ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

where did u stuck

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't understand what it is asking. am i supposed to create two equations? and how do I round to the nearest 250 meters - for a

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

No equations are involved here, its very easy actually, just we need to see how the balloons are moving :)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

horizontal, u seeing 1, 2, 3, ... 10 right ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

vertical, 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000...

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

horizontal is TIME vertical is HEIGHT of balloons

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

whats the first q asking us ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what the vertical distance is between the balloons at three hours

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

its asking us tell, how high the 2nd balloon is, above the first ballooon

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Yes, so, goto 3 hours in horizontal

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

do u see bottom balloon is at 2000 and top balloon is at 3500

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait no. 1,500?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Yes ! you're good :))

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

just enter 1500 for first question

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

its already rounded to 250, so dont wry about it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, thanks

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

wat about 2nd question

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

wat exactly its asking us ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the second question 10 hours?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Correct !

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

you may enter 9.5 hours to be safe

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

cuz, its happening between 9hours and 10hours

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, thank you

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

np :) wat about next q did u get that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the next one 3, 500?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(\large \color{Red}{\checkmark}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thank you @ganeshie8

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

np :)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

wat about d

OpenStudy (anonymous):

every thing was right except for b. I put in 9.5 and it said it was wrong, then I tried 10 and it was also wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I figured d out, it was 2 and 7.5

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yup ! we will get back to b in the end

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

wat about e

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got E as well. A was higher until they were the same, then B was higher, then A again

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

try 9 for b once

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

is there a limit on # of times you can try

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9 was right. yes there is a limit of four tries.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you for walking me through each question, I appreciate it.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yay ! finally !!! you did all the work urself, yw :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you mind helping me with another problem that is similar ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ganeshie8

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

sure, post...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I already tried it once, but I got some wrong

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

for b, did u try 85 % ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, I didn't

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

try once, see if u get lucky :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well I have to submit my answers to all of them at once and then see, otherwise it will deduct tries for the other ones

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

ohk, id go wid 85 for a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, thanks

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

for b, its 110 % in 1991 its clear

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, that makes sense

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for b. Japan is it 15%

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

for b, for japan, id go wiid 15% and 115%

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
