Answer:

Height  = 20.248 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We can model this process with an exponential function

Height = Initial_Height *(e)^(k*x)

Initial_Height  = 64 ft

Second bounce

x  = 2

36 ft = 64 ft *(e)^(2*k)

(e)^(2*k) = 0.5625

2* k = ln(0.5625)

k = -0.2877

Fourth bounce

x =  4

Height = 64 *(e)^(-0.2877*(4))

Height  = 20.248 ft

A turtle walks 7/8 of a mile in 50 minutes. What is the unit rate when the turtle’s speed is expressed in miles per hour?
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

21/20

Step-by-step explanation:

a) One hour is equivalent to 60 minutes.

So we can multiply 50 minutes by the fraction \frac{1 hour}{60 minutes}, so we could convert 50 minutes to hours.

It is:

50 minutes * \frac{1 hour}{60 minutes}=\frac{50}{60}hours

If we simplify the fraction, we have:

50 minutes = \frac{5}{6}hours

b) In order to express the turtle's speed in miles per hour, we have to divide

\frac{7}{8}miles by  \frac{5}{6}hours

So:

\frac{\frac{7}{8}miles }{\frac{5}{6}hours }

We simplify the expression by multiplying 7 mile by 6 and 8 by 5 hours:

\frac{\frac{7}{8}miles }{\frac{5}{6}hours}=\frac{42 miles}{40 hours} =\frac{21 miles}{20 hours}

Ivanna is playing a game in which she spins a spinner with 6 equal-sized slices numbered 1 through 6. The spinner stops on a num
saul85 [17]

Answer:

The spinner has 6 equal-sized slices, so each slice has a 1/6 probability of showing up.

I guess that we want to find the expected value in one spin:

number 1: wins $1

number 2: wins $3

number 3: wins $5

number 4: wins $7

number 5: losses $8

number 6: loses $8

The expected value can be calculated as:

Ev = ∑xₙpₙ

where xₙ is the event and pₙ is the probability.

We know that the probability for all the events is 1/6, so we have:

Ev = ($1 + $3 + $5 + $7 - $8 - $8)*(1/6) = $0

So the expected value of this game is $0, wich implies that is a fair game.

Evaluate \dfrac14c+3d
Crank

Answer:  \frac{45}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3> The exercise is: " Evaluate \frac{1}{4}c + 3d when c = 6 and   d = 7</h3>

Given the following expression:

 \frac{1}{4}c + 3d

You can follow these steps in order to evaluate it:

 1. Substitute c = 6 and   d = 7 into the expression provided in the exercise:

  \frac{1}{4}(6) + 3(7)

2. Solve the multiplications. Remember that:

 \frac{a}{b}*\frac{c}{d}=\frac{ac}{bd}

Then:

 =\frac{6}{4} +21

3. Reduce the fraction. Notice that the numerator 6 and the denomiantor 4 can be both divided by 2. Then:

=\frac{3}{2} +21

4. Solve the addition:

=\frac{3}{2} +\frac{21}{1}

 Since the number 21 has a denominator 1, the Least Common Denominator is:

LCD=2

Then, the sum is:

=\frac{3+42}{2}=\frac{45}{2}

In a family there are five sons. The oldest son is 11 3/4 years old, and every next younger brother is younger than the next by
timama [110]

Answer:

the youngest brother is of 2 years and 5 months

if this rule still applies, the next son will be born in 2 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Oldest son= 11 3/4 years old = 11 years 3/4 (12) months = 11 years 9 months

Difference = 2 years 7/12(12) months = 2 years 7 moths

So for finding the age of youngest brother:

Subtract the difference others from age of oldest:

= 11 years 9 months - 4(2 years 7 months)

= 11 years 9 months - 9 years 4 months

=  2 years 5 months

So the youngest brother is of 2 years and 5 months

if this rule still applies, the next son will be born in 2 months.

i hope it will help you!
