Answer:
Current speed is 40mph
Step-by-step explanation:
We firstly need to know what is intended by upstream and downstream. When the boat travels in the direction of the current (horizontal movement of the water), we say it is moving downstream otherwise it is moving upstream.
Let's assume the speed of the boat is A and that of the current is B, then the speed when it moves dowstream would be A + B and the speed if it moves upstream would be A – B.
In this question, we know that the speed of the boat is 40mph. Given that it takes the same time to travel 8miles upstream as it does to travel 24miles downstream, we have
Speed upstream = 8/t
Speed downstream = 24/t
Respectively.
Let speed of current be X, then
Speed downstream = 40 + X
Speed upstream = 40 – X
From the question we have:
(40 + x)/24 = (40 – X)/8
(40 + x)/3 = (40 – x)/1
3(40 – x) = 40 + X
120 – 3x = 40 – X
120 – 40 = 3x – X
2x = 80
X = 40.
Therefore, current speed is 40mph
Let s=number of seeds and t=number of days...
st=120 and (s+10)(t-2)=120
From the first we can say t=120/s, now using this value of t in the second equation gives us:
(s+10)(120/s-2)=120
(s+10)(120-2s)/s=120
(s+10)(120-2s)=120s
120s-2s^2+1200-20s=120s
2s^2+20s-1200=0
s^2+10s-600=0
(s+30)(s-20)=0, since s>0
s=20, and since she planted s+10 seeds per day to finish two days earlier:
20+10=30
She planted 30 seeds per day.
45 feet.
Absolute value is the distance of a number from 0. Say 0 is the surface of the ocean, then the diver is 45 feet away from it. Either from above or below, they are the same distance away.
Answer:
7.6

Okay, so if Dave buys 4 slices of one kind and pays $6.00
$6 / 4 = $1.50 per slice
So the correct answer is whichever pizza is $1.50 per slice.
Hope that helps!
