Answer:
<h2>a. 1</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
2560-1944= 616gallons
7 days in a week or 14 days in two weeks
616gallons / 14days = 44 gallons / 1 day
Notice in the fraction we have
(Gallons / days)
Now if you filled the take up the entire way
2560 gallons
We have gallons and the question wants the amount of days
Thus to cancel gallons we set the equation up as such
(2560 gallons) x (1 day / 44 gallons) = 58.18 days
Or 58 days
speed of current is 1.5 mi/hr
Answer:
let the rate in still water be x and rate of the current be y.
speed down the river is:
speed=distance/time
speed=14/2=7 mi/h
speed up the river is:
speed=(14)/(3.5)=4 mi/hr
thus total speed downstream and upstream will be:
x+y=7...i
x-y=4.......ii
adding the above equations i and ii we get:
2x=11
x=5.5 mi/hr
thus
y=5-5.5=1.5 mi/r
thus the speed in still waters is 5.5 mi/hr
speed of current is 1.5 mi/hr
Answer:69
Step-by-step explanation:
69•2= 138
69-11=58
58•3=174
174+138=312
