Answer:

The volume of 10 drops is 0.1 fluid ounce

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the volume of 10 drops, we will follow the steps below;

Using proportion;

Let x be the volume of 10 drops

100 drops = 1 fluid ounce

10 drops = x

Cross-multiply

100×X = 10×1

100x = 10

Divide both-side of the equation by 100

100x/100 = 10/100

At the left-hand side of the equation 100 will cancel-out 100 leaving us with just x while at the right-hand side of the equation 10 will be divided by 100.

Thus;

x = 0.1 fluid ounce

Therefore, the volume of 10 drops is 0.1 fluid ounce

1 floz divided by 100 = 0.01 floz for 1 drop
0.01 x 10 = 0.1 floz for 10 drops

Enrico is designing a rectangular board for a game. He wants the ratio of the length to the

Aleks [24]

Answer:

$A(x)=\frac{6}{5}x^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

y ----> the length of the board

x ----> the width of the board

we know that

$\frac{y}{x}=\frac{6}{5}$

$y=\frac{6}{5}x$ ----> equation A

The area of the board is

$A=xy$ ----> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B

$A=x(\frac{6}{5}x)$

$A(x)=\frac{6}{5}x^2$

Suppose an egg is thrown off the top of a building 240 feet above ground. The height, h, in feet of the rock above the ground is

Nostrana [21]

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is: D) 6.2 seconds

When the egg hit the ground, the height will be equal to 0, so, from the given equation we need to find the roots or zeroes.

It's a quadratic function, we can find the roots using the quadratic equation:

$\frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}$

So, from the given function we know that:

$a=-16\\b=60\\c=240$

So, substituting we have:

$\frac{-60+-\sqrt{60^{2}-4*(-16)*240}}{2*(-16)}=\frac{-60+-\sqrt{3600+15360}}{-32}\\\\\frac{-60+-\sqrt{18960}}{-32}=\frac{-60+-(137.69)}{-32}$

$x1=\frac{-60-137.69}{-32}=6.18$

$x2=\frac{-60+137.69}{-32}=-2.42$

So, since the time can not be a negative value, the correct option is:

6.18≈6.2 seconds

Hence, it takes 6.2 seconds to the egg to hit the ground.

Have a nice day!
