Small tug boats pull cruise ships up and down rivers to prevent them from grounding. Cruise ships anchor 22 km away from the riv

er port. A tug boat can travel 20 km downstream in the same time it takes it to travel 10 km upstream. If the speed of the current is 5 km/h, calculate the time it takes for the tug boats to travel upstream from the cruise ship to the river port.

Answer:

2.2 hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of the boat in km/h be x.

Then, the speed downstream is (x+5), and the speed upstream is (x-5).

We know the speed downstream is twice the speed upstream, so

x+5=2(x-5) \\ \\ x+5=2x-10 \\ \\ x=15

This means the speed upstream is 10 km/h. Thus, to travel 22 km, it will take 2.2 hrs.

A shelter in the city house birds and dogs . There are 25% more dogs then birds. If there are 50 birds how many dogs are there?
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

They have 83 dogs and 50 birds.

There are 133 animals in total in the shelter.

Step-by-step explanation:

So let's call the dogs D and the birds B.

D = 25% + B

What ever the amount of animals, the total for D must always be 25% more than B.

To get 100% of the animals, B must equal 37.5% and D must equal 62.5%.

The way I worked this out was:

100% - 25%= 75%

75% divided by 2= 37.5%

37.5% + 25%= 62.5%

And just to check

37.5% + 62.5% = 100%

So to work out 100%:

37.5% = 50

divide both by 37.5 to get 1%

1% = 1.333333

time both by 62.5 to get 62.5%

62.5% = 83.333313

We'll round that answer because I'm pretty sure they don't have a .333313th of a dog.

So D = 62.5% = 83

They have 83 dogs and 50 birds.

Phew! That was the hard part. Now onto something wayyy easier.

To get the total number of animals in the shelter we just do 83 + 50, which is 133.

There are 133 animals in total in the shelter.

Hope this helps you :)
