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

Find the value of b. Then find the angle measures of the pentagon.
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

b = 90

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum the interior angles of the pentagon and equate to 540

Starting from the top and going clockwise

b + b + 45 + 90 + 2b - 90 + \frac{3}{2} b = 540 ← simplify left side

\frac{11}{2} b + 45 = 540 ( multiply through by 2 to clear the fraction )

11b + 90 = 1080 ( subtract 90 from both sides )

11b = 990 ( divide both sides by 11 )

b = 90

Thus

b + 45 = 90 + 45 = 135

2b - 90 = 2(90) - 90 = 180 - 90 = 90

\frac{3}{2} b = \frac{3}{2} × 90 = 135

The angle measure from the top clockwise are

90°, 135°, 90°, 90°, 135°

How do you understand what happens on a fraction number line and how do you know where the fraction is. Tell me how we will be a
frozen [14]

Answer:

  understand what the fraction means

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, you need to <em>understand what 2/3 means</em>. It means 1 whole has been divided into 3 equal parts, and you're concerned with 2 of those parts.

In the number line in the first attachment, the space between 0 and 1 has been divided into 3 equal parts. The decimal value (rounded) is shown at each tick mark. The point marked "2/3" is located at the second of those divisions, counting from zero.

__

The same fraction is located on the same number line in the second attachment. That number line is marked with divisions at intervals of 1/10, so there are 10 of them between 0 and 1. The value 2/3 is represented by the point that is (2/3)(10) = 6 2/3 of those intervals, so is between 0.6 and 0.7 on the number line.

__

If the number line were divided into 12ths, then the fraction 2/3 would be located at the 8th tick mark, counting from 0. (2/3)(12) = 8 That is shown in the third attachment.
