Answer:
The answer is b. But you asked for the thought process so...
Step-by-step explanation:
Let speed of the 1st trip x miles / hr. and speed of the 2nd trip 3x / hr.
We know that
Speed = Distance/Time.
Or, Time = Distance/Speed.
So, the time taken to cover a distance of 50 miles on his first trip = 50/x hr.
And the time taken to cover a distance of 300 miles on his later trip = 300/3x hr.
= 100/x hr.
So we can clearly see that his new time compared with the old time was: twice as much.
Have a great day :)
Answer: x= 1/54
Explained: easy mental math :p
slope intercept form is just solve for y
y+16=3(x-0)
y+16=3(x)
y+16=3x
mius 16 both sides
y=3x-16
3rd option
Answer:
The speed with which Ryan was rowing was 4 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
With a small boat, Ryan wants to row towards an island and come back at a speed of x mph and the island is 20 miles away from him.
Therefore, total 20 + 20 = 40 miles he rowed for 5 hours.
On the way to the island, there was a wind of 4 mph in the direction of his motion and on the way back also there was a wind of 4 mph in the direction of his motion.
So, in the total journey, he has a speed of (x + 4) mph.
Therefore, 
⇒ x + 4 = 8
⇒ x = 4 mph.
Therefore, the speed with which Ryan was rowing was 4 mph. (Answer)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The simple interest on a certain sum for 5years at 8% per annum is Rs200 less than the simple interest on the same sum for 3years and 4months at 18% per annum.Find the sum
The formula for Simple Interest = PRT
From above question, we have to find the Principal
The simple interest on a certain sum for 5years at 8% per annum is Rs200
Hence,
R = 8%
T = 5 years
Rs 200 = P × 8% × 5
P = 200/8% × 5
P = Rs500
The principal = Rs 500
The simple interest on the same sum for 3years and 4months at 18% per annum.
Simple Interest = PRT
R = 18%
T = 3 years and 4 months
Converted to years
T = 3 + (4 months/12 months)
T = 3.33 years
Hence,
Simple Interest = Rs 500 × 18% × 3.33 years
= Rs 299.7
