Let speed of the boat in still water = x miles per hour
Let speed of the current = y miles per hour
When water and current both flow in same direction then effective speed will be sum of both speeds that is (x+y)
now plug the given values in formula speed=distance/time
we get equation:
(x+y)=160/8
or x+y=20...(i)
When water and current both flow in opposite direction then effective speed will be difference of both speeds that is (x-y)
now plug the given values in formula speed=distance/time
we get equation:
(x-y)=160/40
or x-y=4
or x=4+y...(ii)
plug value of x into (i)
4+y+y=20
4+2y=20
2y=16
y=8
plug value of y into (ii)
x=4+8=12
Hence final answer is given by:
Speed of the boat in still water = 12 miles per hour
Speed of the current = 8 miles per hour
Answer:
1. To find the volume of a rectangular prism, multiply its 3 dimensions: length x width x height. The volume is expressed in cubic units.
Step-by-step explanation:
X = -6/29 is the correct answer
Add 2 3/4 and 2 1/2 and you’ll get ur answer. area means total and when u see area, it means add
Mr.Jones charges $800 per lesson and requires 3 lessons
That means mr Jones will charge Samantha 800x3 = $2400 in total.
Mr. Police charges $62 per lesson and requires 4 lessons,
62x4 = $248 in total.
Since mr. Police charges less than mr.Jones, it would be a better deal for Samantha.
IN CASE YOU WROTE THE QUESTION WRONG AND MR JONES CHARGES $80 PER LESSON
In that case it would be 80x3 = $240 in total
mr jones would charge less now and it would be better deal for Samantha.
