Jack rides in a motorboat against a river current for 36 km. Then he returns to his starting point by floating down river on a raft. Tommy travels 9 hours less on the motorboat than on the raft. Find the speed of the river current if the speed of the motorboat in still water is 15 km/h.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

  3 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to know the speed of the river current if floating 36 km downstream takes 9 h longer than the trip upstream in a boat with a speed relative to the current of 15 km/h.

Time

The relation between time, speed, and distance is ...

  time = distance / speed

If c represents the speed of the current, then 15-c is the speed upstream. The relation between the travel times is ...

  36/(15 -c) = 36/c -9

Solution

Multiplying by c(15-c), we have ...

  36c = 36(15 -c) -9(c)(15-c) . . . . . . . multiply by c(15-c)

  36c = 540 -36c -135c +9c² . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  9c² -207c +540 = 0 . . . . . . . collect terms

  c² -23c +60 = 0 . . . . . . . . divide by 9

  (c -20)(c -3) = 0 . . . . values that make the factors zero are c=20, c=3

The speed of the current is 3 km/h.

__

Additional comment

The speed of the current cannot be greater than 15 km/h, or the boat could not go upstream. The speed of the current cannot be greater than 4 km/h, or the trip downstream would take less than 9 hours.

Identify the population and the sample. Lena wants to open a new restaurant in a mall and needs to determine what kind of food to serve to attract the most customers. Out of 1200 mall visitors, 200 are asked their food preference.

Answers

The total mall visitors is the population parameter of the experiment

The sample of the experiment is 200, while the population is 1200

How to identify the sample and the experiment?

From the question, we have the following parameters:

Total mall visitors = 1200Visitors interviewed = 200

The total mall visitors is the population while the visitors that were asked of their food preference are the sample

Hence, the sample of the experiment is 200, while the population is 1200

Solve these equation

4(3-x)=(1-2x)​

Answers

To attempt this algebraic equation we will be multiplying 4 to (3 - x) bracket so as to form the term on L.H.S.

[tex]:\implies\tt{4(3 - x) = (1 - 2x)}[/tex]

[tex]:\implies\tt{(12 - 4x) = (1 - 2x)}[/tex]

[tex]:\implies\tt{12 - 4x = 1 - 2x}[/tex]

Combining like terms, we get,

[tex]:\implies\tt{12 - 1 = - 2x + 4x}[/tex]

[tex]:\implies\tt{11 = 2x}[/tex]

[tex]:\implies\tt{2x = 11}[/tex]

[tex]:\implies\tt{x = \frac{11}{2} }[/tex]

[tex]:\implies\tt{x = 5.5}[/tex]

The value of x is 5.5

Hey there!

4(3 - x) = (1 - 2x)

4(3) + 4(-x) = 1 - 2x

12 - 4x = 1 - 2x

-4x + 12 = -2x + 1

ADD 2x to BOTH SIDES

-4x + 12 + 2x = -2x + 1 + 2x

SIMPLIFY IT!

-2x + 12 = 1

SUBTRACT 12 to BOTH SIDES

-2x + 12 - 12 = 1 - 12

SIMPLIFY IT!
-2x = -11

DIVIDE -2 to BOTH SIDES

-2x/-2 = -11/-2

SIMPLIFY IT!
x = 11/2


Therefore, your answer should be:

x = 11/2

  24 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a couple of ways you can figure the area of the frame:

subtract the inner area from the outer areamultiply the width of the frame by the length of its centerline

__

Subtract

The dimensions of the outer rectangle are twice the frame width plus the dimensions of the inner rectangle. That makes them 8 wide by 6 high. Then the difference of areas is ...

  A = (8)(6) -(6)(4) = 48 -24 = 24 . . . . square units frame area

__

Width by Length

The centerline of the frame is a rectangle with 1 unit greater length and width than the inner rectangle. It is 7 units by 5 units, so will have a perimeter of ...

  P = 2(L+W) = 2(7+5) = 24 . . . . units

Then the area of the frame is this length multiplied by the width of the frame:

  A = (24)(1) = 24 . . . . square units frame area

Answers

The first group of three wolves can be formed in 28 ways.

We have been given that Nine wolves, eight female and one male, are to be released into the wild three at a time.

What is the meaning of combination?

A combination is a combination of n things taken k at a time without repetition.

We need to choose 1 male wolf out of 1 wolf male. So  we can choose one wolf as

[tex]c(1,1)=\frac{1!}{1!(1-1)!} =\frac{1!}{1!}=1!=1[/tex]

We can choose 1 male wolf in only 1 way.

Since the female wolfs are identical that means order doesn't matter, so we will use combinations.

We can choose 2 female wolves out of 8 as

[tex]C(8,2)=\frac{8!}{2!(8-2)!} =\frac{8\times 7 \times 6!}{2\times 1\times 6!} =\frac{8\times 7}{2} =28[/tex]

Therefore, we can choose 2 female wolves out of 8 female wolves in 28 ways.

We have to find number of ways in which the first group of three wolves can be formed we will multiply the ways of choosing 1 male wolf and 2 female wolves.

Number of ways farming first group of three wolves

1(28)=28

Therefore, the first group of three wolves can be formed in 28 ways
