Traveling upstream (against the current) in a boat, you can travel 35 miles in 7 hours. It
takes half the time (3.5 hours) to travel the same distance downstream (with the
current). Find the speed of the current.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The speed of the current is 2.5 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Systems of Equations

Let's call:

B = velocity of the boat

C = velocity of the current

When traveling upstream, the current is against the boat thus the relative velocity is B-C.

The distance is the product of the velocity by the time. Since the boat takes 7 hours to travel 35 miles upstream, thus:

d=(B-C)*7=35

Dividing by 7:

B - C = 5       [1]

When traveling downstream, the current and the boat are collaborative and the relative velocity is B+C. The travel takes now 3.5 hours, thus:

d=(B+C)*3.5=35

Dividing by 3.5:

B + C = 10       [2]

Subtracting [2] - [1]:

2C = 5

C = 5/2 = 2.5

The speed of the current is 2.5 miles per hour

A. the water’s movement
B. the water
C. the snail

Answer: D. the snail’s path

Step-by-step explanation: because The author uses the most precise words to describe the snail's path.

This excerpt has been taken from Heart of a Samurai, a historical novel written by Margi Preus in 2010. Precise words such as 'shiny', 'ribbon' and 'unfurling' have been used in the second sentence to describe the path of the snail, which is a small animal that has a wet body and moves very slowly. In other words, the author describes the way the path looks by establishing a comparison between the path and a shiny ribbon.

In the figure below, what is the value of x

Answers

Answer:

x = 49°

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles in a Triangle

The sum of the internal angles in any triangle adds up to 180°.

The figure shows a triangle that includes two angles with the same tick mark. This means they are congruent, i.e. they measure the same.

The larger triangle has three defined angles: 43°, 39°, and 2x. Since the sum of them is 180°:

43° + 39° + 2x = 180°

Operating:

82° + 2x = 180°

Subtracting 82°:

2x = 180° - 82° = 98°

x = 98°/2 = 49°

x = 49°

How to solve using Substitution or Elimination??? Help!!
y=3x-1

y=2x+2

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since both equations equals y, then both equations equal each other.

3x - 1 = 2x + 2

Subtract 2x from both sides

x - 1 = 2

Add 1 to both sides

x = 3

Plug x = 3 into one equation(doesn't matter which)

y = 3x - 1

y = 3(3) - 1

y = 9 - 1

y = 8

Answer:

[tex]x=3[/tex]

[tex]y=8[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From these two equations, we can substitute the first equation into the second equation (or the other way round). This gives us:

[tex]3x-1=2x+2[/tex]

[tex]3x-2x=2+1[/tex] (minus [tex]2x[/tex] and add [tex]1[/tex] on both sides)

[tex]x=3[/tex]

To solve for [tex]y[/tex], we can use substitution again:

[tex]y = 3(3)-1[/tex] (using the first equation given)

[tex]y=8[/tex]

A small airplane can hold 44 passengers.fifteen passengers board the plane a. Identify an inequality that represents the additional number of passengers,p, that can board the plane. •15+p<= 44•p—44<=15 • 15+p>=44•15+p<=44. Solve the inequality, the solution is: B. Which best explains whether or not 30 more passengers can board the plane. Please solve this

Answers

Answers:

Inequality is [tex]15 + p \le 44[/tex]

Choice A) 30 more passengers cannot board the plane. Only 29 more passengers can board the plane

===============================================

Explanation:

15 people are already on the plane.

p is a placeholder for a positive whole number representing the additional number of people that can get on the plane.

In total, the plane holds 15+p individuals.

This expression's largest possible value is 44. Think of it as the ceiling. In terms of math, we call it the maximum. Since at most 44 people can be on the plane, this means the inequality we'll set up is [tex]15+p \le 44[/tex]

This says "15+p is less than or equal to 44". It's the same as saying "15+p is 44 or smaller".

---------------------------

To isolate p, we subtract 15 from both sides

Doing so leads to...

[tex]15+p \le 44\\\\15+p-15 \le 44-15\\\\p \le 29[/tex]

We can see that the largest p can get is 29, meaning that at most 29 more people can board the plane. There's no way that 30 people can board. That unfortunate 30-29 = 1 person must wait for another plane.

This all shows why choice A is the answer.

----------------------------

As a way to check the answer, we can note how p = 29 leads to 15+p = 15+29 = 44. We've filled the plane to full capacity.

If p = 30, then 15+p = 15+30 = 45, and we've gone 1 seat overboard.

Select all the numbers that show 4% as an equivalent fraction, decimal, or percent.
[] 0.04
[] 40%
[] 10
[] 4
[] 100
[] 0.4

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

0.04

All the numbers that show 4% as an equivalent fraction, decimal or percent from the listed options are:

In fraction: [tex]4\% = \dfrac{4}{100}[/tex]In decimal: [tex]4\% = 0.04[/tex]

How to convert percent to fraction and decimal?

Percent counts the number compared to 100.

So, if we have a%, that means for each 100, there are 'a' parts. If we divide each of them with 100, we get:

For each 1, there are a/100 parts.

Thus, 50% = 50/100 = 0.50 (in decimal)

For this case, the percent we have is 4%

That shows that for each 100 items, we have 4 of them. This can be written in fraction as 4/100

Solving this division, we get the result in decimal as 0.04

Thus, all the numbers that show 4% as an equivalent fraction, decimal or percent from the listed options are:

In fraction: [tex]4\% = \dfrac{4}{100}[/tex]In decimal: [tex]4\% = 0.04[/tex]

A furniture manufacturer produces chairs and sofas. Each chair requires 10 yards of fabric, and each sofa requires 20 yards of fabric. The manufacturer has 300 yards of fabric available. To fulfill orders, the number of sofas must be at least twice the number of chairs. The manufacturer earns a profit of $50 on each chair and $80 on each sofa. Let x represent the number of chairs and y represent the number of sofas. Choose the function that represents the manufacturer's profit, P.

Answers

Given:

Fabric required for each chair = 10 yards

Fabric required for each sofa = 20 yards.

Total available fabric = 300 yards.

The number of sofas must be at least twice the number of chairs.

Profit on each chair = $50

Profit on each sofa = $80.

To find:

The function that represents the manufacturer's profit, P.

Solution:

Let P represents the manufacturer's profit, x represent the number of chairs and y represent the number of sofas.

Profit on 1 chair = $50

Profit on x chairs = $50x

Profit on 1 sofa = $80

Profit on y sofas = $80y

Total profit = Profit on x chairs + Profit on y sofas

[tex]P=50x+80y[/tex]

Therefore, the required profit function is [tex]P=50x+80y[/tex].
