Speed = Distance / Time
Distance = Speed*Time
For this problem, we should bear in mind that current speed has an impact on the boat speed...
for upstream, the boat goes against the current, and so its speed is
U = V - C
where V is the speed of the boat
C is the current speed
for downstream, it will be:
D = V + C
Convert the problem into mathematical equations:
4D + 3U = 116
3D + 4U = 108
4(V+C) + 3(V-C) = 116
4V + 4C + 3V -3C =116
7V + C = 116
3(V+C) + 4(V-C) = 108
3V + 3C + 4V - 4C = 108
7V - C = 108
Solving the equations:
7V + C = 116
7V - C = 108
14V = 224
V = 16km/hr —-> speed of boat
to get C:
7(16) + C = 116
C = 4km/hr
Answer:
If b is 3, x=-1
Step-by-step explanation:
-2(3x-5)=16
use distributive property
-6x+10=16
take 10 away from both sides
-6x=6
divide both sides by -6
x=-1
Answer:
?
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
D 192
Step-by-step explanation:
used: new: total
4: 1 : 5
We have 240 stamps
240/5 = 48
Multiply each number by 48
used: new: total
4*48: 1*48 : 5*48
192 : 48 : 240
There are 192 used stamps and 48 new stamps in his collections
