A motorboat takes 5 hours to travel 200 miles going upstream. The return trip takes 4 hours going downstream. What is the rate o

f the boat in still water and what is the rate of the current?

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 :)

Ashley and Keely shared some Hershey Kisses in the ratio of 5:2. If Keely had 12 Hershey Kisses, how many did Ashley have?​
wolverine [178]

Answer:

Ashely had 30 kisses! Muah!

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of Ashely to Keely is 5 : 2 and we know Keely had 12. Keely represents the 2 in this ratio, and how do we get from 2 to 12? We multiply by 6. We have to multiply by 6 on the other side too then. 5 times 6 is 30, so Ashely had 30 hershey kisses.

In real life, not in ratio form, Ashely had 30 kisses and Keely had 12.

Please mark brainliest if possible, have a nice day! :)

The Versatech Corporation has decided to produce three new products. Five branch plants now have excess production capacity. The
RSB [31]

Answer: provided in the explanation segment

Step-by-step explanation:

here i will give a step by step analysis of the question;

A: Optimization Formulation

given Xij = X no. of units of product i manufactured in Plant j, where i = 1,2,3 and J = 1,2,3,4,5

Objective function: Minimize manufacturing cost (Z)

Z = 31 X11 + 29 X12 + 32X13 + 28X14 + 29 X15 + 45 X21 + 41 X22 + 46X23 + 42X24 + 43 X25 + 38 X31 + 35 X32 + 40X33

s.t

X11 + X12 + X13 + X14 + X15 = 600

X21 + X22 + X23 + X24 + X25 = 1000

X31 + X32 + X33 = 800

X11 + X21 + X31 <= 400

X12 + X22 + X32 <= 600

X13 + X23 + X33 <= 400

X14 + X24 ​​​​​​ <= 600

X15 + X25 <= 1000

Xij >= 0 for all i,j

B:

Yes, we can formulate this problem as a transportation problem because in transportation problem we need to match the supply of source to demand of destination. Here we can assume that the supply of source is nothing but the manufacturing capability of plant and demand of destination is similar to the demand of products.

cheers i hope this helps!!

0.45m-9=0.9m, what is the least power of ten you could multiply by to write an equivalent equation with integer coefficients?
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

m = -20

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

9

Simplify ——

10

Equation at the end of step 1 :

45 9

((——— • m) - 9) - (—— • m) = 0

100 10

Step 2 :

9

Simplify ——

20

Equation at the end of step 2 :

9 9m

((—— • m) - 9) - —— = 0

20 10

Step 3 :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

3.1 Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 20 as the denominator :

9 9 • 20

9 = — = ——————

1 20

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

3.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

9m - (9 • 20) 9m - 180

————————————— = ————————

20 20

Equation at the end of step 3 :

(9m - 180) 9m

—————————— - —— = 0

20 10

Step 4 :

Step 5 :

Pulling out like terms :

5.1 Pull out like factors :

9m - 180 = 9 • (m - 20)

Calculating the Least Common Multiple :

5.2 Find the Least Common Multiple

The left denominator is : 20

The right denominator is : 10

Number of times each prime factor

appears in the factorization of:

Prime

Factor Left

Denominator Right

Denominator L.C.M = Max

{Left,Right}

2 2 1 2

5 1 1 1

Product of all

Prime Factors 20 10 20

Least Common Multiple:

20

Calculating Multipliers :

5.3 Calculate multipliers for the two fractions

Denote the Least Common Multiple by L.C.M

Denote the Left Multiplier by Left_M

Denote the Right Multiplier by Right_M

Denote the Left Deniminator by L_Deno

Denote the Right Multiplier by R_Deno

Left_M = L.C.M / L_Deno = 1

Right_M = L.C.M / R_Deno = 2

Making Equivalent Fractions :

5.4 Rewrite the two fractions into equivalent fractions

Two fractions are called equivalent if they have the same numeric value.

For example : 1/2 and 2/4 are equivalent, y/(y+1)2 and (y2+y)/(y+1)3 are equivalent as well.

To calculate equivalent fraction , multiply the Numerator of each fraction, by its respective Multiplier.

L. Mult. • L. Num. 9 • (m-20)

—————————————————— = ——————————

L.C.M 20

R. Mult. • R. Num. 9m • 2

—————————————————— = ——————

L.C.M 20

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

5.5 Adding up the two equivalent fractions

9 • (m-20) - (9m • 2) -9m - 180

————————————————————— = —————————

20 20

Step 6 :

Pulling out like terms :

6.1 Pull out like factors :

-9m - 180 = -9 • (m + 20)

Equation at the end of step 6 :

-9 • (m + 20)

————————————— = 0

20

Step 7 :

When a fraction equals zero :

7.1 When a fraction equals zero ...

Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.

Now,to get rid of the denominator, Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator.

Here's how:

-9•(m+20)

————————— • 20 = 0 • 20

20

Now, on the left hand side, the 20 cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.

The equation now takes the shape :

-9 • (m+20) = 0

Equations which are never true :

7.2 Solve : -9 = 0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

7.3 Solve : m+20 = 0

Subtract 20 from both sides of the equation :

m = -20

One solution was found :

m = -20
