Answer: The speed of the boat in still water is 6.5 mph.

The speed of the current is 2.5 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the speed of the boat in still water.

Let y represent the speed of the current.

A boat going upstream on The River averages 4 mph. Assuming it travelled against the current while going upstream, its total speed would be (x - y) mph. It means that

x - y = 4- - - - - - - - - - - -1

Going downstream, the boat averages 9 mph. Assuming it travelled with the current while going upstream, its total speed would be (x + y) mph. It means that

x + y = 9- - - - - - - - - - - -2

Adding both equations, it becomes

2x = 13

x = 13/2

x = 6.5 mph

Substituting x = 6.5 into equation 1, it becomes

6.5 - y = 4

y = 6.5 - 4

y = 2.5 mph

Need Assitance<br>*Show Work*​
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

66 2/3 %

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the students not in the 8th grade

24 - 8 = 16

16 students are not in the 8th grade

Take the fraction of the students not in the 8th grade over the total

16/24 = 2/3

Change to a decimal

.66666666666

Multiply by 100 to change to a percent

66.666666%

66 2/3 %

Given the geometric sequence where a1=1 and the common ratio is 6, what is the domain for n?​
kari74 [83]

We have been given that a geometric sequence's 1st term is equal to 1 and the common ratio is 6. We are asked to find the domain for n.

We know that a geometric sequence is in form a_n=a_1(r)^{n-1}, where,

a_n = nth term of sequence,

a_1 = 1st term of sequence,

r = Common ratio,

n = Number of terms in a sequence.

Upon substituting our given values in geometric sequence formula, we will get:

a_n=1\cdot (7)^{n-1}

Our sequence is defined for all integers such that n is greater than or equal to 1.

Therefore, domain for n is all integers, where n\geq 1.

Nathan is 3 years older than Olivia. Determine the equation if n represents the age of Nathan and o represents the age of Olivia
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer: A, n=o+3

Step-by-step explanation:

Nathan (n) is 3 years older than Olivia (o) so Nathan's age would equal Olivia's age plus 3 years.

Hope this helps :)
