Answer:

rate of motorboat: b

rate of current: c

So the rate the boat travels upstream is $b - c$, and the rate it travels downstream is $b + c$

Step-by-step explanation:

d = rt

200 = (b - c)\cdot 5

200 = (b + c)\cdot 4

b - c = 40

b + c = 50

Adding these equations, we get:

2b = 90

b = 45

So

c = 50 - 45 = 5

<u>Therefore the rate of the boat is 45kph, and the rate of the current is 5kph</u>

Hope this helps :)

The first question would be distance from the start, as it is steadily going up as time goes on.

The second question would be distance from the end, as it is steadily going down as time goes on.

The third question would be speed, as the speed is staying stable as shown by the straight lines seen within the distance from start/end graphs being linear lines.

Find the quotient of these complex numbers.

Answer:

  C.  (45+11i)/29

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator.

  \dfrac{5-7i}{2-5i}=\dfrac{(5-7i)(2+5i)}{(2-5i)(2+5i)}=\dfrac{(5)(2)+(-7i)(5i) +(5)(5i)+(-7i)(2)}{2^2+5^2}\\\\=\dfrac{(10+35)+(24-14)i}{29}=\boxed{\dfrac{45}{29}+\dfrac{11}{29}i}

John had 5/8 of a pizza left after a party. He gave 3/8 of a pizza to his friends to take home and kept the rest.
lorasvet [3.4K]

I'm assuming your trying to find how much pizza he has left.

 You need to subtract the two fractions because the denominators are already the same.

When subtracting fractions, you leave the denominator and regularly subtract the numerator.

Your answer will be 2/8 which equals 1/4th
