Kenny's weight is 6/7 times melvin's weight. what is the ratio of melvin's weight to the total weight of the two boys?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

(7)/(13)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> Melvin's weight

y------> Kenny's weight

we know that

y=(6)/(7)x

x+y=x+(6)/(7)x=(13)/(7)x -----> total weight of the two boys

Find the ratio of Melvin's weight to the total weight of the two boys

ratio=(x)/(((13)/(7)x)) =(7)/(13)

Answer 2
Answer: Answer=7:13

Kenny's Weight*6/7=Melvin's Weight

So, for example, if Melvin's weigh was 7...

Kenny's Weight*6/7=7
divide both sides by 6/7
Kenny Weight=6

So we can say that Melvin's weight to Kenny's weight is 7:6

The boys total weights would be...
7+6=13


So Melvin's weight over the total weight of the two boys is:

7:13

Estimate the sum of 502 and 47 by rounding both values to the nearest ten. What is the best estimate of the sum?

Answers

Nearest tenth of 502 is = 500
Nearest tenth of 47 = 50

So, the sum is = 500 + 50 = 550

In short, Your Answer would be 550

Find the x-intercepts of the parabola withvertex (-2,-8) and y-intercept (0,4).
Write your answer in this form: (X1,41), (x2,42).
If necessary, round to the nearest hundredth.
Enter the correct answer.

Answers

Answer:

The x-intercepts are (2+√(8/3),0) and (2-√(8/3),0)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = A(x+2)2 - 8

Since (0,4) is on the graph, 4 = 4A-8

4A = 12

A = 3

So, y = 3(x+2)2-8

To locate the x-intercepts, set y = 0 and solve for x:

0 = 3(x+2)2-8

3(x+2)2 = 8

x+2 = ±√(8/3)

x = -2 ± √(8/3)

A fraction is a short way of writing a division problem.
Every fraction means

         (the top number) divided by (the bottom number) .

When you pick up your pencil or your calculator and actually do
the division, the answer you get is the decimal form of the fraction.

To find the decimal form of  7/8, just divide  7  by  8 .

It is 0.875, because you divide it, and once you do, you get 0.875.

A Cart at the top of a 300m hill has a mass of 40kg. what is the carts gravitational potential energy?

Answers

Answer:

The cart gravitational potential energy is 117,600 Joule

Step-by-step explanation:

First lets define what a gravitational potential energy is.

A gravitational potential energy is the energy stored in an object that rise above a certain height surface.

The formula for calculating the gravitational potential energy(P.E) is m×g×h, where m is the mass of the object measured in kilograms(kg), g is the acceleration due to gravity measured in *(m/s²). It is a constant and always equal to 9.8 m/s²   on the earth surface and h is the height of the object above the surface in (m).

The gravitational potential energy is measured in Joules(J).

From the question, mass(m) is given as 40 kg  and the height(h) is 300m

and g=9.8m/s²

Gravitational Potential Energy(P.E) = m×g×h

                                                          =40 ×9.8 ×300

                                                          =117,600 Joules.

Therefore the cart gravitational potential energy is 117,600 Joules.

                                                     

g.p.e = mgh
m for mass = 40 kg
g for gravitational field strength = 10 N/kg
h for height = 300m

Plug them in:
g.p.e = 40 × 10 × 300
         = 120000 J
In terms of kilo joule:
1 kJ = 1000 J
so 120000 J = 120 kJ
