+x^2$

$500=2x^2\\x^2=250\\x=\sqrt{250}\ units$

Simplify

$x=5\sqrt{10}\ units$

Answer:

$311.74

Step-by-step explanation:

A financial calculator computes the payment amount to be $311.74.

___

Your graphing calculator may have the capability to do this. Certainly, such calculators are available in spreadsheet programs and on the web.

___

The appropriate formula is the one for the sum of terms of a geometric series.

Sn = a1·((1+r)^n -1)/(r) . . . . . where r is the monthly interest rate (0.005) and n is the number of payments (480). Filling in the given numbers, you have ...

$620827.46 = a1·(1.005^480 -1)/.005 = 1991.4907·a1

Then ...

$620827.46/1991.4907 = a1 ≈ $311.74
