Answer:

2000 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

When the motorboat is moving downstream, its speed relative to the ground is 18 km/h, so its speed relative to the raft is 15 km/h.

When the motorboat is moving upstream, its speed relative to the ground is 12 km/h, so its speed relative to the raft is again 15 km/h.

Converted to m/min, the relative speed is:

15 km/h × (1000 m/km) × (1 h / 60 min) = 250 m/min

It takes the motorboat 16 minutes to travel to the front of the raft and back.  Since the speed is the same in both directions, the motorboat takes 8 minutes to travel the length of the raft.

So the length of the raft is 250×8 = 2000 meters.

Matthew is 7 years older than twice the age of his sister. If Matthew is 13, how old is his sister?
Iteru [2.4K]
Let sister be s.  Matthew, M

Matthew is 7years older than twice the age of his sister

M = 7 + 2s

13 = 7 + 2s.   7 crosses the equality to other side and becomes -7

13 - 7 = 2s

6 = 2s    Divide both sides by 2

6/2 = 2s/2

3 = s
