Answer:    The rate of boat is 60 kmh.

                  The rate of current is 5 kmh.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

Suppose the rate of boat in still water is : b kmh

Suppose the rate of current is  : c kmh

When the boat is going upstream, the relative speed will be : (b-c)

When the boat is going downstream, the relative speed will be: (b+c)

Boat travels 220 kilometers in 4 hours going upstream.

speed=\frac{distance}{time}

(b-c)=\frac{220}{4}   .................. equation (1)

It travels 260 kilometers going downstream in the same amount of time.

(b+c)=\frac{260}{4}  ................... equation (2)

Adding equation 1 and 2

b-c+b+c=\frac{220}{4}+\frac{260}{4}

2b=\frac{480}{4}

2b=120

b=60

Plugging the value of b as 60 in equation 2

60+c=\frac{260}{4}

60+c=65

c=5

Hence the rate of boat is 60 kmh.

Hence the rate of current is 5 kmh.

Hope it will help :)

The change of rate is
irakobra [83]

ROC is often used when speaking about momentum, and it can generally be expressed as a ratio between a change in one variable relative to a corresponding change in another; graphically, the rate of change is represented by the slope of a line. The ROC is often illustrated by the Greek letter delta.

Hope this helps!

Mary and Mike went to the store to buy colored pencils for their science class.mike bought a 12-pack for 1.69,and Mary bought a
sweet-ann [11.9K]

12-pack for 1.69 is a better buy

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that, Mike bought a 12-pack for 1.69 and Mary bought a 24-pack for 3.18

We have to find which is the better buy

First we have to find the unit rate

Unit rate is cost of 1 pack

<em><u>Mike bought a 12-pack for 1.69</u></em>

Therefore,

Cost of 12 pack = 1.69

Cost of 1 pack is found by dividing 1.69 by 12

cost\ of\ 1\ pack = \frac{1.69}{12} = 0.14083

Thus unit rate of Mike is 0.14083 dollar per pack

<em><u>Mary bought a 24-pack for 3.18</u></em>

Cost of 24 pack = 3.18

Cost of 1 pack is found by dividing 3.18 by 24

cost\ of\ 1\ pack = \frac{3.18}{24} = 0.1325

Thus unit rate of Mary is 0.1325 dollars

<em><u>On comparing both the unit rate</u></em>

0.14083>0.1325

Thus unit rate of Mike is larger

Thus, 12-pack for 1.69 is a better buy
