Answer:

  22 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Against the current, the boat's rate of travel is ...

  (120 mi)/(6 h) = 20 mi/h

With the current, the boat's rate of travel is ...

  (120 mi)/(5 h) = 24 mi/h

___

The sum of boat speed (b) and current speed (c) is 24 mph. The difference is 20 mph. This lets us write the equations ...

  b + c = 24

  b - c = 20

Adding these two equations together, we get ...

  2b + 0c = 44

  b = 22 . . . . . . . . divide by 2

The rate of the boat in still water is 22 miles per hour.

Answer:

J(2, 5 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the section formula

x_{J} = \frac{1(-2)+2(4)}{2+1} = \frac{-2+8}{3} = \frac{6}{3} = 2

y_{J} = \frac{1(1)+2(7)}{2+1} = \frac{1+14}{3} = \frac{15}{3} = 5

Thus J = (2, 5 )

dangina [55]

The picnic area is 20 inches wide in the drawing in her scale of 1 inch : 4 yards.

<h3>What is unitary method ?</h3>

Unitary method is a technique for first solving the value of a single digit unit and from there we can find the value of any given unit.

According to the given question lillian drew a scale drawing of a county park. the scale she used was 1 inch : 4 yards.

The picnic area is 80 yards wide in real life.

∴ The width of the picnic area in here drawing in inches will be

= 80/4 inches.

= 20 inches.
