Speed of the ship in the second hour =  (62.5 * x ) / 100  kph.

In third hour it is  [(62 * x) / 100 ] * x/100]

is 4th hour its is the above * x/100 again  so we can now form the equation

62.5x      x          x
------- *   ----  *  ----    =  32
100      100      100

62,5 x^3 = 32,000,000
x^3 =  512,000
x = 80 <-----  Answer  to (a)

(b)  Ship travels 62.5 in first hour then  this falls by a common ratio of 0.8 each hour so we have a geometric sequence 

Dist travelled in 6 hours  =  a1  1 - r^n
                                                --------  = 62.5* (1 - 0.8^6) / 1 -0.8 = 230.56

                                               1 - r

Answer is    230.56 km

Answer:

the answer would be $45.55

<3

Step-by-step explanation:

20$ + $50.00 = $70

$70 - $6.95 = $64.5

$64.5 - $9.95 = $54.55

$54.55 - $20 = $34.55

$34.55 + $15 = $49.55

$49.55 - $4 = $45.55

Answer number 2 pleaseeee thank you
Fittoniya [83]

Hi!

a: <em>F </em><em>n </em><em>G </em>=(Intersection) {4,6,8,10}

b: <em>F </em><em>n </em><em>H </em>={empty set}

Because there is no common element between the elements of set F and the elements of set H.

Note: It may not be very clear as I don't speak English.

God work!
