Solution:

Given:

Fact 1 - If a whale has exactly one nostril (also called a blowhole), then that whale has teeth.

Fact 2 - some whales have two nostrils.

From the above statements;

If a whale has teeth, then that whale has exactly one nostril. This is NOT TRUE because there are some whales that have two nostrils.

If a whale has two nostrils, then that whale has teeth. This is also NOT TRUE because there are some whales that have one nostril and have teeth.

If a whale has teeth, then that whale has two nostrils. This is NOT TRUE because if a whale has exactly one nostril, then that whale has teeth.

Therefore, none of the preceding three conclusions follows logically from the two given facts.

The speed of boat in still water is 15km/hr if needs 4 more his to travel 63 km against the current of a river than it needs to
hram777 [196]

Answer:

\frac{63}{15  - c} - \frac{63}{15  + c} = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The systems of equations are

Let us assume the rate of the current be c

Now actual speed against the current is (15 - c)

And, the actual speed with the current is (15 + c)

Here we applied the time formula i.e. distance by speed

Also the upstream time  - downstream time = 4

Now the equations are

\frac{63}{15  - c} - \frac{63}{15  + c} = 4

Answer:

2,196;    549;     131.76;     8;     175.68;      1339.56

Step-by-step explanation:

2,196 is the biggest number, so use that as the first number.

.25x2196=549

.06x2196=131.76

.08x2196=175.68

2196-(549+131.76+175.68)=1339.56

Scrat [10]
Take the amount that he pays for his mortgage, so $2042, and divide that by his total pay, $5950. You’ll get .34016907. Then to make a decimal into a percentage, you multiply it by 100. This gives you 34%, meaning he spends less than the national average on housing.
