A log raft is moving downstream at a speed of 3 km/h. To insure that there are no river jams a supervisor travels along the raft

on a motor boat speed of which in still water is 15 km/h. What is the length of the log raft, if it takes the supervisor 16 minutes to travel from one end of the raft to another and back?

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.

Answer:

16, see below :)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

We can use the pythagorean theorem because one of the angles is 90 degrees. According to the theorem, a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a is 12, b is unknown, and c is 20

Now we use the theorem

12^2 + b^2 = 20^2

144 + b^2 = 400

b^2 = 256

b = sqrt(256)

b = 16

The output of a function is 5 more than 2 times the input. Find the input when the output is 17.
Tanya [424]

Answer:

<em>The input when the output is 17 is x=6.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Functions</u>

Assume the input is called x and the output is the function f(x). Two times the input is 2x. 5 more than that is 2x+5.

Knowing the output of the function is 5 more than 2 times the input, we can write the function as:

f(x)=2x+5

Now find the input x when the output is 17:

17=2x+5

Swap sides of the equation:

2x+5=17

Subtract 5:

2x=17-5=12

Divide by 2:

x=12/6=6

The input when the output is 17 is x=6.

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

The mode of a data set, is the value that occurs the most often. There can be multiple modes, if two values have the same amount of frequency in a data set as well as having the highest frequency. So in this case case it appears there is only 1 mode with that being 6, since it appears 3 times.  with no other value appearing this much in the data set.
