Answer:
ill split them all into halves, so at least half of everyone can come along
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x--------> <span>the speed of the boat in mph
we know that
</span>going upstream the speed is x-7
<span>going downstream the speed is x+7
</span>
let the distance be d
<span>time to go upstream = d/(x-7) </span>
<span>time to go downstream = d/(x+7)
</span>
time going upstream is 3 times going downstream
so
<span>3d/(x+7) = d/(x-7) </span>
<span>divide by d </span>
<span>3/(x+7) = 1/(x-7) </span>
<span>3x-21 = x+7 </span>
<span>2x = 28 </span>
<span>x = 14
</span>
the answer is
<span>the speed of the boat in still water is 14 mph</span>
Answer:
C. 20480
Step-by-step explanation:
so the equation is (60x3) divided by 15 because there are 3 minutes and 60 seconds in each minute and the bacteria doubles every 15 seconds so when you get your answer (12) that is how many times you will double 5.
<em>Answer:</em>
–6.8
<em>Method:</em>
Counting backwards from –7 to –6.5
