Let the speed of the current equal c
and the speed of the boat in still water equal b.
b + c = 1.5 (b - c)
b + c = 1.5b - 1.5c
0.5b = 2.5c
b = 5c
The speed of the current is 1.5 mph so
b = 5 * 1.5 = 7.5 mph
Answer: a) -240

Answer:
8√21
Step-by-step explanation:
A rectangle has 2 congruent pairs. Those 2 pairs are ST/RU and SR/UT. If that is the case, then that means UV is 5 and SV is also 5. Now we have triangle SRU with a hypotenuse of 10 and a side of 4. Pythagorean Theorem:
4² + b² = 10²
b² = 84
b = 2√21
Segment SR is then equal to b. Now we move on to the area formula:
(2√21)(4) = 8√21
And that is your final answer.
Add all the minutes together, then divide by the number of students:
21+35+77+48+24+29+37+98+30+7 = 406 total minutes
10 students.
Average = 406 / 10 = 40.6 minutes per week.
The answer is A.
