Joey is a skydiver who deploys his parachute when he is 13,000 feet above the ground. The landing zone is 1300 feet from the directly below where the chute was opened. His distance above the ground is decreasing at 10 miles per hour. His horizontal distance from the landing zone is decreasing at 1 mile per hour. A.) Joey opens his parachute and begins to descend toward the landing zone at a rate of 10.5 miles per hour. After 2.5 minutes, he is 10,854 feet from the landing zone, and his vertical distance above the ground is 10,800 feet. How many feet was Joey from the landing zone when he began his descent?

i’m here for points.

step-by-step explanation: the answer is 27. first multiply .32 by 25 which equals 8. then add 8 to 25 which gives you 33. then you subtract that from 6 since she gave 6 to her brother.

,, add !

the answer is d

hope this

hello!

to begin with, we're given that on earth, a rock weighs 20 pounds, and while on jupiter, that same rock weighs 42 pounds. now, we're trying to find the weight of a rock that weighs 10.5 pounds on earth, on jupiter.

to solve this, first, set up a proportion, cross-multiply, and solve it algebraically.

setting up the proportion is the hardest and the most confusing part of the problem, but it's simple.

if on earth, the rock weighs 20 lbs, and on jupiter it weighs 42 lbs, our first part of our proportion is 20/42 lbs. the second part has to be equal to each other. this means that 10.5 has to be on the numerator of the fraction, and x, the value we're trying to find, has to be on the denominator. remember that the rock weighs 10.5 lbs on earth, and we're trying to find the weight of it on jupiter (which is x).

20/42 = 10.5/x

next, you would cross-multiply.

20x = 42(10.5)

20x = 441

now, solve it algebraically by using division.

x = 22.05 lbs

this can be rounded to 22.1 lbs.

therefore, the weight of the rock on jupiter is 22.1 lbs, the fourth choice.
