Two rafts are traveling In opposite directions on a straight river. The raft going with the current is traveling at a speed of 1

2 mph. The raft going against the current is traveling at a speed of 70 miles per hour. Both rafts travel the river for two hours. Which equation represents the situation? Assume the raft traveling with the current travels X miles in the raft traveling against the current travels y miles.
A. 12/x - 7/y = 1/2
B. 12x + 7y = 2
C. x/12 - y/7 = 2
D. x/12 + y/7 = 4
E. 12x + 7y = 4

Time =(distance)/speed
Time taken by the raft going with the current to travel x miles is:
12/x hours
Time taken by the raft going against the wind is:
7/y
Total time taken for both raft is 4 hours thus:
12/x+7/y=4
hence the answer is:
<span>D. x/12 + y/7 = 4</span>

The propeller blades on a submarine have a radius of 6 feet. At full speed, they turn at 120 revolutions per minute. What is the
bogdanovich [222]

Using proportions, it is found that the angular velocity at the tip of the blade is of 753.98 radians per minute.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

Each revolution has 2\pi radians, hence in one minute, the 120 revolutions will have a measure in radians of:

M = 120 x 2pi = 240pi = 753.98

Hence the angular velocity is of 753.98 radians per minute.

The paint mixer wants to mix paint that is 30% gloss with paint that is 15% gloss to make 3.75 gallons of paint that is 20% glos
Kipish [7]

The paint mixer should mix 1.238 gallon paint that is 30 % gloss and 2.512 gallon paint that is 15 % gloss to get 3.75 gallon of paint that is 20 % gloss.

In this question we must determine the correct volumes of each paint to obtain a 20 % gloss with paint by means of weighted averages:

c_{r} = x\cdot c_{a} +(1-x)\cdot c_{b} (1)

Where:

  • x - Proportion of the paint that is 30 % gloss.
  • c_{a} - Concentration ratio of the paint that is 30 % gloss.
  • c_{b} - Concentration ratio of the paint that is 15 % gloss.
  • c_{r} - Resulting concentration ratio

If we know that c_{a} = 0.3, c_{b} = 0.15 and c_{r} = 0.2, then the proportion of the paint that is 30 % gloss is:

0.2 = 0.3\cdot x +(1-x)\cdot 0.15

0.2 = 0.15\cdot x+0.15

0.15\cdot x = 0.05

x = 0.33

And the quantity of gallons needed of each paint are:

Paint (30 % gloss)

V_{a} = 0.33\cdot (3.75\,gal)

V_{a} = 1.238\,gal

Paint (15 % gloss)

V_{b} = V-V_{a}

V_{b} = 3.75\,gal-1.238\,gal

V_{b} = 2..512\,gal

The paint mixer should mix 1.238 gallon paint that is 30 % gloss and 2.512 gallon paint that is 15 % gloss to get 3.75 gallon of paint that is 20 % gloss.

Ok for this question you have to solve for m and show work
konstantin123 [22]
10 = 2/3m - 3/2m
2/3m - 3/2m = 10
m ( 2/3 - 3/2 ) = 10
-5/6m = 10
5m = -60
m = -12
