Answer:

The time it takes Ms. Croft to reach the cruise ship by speedboat = 6.11 hours

The time it takes Ms. Croft to reach the cruise ship by helicopter = 6.25 hours

since it takes less time for Ms. Croft to reach the cruise ship by taking the speedboat, her best choice to retrieve the artifact is to take the speedboat.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The elapsed time by which Ms. Croft missed the boat = 5 hours

The speed of the cruise ship = 528 mi/day

The speed of the speedboat = 100 miles in 2.5 hours

The speed of the helicopter = 90 mph

The time it would take Ms. Croft to arrive at the harbor = 3.5 hours

Therefore, we have;

The cruise ship's speed = 528 miles per 24 hours = 528/24 mph = 22 mph

The location of the cruise after the first 5 hours = 5 × 22 = 110 miles

The speed of the speedboat = 100 miles per 2.5 hours = 100/2.5 = 40 mph

By traveling with a speed boat

The time at which Ms. Croft will intercept the cruise ship is given by the following relation;

40 mph × t = 22 mph × t + 110 miles

Which gives;

40 mph × t - 22 mph × t = 110 miles

18 mph = 110 miles

t = 110 miles/(18 mph) = 55/9 hours ≈ 6.11 hours

By taking the helicopter, we have;

Upon arrival at the harbor, after 3.5 hours, we find

90 mph × t = 22 mph × t + 22 mph × 3.5 hours + 110 miles

90 mph × t - 22 mph × t = 22 mph × 3.5 hours + 110 miles

68 mph × t = 77 miles + 110 miles = 187 miles

t = 187 miles/(68 mph) = 11/4 hours = 2.75 hours

The total time it takes Ms. Croft to reach the cruise ship by taking the helicopter = 3.5 + 2.75 = 6.25 hours

Therefore, since it takes less time for Ms. Croft to reach the cruise ship by taking the speedboat, her best choice to retrieve the artifact is to take the speedboat.

In a right angle,the altitude to a 6ft hypotenuse.Find the length of the altitude and each leg.
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:a=3.6 and b=4.8

Step-by-step explanation:(a^2)+(b^2)=(c^2)

Where c is hypotenuse is equal to 6. A right triangle is also known as a 3,4,5 triangle where the 2 legs are 3 and 4 and hypotenuse is 5. Find the factor in size difference by dividing your hypotenuse of 6 by the hypotenuse of 5 you get 1.2. Now multiply the 3 and 4 by 1 2 to get your answers of 3.6 and 4.8.

To check work simply plug in your legs as a and b

(3.6^2)+(4.8^2)=(6^2)

(12.96)+(23.04)=(36)

5. Maria is tracking the number of miles she runs in one week. She is using the track at her
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

0.00310 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Maria runs 5 m each week. We need to find how miles she run. It means we need to convert meters to miles. The relation between meter and yards is as follows :

1 meter = 1.09361 yards

Also, 1 mile = 1760 yards

It means,

1 mile = 1609.34 m

1 m = (1/1609.34) miles

5\ m=\dfrac{5}{1609.34}\ \text{miles}\\\\=0.00310\ \text{miles}

So, she will cover 0.00310 miles.

Two dressmakers, Sue and Anne, sewed costumes for a local theater production. Sue sewing alone for 10 hours sewed some of the co
crimeas [40]

Answer:

Sue would have taken 15 hours to sew all the costumes.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 10 hours, Sue sewed 5 costumes (1 every 2 hours).

Sue= 5 costumes

Sue sewed in 10 hours, twice as many costumes as Anne in 16 hours. Then 5 is twice costumes than Anne produced. Therefore, Anne sewed 2.5 costumes.  

Anne: 2.5 costumes  

In total they had to sew 5+2.5= 7.5 costumes. Then Sue would have taken 7.5*2= 15 hours to sew them all.
