You drop the rubber ball from height h it bounces back to 60% of its original height. Write an equation you can use to find the height h?
THE QUESTION IS FROM 2012, YES I KNOW. the equation is .60 times h equals 27. 27 divided by .60 equals 45. The solution of the equation is 45. If you don't know what a solution is, it's the answer so, THE ANSWER IS 45
0.6h=27
wait so is it 45 or 18 ?
I got it! It is 45 and the equation is 60%of h=27.
First find what ten percent is
if you got 4.5 then you are right on the track.
Then you mulitpy 4.5 to get to 45

To find the equation that relates the original height of the ball, h, with the height it bounces back to, we can use the following approach:
1. Let's assume the height the ball bounces back to is represented by "b."
2. Since the ball bounces back to 60% of its original height, we know that the height it bounces back to (b) is equal to 60% of the original height (h).
3. To write this as an equation, we can express 60% as a decimal, which is 0.6, and multiply it by the original height (h).
4. Therefore, the equation becomes:
b = 0.6h
This equation represents the relationship between the original height (h) and the height the ball bounces back to (b) when the ball retains 60% of its original height.
