I need help with Equivalent Fractions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is it that you need help on?

OpenStudy (lauren):

i need to find out if four diffrent fractions are equivalent to each other

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i need help with something people !!

OpenStudy (lauren):

witch are 3/4 18/25 15/20 and 75/100 witch ones are equivlent

myininaya (myininaya):

3/4=6/8=9/12=12/16=15/20=18/24

OpenStudy (anonymous):

someone help me !

myininaya (myininaya):

that was just some examples that are equal to 3/4

myininaya (myininaya):

3/4=15/20

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@myininaya help me .

myininaya (myininaya):

=75/100

OpenStudy (lauren):

no like it says out of thesse witch ones are equal to each other

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im not talking about that . help me with something else .

OpenStudy (lauren):

thnxs myininaya

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lauren, what is the question that you are trying to answer?

myininaya (myininaya):

she wanted to know which one of those fractions were equal. 3/4=15/20=75/100

OpenStudy (lauren):

to each other

OpenStudy (anonymous):

duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh, so the 75/100 would be equal to 15/20?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

YEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS

OpenStudy (anonymous):

K, sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lmaao , its ard girl(:

OpenStudy (lauren):

any more

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you think you could help me out with one of my word problems?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

me ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure

OpenStudy (lauren):

yeah what

OpenStudy (anonymous):

born ready !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, are you ready? Lauren dove into a swimming pool from a 15-foot-high diving board with an initial upward velocity of 8 feet per second. Find the time t in seconds it took lauren to enter thh water. Use the model for vertical motion given by the equation: h=-16t^2+vt+s, where h is height in feet, t is time in seconds, v is the initial upward velocity i feet per second, and s is the initial height in feet. (HInt: let h=0 represent the surface of the pool.)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh my jesus . what grade are you in ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im a freshman in high school. Algebra 1. Is this too hard for you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha . naah .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k, I learned how to do this last year because i was in algebra last year, but i failed. Anyway i have never remembered how to answer these type of questions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well , first think what exactly are they trying to ask you ? whats important in the problem and whats just gravy?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Use the model for velocity motion given by the equation h=16t^2+vt+s, where h is height in feet , t is seconds, v is the initial upward velocity in feet per second, and s is the initial height in feet. : I think the equation should be h = -16t^2 + vt + s (-16t^2 is the downward force of gravity) : When the diver strikes the water, h = 0, therefore -16t^2 + 8t + 15 = 0 Multiply by -1 and try to factor this 16t^2 - 8t - 15 = 0 (4t - 5)(4t + 3) = 0 Positive solution 4t = 5 t = t = 1.25 seconds to hit the water

OpenStudy (anonymous):

break it down.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so I need to know the height of the board and the upward velocity of 8 feet per second and i don't know what else

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i kinda showed you up there right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh my gosh, THank you so much

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yo kerianne23 I gave you a hint for that locker pellet if it helps. If you;re still there, and haven't solved it yet, check that out. If It doesn't help, get back to me!
