Problem 4

c = speed of current
p = paddling speed in still water

Against current:
speed = p-c (start with paddling speed and subtract off current's speed)
speed = 2 (given)
p-c = 2
p = 2+c

With the current
speed = p+c (now the current is speeding things up, so we add on c)
speed = 3 (given)
p+c = 3
2+c+c = 3 ... plug in p = 2+c; solve for c
2+2c = 3
2+2c-2 = 3-2
2c = 1
c = 1/2
c = 0.5

Since c = 0.5, we can use this to find p
p = 2+c
p = 2+0.5
p = 2.5

So,
The speed of the river current is 0.5 mph
Rita's paddling speed in still water is 2.5 mph

==================================================

Problem 5

Terms to know:
headwind = wind that slows the plane down (wind is coming from the head of the plane flowing in the opposite direction of the plane's intended direction)
tailwind = wind that speeds the plane up (wind is coming from the tail of the plane flowing in the same direction of the plane's intended direction)

d = distance = 255 miles
p = speed of plane in still air
w = speed of wind

Against the wind (headwind), the plane travels 1.7 hours at some speed p-w. We start with the plane's speed in still air (p) and subtract off the wind speed because the wind is slowing the plane down. So the first equation is
(p-w)*1.7 = 255
since the plane travels 255 miles
I'm using the formula d = r*t
d = distance
r = rate or speed
t = time

Divide both sides of (p-w)*1.7 = 255 by 1.7 and we get p-w = 150
Then add w to both sides and we have p = 150+w

Similarly, the second equation is 
(p+w)*1.5 = 255
since the tailwind speeds the plane up from p to p+w, the time is 1.5 hrs and the distance is the same (255 mi)

Plug the equation p = 150+w into the second equation
(p+w)*1.5 = 255
(150+w+w)*1.5 = 255
(150+2w)*1.5 = 255
150*1.5+2w*1.5 = 255
225+3w = 255
225+3w-225 = 255-225
3w = 30
3w/3 = 30/3
w = 10

Use w = 10 to find p
p = 150+w
p = 150+10
p = 160

So,
wind speed = 10 mph
speed of plane in still air = 160 mph

Janet earns 7.55 per hour mowing lawns. Kelsey earns twice that amount per hour babysitting and ty earns 1.25 less per hour than
Artemon [7]
Janet = 7.55 x 15(hours) = 113.25
Kelsey = 15.10 x 15(hours) = 226.50
Ty = 13.85 x 15(hours) = 207.76

To gets Kelsey’s wage per hour you do 7.55 x 2 and to get ty you do 15.10(Kelsey’s wage per hour) - 1.25 which is 207.76

The fastest recorded speed for an eastern gray kangaroo is 40 mph. What was the
Ludmilka [50]

The kangaroo's speed in feet per second is 58.67 feet per second

<h3>What was the kangaroo's speed in feet per second?</h3>

The speed is given as:

Speed = 40 mph

Rewrite properly as

Speed = 40 miles per hour

1 mile = 5280 feet

So, we have

Speed = 40 * 5280 feet per hour

Evaluate

Speed = 211200 feet per hour

1 hour = 3600 seconds

So, we have:

Speed = 211200 feet per 3600 seconds

Evaluate the quotient

Speed = 58.67 feet per seconds

Hence, the kangaroo's speed in feet per second is 58.67 feet per seconds

The global surface water area is 361, 132,000 square metres. Calculate the volume of water needed to cause a 3mm in sea level.
vovangra [49]

Answer:

The volume of water is 396 cubic meter.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of water, A = 132000 square meter

Height, h = 3 mm = 0.003 m

The volume of water is given by

V = Area x height

V = 132000 x 0.003

V = 396 cubic meter.
