Lois is correct. This is because multiplication is repeated addition. It means that when your addends are just the same number but added several times, the sum is just equivalent to the product of that number times the number of times it was added. For example, 4+4+4 = 4×3 = 12.
Answer:
14hrs
Step-by-step explanation:
v = speed in still water
t = downstream trip time
d = distance = 182 miles; same distance both downstream and upstream
t + 12 = upstream return trip time
u = current flow = 3 mph
Downstream: d = (v + u)t; Upstream: d = (v - u)(t + 12)
(v - 3)(t + 12) = 182 (equation 1)
(v + 3)t = 182 (equation 2)
Subtract equation 2 from equation 1 to get t:
(vt + 12v -3t -36) - (vt + 3t) = 0
12v - 6t - 36 = 0
t = 2v - 6
Substitute this result for t into equation 2 and solve for v:
(v + 3)(2v - 6) = 182
2v^2 - 6v + 6v - 18 = 182
v^2 = 100
v = 10 mph
t = 2v - 6 = [2(10) - 6] hrs = 14 hrs
What was it less than, any absolute value is like a whole number, so yeah
I believe it is 2,400. 4,000 x 0.6 = 2,400
75 capsules = $60
1 capsule = 60 ÷ 75 = $0.80
40 capsules = $0.80 x 40 = $32
Answer: $32
