The speed of current will be "4.5 mph" and the rate Pratap can row in still water will be "8.5 mph".

What does "speed" mean in mathematics?

  • Speed is what it means. the speed of a change in an object's location in any direction.
  • Speed is defined as the ratio of distance to the amount of time it took to cover that distance.
  • Speed is a scalar quantity because it just has a direction and no magnitude.

Given:

Distance "26 miles" in time "2 hours".

Let,

Speed of water = y

Pratap speed when rowing in still water = x

As we know,

      Speed = distance/time

then,

  x + y = 26/2

  x + y = 13

 x = 13 - y

In return trip took him time "6.5 hours",

       x - y = 26/6.5

      x - y = 4

By substituting the value of "x", we get

 13 - y - y = 4

  13 - 2y = 4

     2y = 13 - 4

        2y = 9

          y = 9/4 = 4.5 mph (Rate of the current)

By substituting the value of "y", we get

    x = 13 - a

   x = 13 - 4. 5 = 8.5 mph (Pratap can row in still water)

Mark and Julio are selling flower bulbs for a school fundraiser. Customers can buy bags of windflower bulbs and packages of croc
ikadub [295]

Answer:

Bag of windflower bulbs costs $8.50

Package of crocus bulbs costs $17.60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $x be the price of one bag of windflower bulbs and $y be the price of one  package of crocus bulbs.

1. Mark sold 2 bags of windflower bulbs for $2x and 5 packages of crocus bulbs for $5y. In total he earned $(2x+5y) that is $105. So,

2x+5y=105

2. Julio sold 9 bags of windflower bulbs for $9x and 5 packages of crocus bulbs for $5y. In total he earned $(9x+5y) that is $164.50. So,

9x+5y=164.50

3. You get the system of two equations:

\left\{\begin{array}{l}2x+5y=105\\ \\9x+5y=164.50\end{array}\right.

From the first equation

5y=105-2x

Substitute it into the second equation:

9x+105-2x=164.50

7x=164.50-105

7x=59.5

x=$8.50

So,

5y=105-2·8.5

5y=105-17

5y=88

y=$17.60

There are approximately 15 milliliters (mL) in 1 tablespoon (tbsp). Which expression can be used to find the approximate number
Greeley [361]
We develop the ratio between the number of milliliters present in 1 tablespoon and that is,
                               15 mL: 1 tablespoon
We let x be the number of millileter in 3 tbsp and it can be determined through the equation below.
                                x = 3 tbsp x (15 mL/ 1 tbsp) = 45 mL
Therefore, there are 45 mL in 3 tbsp.

Answer:

hey,its option a

Step-by-step explanation:

because angle F= angle M and angle G= angle L

and angle H= angle N

To know third angle in ∆HGF

,we know sum of all angles in a triangle is 180°

______________________________

let angle H be unknown value x

x+51+36=180

x=180-87 ---------------- 1

similarly in ∆MNL

let angle be y

51+36+y=180

y=180-87----------------2

_______________________________

From 1&2 we observe qngle x= angle y
