The amount of work required to stretch 9 inches beyond the natural length will be 4.5 ft-lb
Given data:
To determine the work required to stretch the spring 9 inches beyond its natural length, use the concept of Hooke's Law.
Hooke's Law states that the force required to stretch or compress a spring is directly proportional to the displacement from its equilibrium position.
Given that stretching the spring by 2 ft requires 12 ft-lb of work, determine the constant of proportionality.
The constant of proportionality (k) represents the stiffness of the spring and can be calculated using the formula:
k = work / displacement
k = 12 ft-lb / 2 ft
k = 6 lb/ft
Now, calculate the work required to stretch the spring 9 inches (0.75 ft) beyond its natural length using the same constant of proportionality:
work = k * displacement
work = 6 lb/ft * 0.75 ft
work = 4.5 ft-lb
Hence, it would require 4.5 ft-lb of work to stretch the spring 9 inches beyond its natural length.

1. How would you write 77.7% as a decimal? Set that decimal equal
to x. What digit or digits repeat?
2. Multiply each side of the equation by a power of 10 to get the
repeating digit(s) to the left of the decimal point. Since you only
need to move one place, multiply each side by 10.
3. Subtract the equation in Exercise 1 from the equation in Exercise 2.
Then simplify.

1. 0.777, the thousandths place value repeats
2. 7.77
3. x = 0.60 (0.0603729)
4.
5.
6. 83%
-did my best-
Step-by-step explanation:
Raul made 7/9 of his shots in yesterday's basketball game and Jenny's lacrosse team won 83/100 of their games this season.
To answer the question about what fraction of shots Raul made, we need to convert the percentage into a decimal and then a fraction. To first convert 77.7% into a decimal, we move the decimal point two places to the left, getting 0.777.
Now, to put this into fraction form, knowing that the decimal 0.777 is repeating, we let x = 0.777. Multiply each side by 10 to get 10x = 7.777. Subtracting the first equation from this gives us 9x = 7, hence x = 7/9. So, the fraction of shots Raul made is 7/9.
For Jenny's lacrosse team, the winning percentage is 0.83. It’s a non-repeating decimal so it's straightforward to convert this into a fraction. To convert the decimal to a fraction, we consider the numbers after the decimal point. Since there are two digits (.83), we write it as 83/100. But, it can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common factor (GCF), which is 1 in this case. So, the fraction of games Jenny's team won is 83/100.
