Answer:

The speed in still water is 5 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

distance with current = 90 miles

distance against current = 10 miles

speed in still water = s

speed of current = 4 mph

speed with current = s + 4

speed against current = s - 4

time = t

speed = distance/time

distance = speed * time

With current:

90 = (s + 4) * t

Against the current:

10 = (s - 4) * t

We have a system of equations:

90 = (s + 4) * t

10 = (s - 4) * t

90 = ts + 4t

10 = ts - 4t

Subtract the second equation from the first equation.

80 = 8t

10 = t

t = 10

10 = t(s - 4)

10 = 10(s - 4)

1 = s - 4

s = 5

Answer: The speed in still water is 5 miles per hour.

The perimeter of a rectangle is 200 yards. what are the dimensions of the rectangle if the length is 80 yards more than the? wid
liq [111]
P = 2(L + W)
P = 200
L = W + 80

200 = 2(W + 80 + W)
200 = 2(2W + 80)
200 = 4W + 160
200 - 160 = 4W
40 = 4W
40/4 = W
10 = W.........the width is 10 yds

PLEASE HELP the formula m=12,000+12,000rt/12t gives keri's monthly loan payment where t is the annual interest rate and t is the
tatiyna

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula m = (12,000 + 12,000rt)/12t gives Keri's monthly loan payment, where r is the annual interest rate and t is the length of the loan, in years. Keri decides that she can afford, at most, a $275 monthly car payment. Give an example of an interest rate greater than 0% and a loan length that would result in a car payment Keri could afford. Provide support for your answer.

Answer: Let us assume an annual interest rate (r) = 10% = 0.1. The maximum monthly payment (m) Keri can afford is $275. i.e. m ≤ $275. Using the monthly loan payment formula, we can calculate a loan length that would result in a car payment Keri could afford.

m=\frac{12000+12000rt}{12t}\\ but\ m\leq275, \ and \ r=10\%=0.1\\275= \frac{12000+12000(0.1)t}{12t}\\275= \frac{12000}{12t} +\frac{12000(0.1)}{12t}\\275= \frac{1000}{t} + 100\\275-100= \frac{1000}{t} \\175= \frac{1000}{t} \\175t = 1000\\t= \frac{1000}{175}\\ t=5.72\ years

The loan must be at least for 5.72 years for an annual interest rate (r) of 10%
