A boat takes 2 hours to travel 15 miles upriver against the current. if the rate of the boat in still water is 12 miles per hour

OLga [1]

Answer:

4.5 mph or 9/2 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the rate of the current

Formula: Distance = rate x time

where rate upstream =(12-x) and time =2 hours

15=(12-x)(2)

15=24–2x

2x=24–15

2x= 9

x=9/2=4.5 miles per hour (rate of current)

A long distance runner does a first lap around a track in exactly 50 seconds.As she tires.Each subsequent lap takes 20% longer t

madreJ [45]

Answer:

182 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Time taken for first lap is 50 seconds and each subsequent lap takes 20% longer than previous

Solution:

Time taken for first lap = 50 sec

For second lap

Each subsequent lap takes 20% longer than previous

Previous lap time = 50 sec

second lap = 50 + 20% of 50

second lap $=50+(\frac{20}{100}\times 50)$

second lap $= 50 + 10$

second lap $= 60\ sec$

For third lap

Each subsequent lap takes 20% longer than previous

Previous lap time = 60 sec

Third lap = 60 + 20% of 60

$Third\ lap = 60 + (\frac{20}{100}\times 60)$

$Third\ lap = 60+2\times 6$

$Third\ lap = 60+12$

$Third\ lap = 72\ sec$

Time taken for 3 laps is equal to sum of all three laps time.

$Tiem\ taken\ for\ 3\ lap = 50+60+72$

$Tiem\ taken\ for\ 3\ lap = 182\ sec$

Therefore, it takes 182 seconds (3 min, 2 seconds) to run three laps

Questions:

A clothing manufacturer uses the model a = √(f + 4) - √(36 - f) to estimate the amount of fabric to order from a mill. In the formula, a is the number of apparel items (in hundreds) and f is the number of units of fabric needed. If 400 apparel items will be manufactured , how many units of fabric should be ordered?

Answer:

32 units of fabrics

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$a = \sqrt{f + 4} - \sqrt{36 - f}$
