The excursion boat on the river takes 2½ hours to make the trip to a point 12 miles upstream and to return. If the rate at which

the boat travels in still water is 5 times the rate of the river current, what is the rate of the current?

Answer:

2 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

time = distance / speed

Let c represent the rate of the current. Then the upstream rate of the boat relative to the shore is (5c -c) = 4c, and the <em>upstream time</em> is ...

... 12/(4c) = 3/c.

Likewise, the downstream rate is (5c +c) = 6c, and the <em>downstream time</em> is ...

... 12/(6c) = 2/c.

The <em>total time</em> is the sum of upstream and downstream times:

... 3/c +2/c = 2.5

... 5/c = 2.5 . . . . . . combine terms

... 5/2.5 = c = 2 . . . multiply by c/2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

y=2x=,z=3x,r=4x

Now,

x+y+z+r=360°(complete turn)

x+2x+3x+4x=360°(given)

10x=360°

x=360°/10

x=36°

Hence,

x=36°

y=2x=2×36°=72°

z=3x=3×36°=108°

r=4x=4×36°=144°

Please help this is hard math
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

y=-4x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

  • First we find the slope of the line AB passing through the point (2,0)
  • line AB is perpendicular to the line y=\frac{1}{4}x-3 , this equation is slope intercept for, which is y=mx+b so our m or slope is \frac{1}{4}
  • Since the slope of line AB is perpendicular to m=\frac{1}{4} then we use the equation slope of line1\times slopeofline2=-1 , so what do we multiply \frac{1}{4} by to get -1? -4 right, so that's the slope of line AB with the point (2,0)
  • Now line CD is parallel to line AB, that means it has the same slope as AB, so slope of CD is -4
  • So we make the equation y-y_1=m(x-x_1) so m= -4 and our point is (-1,6)
  • y-(6)=-4(x-(-1)\\y-6=-4x-4\\y=-4x-4+6\\y=-4x+2 thats the equation of line side CD

A submarine cruises underwater at 20 km/h and on
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

System of equations:

20x + 30y = 650

x + y = 25

Time underwater = 10 hours

Time at the surface = 15 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = time underwater at 20 km/h.

Let y = time on the surface at 30 km/h.

speed = distance/time

distance = speed * time

distance underwater: 20x

distance on the surface: 30y

total distance: 650

20x + 30y = 650

total time: x + y

total time: 25

x + y = 25

20x + 30y = 650

x + y = 25

20x + 30y = 650

-20x - 20y = -500

--------------------------------

          10y = 150

              y = 15

x + y = 25

x + 15 = 25

x = 10
