Answer:
She has 42 pieces of wood each of 1 inch of length.
Step-by-step explanation:
Amy has 42 inches piece of wood.
She has to cut an inch.
After cutting pieces of inch each she counts the pieces to be 42.
Mathematically
Total length / unit lenght = Number of pieces
42 inches/ 1 inch= 42 pieces.
She has 42 pieces of wood each of 1 inch of length.
Answer:
1 mile/hr
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the Speed of the boat still in water = a
Speed of the current = b
We know from this formula that speed = distance/time
Hence,
A canoe traveled Downstream with the current and went a distance of 15 miles in three hours.
Downstream = a + b = 15/3
a + b = 5 .........Equation 1
On the return trip, the canoe traveled Upstream against the current. It took 5 hours to make the return trip.
Upstream = a - b = 15/5
a - b = 3 ..............Equation 2
Combining both Equation together
a + b = 5 .........Equation 1
a - b = 3 ..............Equation 2
Subtracting Equation 2 from Equation 1
2b = 2
b = 2/2
b = 1miles/hr
Since b = speed of the current which can also be called rate of the current, the rate of the current = 1 miles/hr
Answer:
up is equal to 5/ 6
left side is equal to 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
1/6 + 1/6+ 1/6+ 1/6+ 1/6= 5/6
1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4= 3/4
Let the initial money be x so by question,
3x/5 +1x/5+1200=x
or, 1200= x - 4x/5
or, 1200 = 1x/5
or, 6000= x
hence the initial money was 6000$
