A secretary can type 12 pages per hour. There are a total of 152 pages to type. How many pages remain to be typed after 9 hours?

1 answer:

4 0

So, she can type 12 pages in 1 hour, how many would she type in 9 hours then? let's check,

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll}
pages&hours\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
12&1\\
p&9
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{12}{p}=\cfrac{1}{9}\implies \cfrac{12\cdot 9}{1}=p$

so in 9 hours, she has that typed that many pages, how many pages remain from the 152? well 152 - p.

Use the position function s(t) = −16t² + 400, which gives the height (in feet) of an object that has fallen for t seconds from a

skad [1K]

Answer:

160m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

The object can hit the ground when t = a; meaning that s(a) = s(t) = 0

So, 0 = -16a² + 400

16a² = 400

a² = 25

a = √25

a = 5 (positive 5 only because that's the only physical solution)

The instantaneous velocity is

v(a) = lim(t->a) [s(t) - s(a)]/[t-a)

Where s(t) = -16t² + 400

and s(a) = -16a² + 400

v(a) = Lim(t->a) [-16t² + 400 + 16a² - 400]/(t-a)

v(a) = Lim(t->a) (-16t² + 16a²)/(t-a)

v(a) = lim (t->a) -16(t² - a²)(t-a)

v(a) = -16lim t->a (t²-a²)(t-a)

v(a) = -16lim t->a (t-a)(t+a)/(t-a)

v(a) = -16lim t->a (t+a)

But a = t

So, we have

v(a) = -16lim t->a 2a

v(a) = -32lim t->a (a)

v(a) = -32 * 5

v(a) = -160

Velocity = 160m/s

1.How much taller Porter is than Henry, given that Porter is n inches tall and Henry is m inches tall. 2.How many times as tall

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

Porter is $n-m$ inches taller than Henry.

Porter is $\frac{n}{m}$ times taller than henry.

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference in height can be found using subtraction.

Since Porter is taller than Henry, we'll subtract away Henry's height from Porter's height. This will leave us with only the difference between the heights.

n = Porter's height

m = Henry's height

Difference in height is thus:

$n-m$

Answer: Porter is $n-m$ inches taller than Henry.

To find out how many times taller Porter is than Henry, we can use division.

An example: if Porter was 200cm, and Henry was 100cm, Porter is obviously 2 times as tall.

If we divide Porter's height by Henry's height...

$\frac{200}{100}=2$

..we'll get 2. This is because Henry's height "fits in twice" in Porter's height. 100 fits twice in 200.

Using our values, n and m, we'll divide n by m.

$\frac{n}{m}$

Answer: Porter is $\frac{n}{m}$ times taller than henry.
