Answer:

4.5 mph or 9/2 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the rate of the current

Formula: Distance = rate x time

where rate upstream =(12-x) and time =2 hours

15=(12-x)(2)

15=24–2x

2x=24–15

2x= 9

x=9/2=4.5 miles per hour (rate of current)

Answer:

A=360in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

there are 5 faces, 2 triangular, 3 rectangular

Triangular:

A=(9 * 10)/2=45

Since there are 2 of them the total is 90 in^2 for the triangles

Rectangular:

A=10*9=90

Multiple the cost of the water bottle ($2.75) then whatever you answer is, you subtract that from 18. She should have $12.5 left. The most bags of popcorn she could get is 3. Just add $3.50 until it’s closes to the amounts of money she has left.

Digiron [165]

Step-by-step explanation:

guessing

volume is always unit cubed

so in this case inches cubed or in^3

so multiply all 3 numbers

carry on is 22×14x9= 2772 in^3

leather is 18×12×8 = 1728 in^3

canvas is 18×15×10 = 2700 in^3 but the depth in ge's canvas 15" in larger than the carry on checklist

so

the leather will definitely fit
