Answer: OPTION A

Step-by-step explanation:

You can convert  30 kilograms to grams (1\ kilogram= 1,000\ grams), then:

(30\ kilograms)(\frac{1,000\ grams}{1\ kilogram})=30,000\ grams

Then, if a book in the bookcase has a mass of 400 grams and you need to find the number of books of the same mass that would take to equal the mass of the bookcase, you can divide the weight of the bookcase (in grams) by the weigth of one of these books.

Therefore:

books=\frac{30,000\ grams}{400\ grams}\\\\books=75

A small boat traveled 29.5 miles upstream in 2 hours. The same boat took 3 hours to travel 59.25 miles downstream. If the speed
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

  • boat speed: 17.25 mph
  • current: 2.5 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Upstream, the speed of the current (c) subtracts from the speed of the boat (b) to give the net speed. Downstream, the speed of the current adds. We can make use of the relation ...

  speed = distance/time

  b-c = 29.5/2 = 14.75 . . . . . miles/hour

  b+c = 59.25/3 = 19.75 . . . .miles/hour

Subtracting the first equation from the second, we get ...

  (b+c) -(b-c) = 19.75 -14.75

  2c = 5

  c = 2.5

Then either equation can be used to find b:

  b = 14.75 +c = 17.25

The speed of the boat in still water is 17.25 miles per hour; the speed of the current is 2.5 miles per hour.
