Chan rows at a rate of eight miles per hour in still water. On Wednesday, it takes him three hours to row upstream from his house to the park. He rows back home, and it takes him two hours. What is the speed of the current?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1 3/5 miles/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Let C be the speed of the current

Let D be the distance between Chan's house and the park

We know that Distance, D, is = Speed x Time

-----

Chan's speed going upstream is (8 - C)mph.

That gives us:

D = (8-C)(3 hr)

Chan's speed going downstream is (8+C)mph

So we have:

D = (8+C)(2 hr)

We know that the d is the same for these two equations, so:

(8-C)(3 hr)  = (8+C)(2 hr)

24 - 3C = 16 + 2C

5C = 8

C = (8/5) or 1 3/5 mph

Answer 2

Answer:

  1.6 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance, speed, and time are related by ...

  distance = speed × time

We assume that the distances up and back are the same, so for a current speed of c, we have ...

  3(8 -c) = 2(8 +c)

  24 -3c = 16 +2c . . . eliminate parentheses

  8 = 5c . . . . . . . . . . add 3c-16 to both sides

  c = 8/5 = 1.6 . . . . . divide by 5

The speed of the current is 1.6 miles per hour.

Please do full working and explain if possible (if you explain it would help me understand more but if you don’t it’s alright)

Answers

Answer:

The 2 numbers are 14 and 17.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the 2 numbers be x and y.

x + 11 = 2y

x - 2y = -11...............A

y +20 = 2x

2x - y = 20 ...............B

Multiply equation A by -2:

-2x + 4y = 22............C

Adding B and C :-

3y = 42

y = 14.

Substitute y = 14 in equation A:

x - 2(14) = -11

x = -11 + 28

x = 17.

Analyze the student’s work. Is the answer correct? Explain. No, the student should have added 3 4 to get the total number of sections, and used the fraction Three-sevenths instead of Three-fourths. No, the student should have subtracted 2 from â€"6 to find the distance. No, the student should have added 2 at the end to add to the starting point. Yes, the student’s answer is correct.

Answers

The student's work is incorrect, and the reason is (a) No, the student should have added 3 4 to get the total number of sections, and used the fraction 3/7 instead of 3/5

From the complete question, the given parameters are:

[tex]Ratio =3 : 4[/tex] ---- the ratio

[tex]A = -6[/tex]

[tex]B = 2[/tex]

The student's steps are as follows:

[tex]C = \frac 34 (2 -(-6)) + (-6)[/tex]

[tex]C = \frac 34 (8) + (-6)[/tex]

[tex]C = 6 -6[/tex]

[tex]C = 0[/tex]

To determine the position of point C from the given ratio, we make use of the following quotient;

[tex]Position = \frac 3{3 + 4}[/tex]

[tex]Position = \frac 37[/tex]

This means that, the student ought to add 3 and 7, to get the total number of section.

Hence, the student's work is incorrect, and the reason is (a)

8%

Step-by-step explanation:

when solving with percentages, you can “cross multiply”,

we know the fraction would be set up this way:

[tex]\frac{769}{9950}*\frac{x}{100}[/tex]

*there would be an 100 bc a percentage is out of 100*

Now, you have to multiply 769 by 100

[tex]769*100=\\ 76900[/tex]

Then divide by 9950 to get “x”

[tex]79600/9950=\\ 8[/tex]

A rectangular piece of metal is 5 in longer than it is wide. Squares with sides 1 in long are cut from the four corners and the flaps are folded upward
to form an open box. If the volume of the box is 594 in,what were the original dimensions of the piece of metal?
What is the original width in inches?

Answers

original dimensions: x and x+5

(x-2)(x+5-2)(1) = 644

Now just solve for x.

The width of the piece of metal will be 24 inches while the length will be 29 inches.

What is a rectangle?

A rectangle is a geometrical figure in which opposite sides are equal.

The angle between any two consecutive sides will be 90 degrees.

Area of rectangle = length × width.

Perimeter of rectangle = 2( length + width).

Let's say the width of metal w then the length will be w + 5

Now if we cut 1 inch square from the corner of the metal and then fold then the resultant cuboid will have;

Length = w+5 - 2 -= w + 3

Width = w - 2

Height = 1

So,

Volume = (w+3)(w-2)1

594 = w² + 2w + 3w - 6

w² + w - 600 = 0

By solving this

w = 24 so width will be 24 and length will be 24 + 5 = 29.

Hence "The width of the piece of metal will be 24 inches while the length will be 29 inches".

Given the system of linear equations:
{x+6y=6
y=1/3 x−2

Part A: Graph the system of linear equations.
Part B: Use the graph created in Part A to determine the solution to the system.
Part C: Algebraically verify the solution from a Part B

Answers

Answer:

QUESTION 1

The image attached shows the graph of the given system of equations. There you would notice that the solution is (-1,-5), which is the interception point.

To verify the solution algebraically, we need to multiply the first equation with -1 and then sum them up

Then, we use this value to find the other one

Therefore, the solution is (-1,-5), which is the same showed graphically.

QUESTION 2.

Using the same process as we did in the QUESTION 1. The image attached shows both lines and the interception point which is the solution. So, the solution is (6,0).

To verify the solution algebraically, we must multiply the second equation by -6

Then, we use this value to find the other one

Therefore, the solution is (6,0), the same showed graphically.

The solution to the system of linear equations x+6y=6 and y=1/3 x−2 is x = 6 and y = 0.

What is a linear equation?

It is defined as the relation between two variables, if we plot the graph of the linear equation we will get a straight line.

If in the linear equation, one variable is present, then the equation is known as the linear equation in one variable.

We have:

The system of linear equations:

x+6y=6

y=1/3 x−2

Part A: Graph is shown in the picture.

Part B: The intersection point is (6, 0)

x = 6

y =0

Part C: By substitution method.

[tex]\rm x+6\left(\dfrac{x}{3}-2\right)=6[/tex]

x  = 6

y = 0

Thus, the solution to the system of linear equations x+6y=6 and y=1/3 x−2 is x = 6 and y = 0.

The standard scientific expression is given as A * 10^n

Given the scientific values 3 × 10¹² and 4 × 10¹¹, we need to compare the values.

The value of their powers will determine which of the values is greater or less.

For the notation 3 × 10¹², we can see that the power is 12 while for the notation  4 × 10¹¹, the power is 11. Since 12 is greater than 11, hence the value of 3 × 10¹² is greater than 4 × 10¹¹

A quadrilateral has two angles that measure 63° and 154°. The other two angles are in a ratio of 4:9. What are the measures of those two angles?

Answers

Answer:

44° and 99°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral = 360°

Subtract the 2 given angles from 360° to find the remaining sum

360° - (63 + 154)° = 360° - 217° = 143°

The 2 angles which sum to 143° are in the ratio 4 : 9

sum the parts of the ratio, 4 + 9 = 13 parts , then

143° ÷ 13 = 11° ← value of 1 part of the ratio, so

4 parts = 4 × 11° = 44°

9 parts = 9 × 11° = 99°

The other 2 angles are 44° and 99°
