speed of current is 1.5 mi/hr
Answer:
let the rate in still water be x and rate of the current be y.
speed down the river is:
speed=distance/time
speed=14/2=7 mi/h
speed up the river is:
speed=(14)/(3.5)=4 mi/hr
thus total speed downstream and upstream will be:
x+y=7...i
x-y=4.......ii
adding the above equations i and ii we get:
2x=11
x=5.5 mi/hr
thus
y=5-5.5=1.5 mi/r
thus the speed in still waters is 5.5 mi/hr
speed of current is 1.5 mi/hr
Answer:
72.3 - 39.1 = 4tens - 7ones + 2tenth
Step-by-step explanation:
Give the expression 72.3 + (-39.1)
opening the parenthesis:
= 72.3 + (-39.1)
= 72.3 - 39.1
Breaking the decimal values into place values
72.3 = 7tens + 2units + 3tenth
72.3 = 7(10)+2(1)+3(1/10)
72.3 =70+2+0.3
Similarly for 39.1
39.1 = 3tens + 9units + 1tenth
39.1 = 3(10)+9(1)+1(1/10)
39.1 =30+9+0.1
72.3 - 39.1 = 70+2+0.3 - (30+9+0.1)
72.3 - 39.1 = 70+2+0.3 - 30-9-0.1
72.3 - 39.1 = 70-30+2-9+0.3-0.1
72.3 - 39.1 = 40 - 7 +0.2
72.3 - 39.1 = 4tens - 7ones + 2tenth
Answer: 59.92
Step-by-step explanation:
90 + 50 = 140
140 - 40% = 56
56 + 7% = 59.92
