Answer:

10 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

speed of boat in still water = x

speed of current = 5

speed of boat with current (downstream) = x + 5

speed of boat against current (upstream) = x - 5

distance downstream = 9

distance upstream = 3

time = t

speed = distance/time

distance = speed × time

downstream:

9 = (x + 5)t

upstream:

3 = (x - 5)t

9 = xt + 5t

3 = xt - 5t

9 = xt + 5t

-3 = -xt + 5t

-----------------

6 = 10t

t = 0.6

9 = (x + 5)0.6

15 = x + 5

x = 10

A half-gallon carton of organic
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

The price of milk in 5 years = $7.16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Present cost of half-gallon carton milk = $4.45

Increase percentage = 10%

To find the price of milk in 5 years.

Solution:

To find the price of milk in 5 years we will apply the exponential growth formula which is given as:

F_v=P_v(1+r)^t

where

F_v\rightarrow final value

P_v\rightarrow present value

r\rightarrow rate of increase in decimals

t\rightarrow time in years.

From the given data, we can plugin values in the equation to calculate final value in dollars after 5 years.

F_v=4.45(1+0.1)^5

F_v=4.45(1.1)^5

F_v=4.45(1.61)

F_v=7.16

Thus, price of milk in 5 years = $7.16
