Answer:
6.11km/hr
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the speed that Kelli swims be represented by Y
Speed of the river = 5km/hr
Distance = Speed × Time
Kelli swam upstream for some distance in one hour
Swimming upstream takes a negative sign, hence:
1 hour ×( Y - 5) = Distance
Distance = Y - 5
She then swam downstream the same river for the same distance in only 6 minutes
Downstream takes a positive sign
Converting 6 minutes to hour =
60 minutes = 1 hour
6 minutes =
Cross Multiply
6/60 = 1/10 hour
Hence, Distance =
1/10 × (Y + 5)
= Y/10 + 1/2
Equating both equations we have:
Y - 5 = Y/10 + 1/2
Collect like terms
Y - Y/10 = 5 + 1/2
9Y/10 = 5 1/2
9Y/ 10 = 11/2
Cross Multiply
9Y × 2 = 10 × 11
18Y = 110
Y = 110/18
Y = 6.1111111111 km/hr
Therefore, Kelli's can swim as fast as 6.11km/hr still in the water.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The surface area of a sphere (which the earth is considered to be) = 4 pi r^2
pi = 3.14
r = 6340
Area = 4 * 3.14 * 6340 * 6340 = 504856736 square km.
You should either round this to 505,000,000 or express a value in scientific notation.
5.05 * 10^8
Answer:
f(2) = 16
or
y = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write out function
y = 6x + 4
Step 2: Define variable for problem
<em>x</em> = 2
Step 3: Plug into function f(x)
f(2) = 6(2) + 4
f(2) = 12 + 4
f(2) = 16
Step 4: Change f(2) to y
y = 16
