Answer:
0.253
Step-by-step explanation:
since it is greater than 0.243
The answer is b sorry if I’m incorrect though
S = d/t
st = d
t = d/s
The time going is t1.
The time returning is t2.
The total time is 4 hours, so we have t1 + t2 = 4
The speed of the current is c.
The speed going is 9 + c.
The speed returning is 9 - c.
t1 = 16/(9 + c)
t2 = 16/(9 - c)
t1 + t2 = 16/(9 + c) + 16/(9 - c)
4 = 16/(9 - c) + 16/(9 + c)
1 = 4/(9 - c) + 4/(9 + c)
(9 + c)(9 - c) = 4(9 - c) + 4(9 + c)
81 - c^2 = 36 - 4c + 36 + 4c
81 - c^2 = 72
c^2 = 9
c^2 - 9 = 0
(c + 3)(c - 3) = 0
c + 3 = 0 or c - 3 = 0
c = -3 or c = 3
We discard the negative answer, and we get c = 3.
The speed of the current is 3 mph.
Answer: 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
16/12=4/3
4/3=1/n >>>> 3=4n >>>> 3/4 = n
