Answer:

Skiing costs $30 per hour and Boating costs $51 per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let cost per hour of skiing be x and cost per hour of boating be y. Let's dissect the problem into 2 simultaneous equations.

<em><u>"John paid $222 for four hours of skiing and two hours boating":</u></em>

4x+2y=222

<em><u>"He paid $213 for two hours skiing and three hours boating":</u></em>

2x+3y=213

<em>Now, if we solve for x in the 2nd equation and plug it in the 1st equation, we will have the value for y</em>. Work shown below.

2x+3y=213\\2x=213-3y\\x=\frac{213-3y}{2}\\Equation 1: 4x+2y=222\\Substituting :\\4(\frac{213-3y}{2})+2y=222\\2(213-3y)+2y=222\\426-6y+2y=222\\426-222=6y-2y\\204=4y\\y=\frac{204}{4}=51

Hence, y = 51

<em>Now, substituting this y value into the 1st equation and solving for x will give us the value of x.</em>

First Equation: 4x+2y=222\\4x+2(51)=222\\4x+102=222\\4x=222-102\\4x=120\\x=\frac{120}{4}=30

Hence, skiing costs $30 per hour and boating costs $51 per hour.

An adult brain is about 140 mm wide and divided into two sections (called "hemispheres" although the brain is not truly spherica
Sedbober [7]

Answer: 3.61×10^5 A

Step-by-step explanation: Since the brain has been modeled as a current carrying loop, we use the formulae for the magnetic field on a current carrying loop to get the current on the hemisphere of the brain.

The formulae is given below as

B = u×Ia²/2(x²+a²)^3/2

Where B = strength of magnetic field on the axis of a circular loop = 4.15T

u = permeability of free space = 1.256×10^-6 mkg/s²A²

I = current on loop =?

a = radius of loop.

Radius of loop is gotten as shown... Radius = diameter /2, but diameter = 65mm hence radius = 32.5mm = 32.5×10^-3 m = 3.25×10^-2m

x = distance of the sensor away from center of loop = 2.10 cm = 0.021m

By substituting the parameters into the formulae, we have that

4.15 = 1.256×10^-6 × I × (3.25×10^-2)²/2{(0.021²) + (3.25×10^-2)²}^3/2

4.15 = 13.2665 × 10^-10 × I/ 2( 0.00149725)^3/2

4.15 = 1.32665 ×10^-9 × I / 2( 0.000058)

4.15 × 2( 0.000058) = 1.32665 ×10^-9 × I

I = 4.15 × 2( 0.000058)/ 1.32665 ×10^-9

I = 4.80×10^-4 / 1.32665 ×10^-9

I = 3.61×10^5 A

A woman is standing at the edge of a slow-moving river which is one mile wide, and she wishes to return to her campground on the
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

the best option would be to swim

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello! To solve this problem we must follow the following steps.

1. remember the concept of uniform motion with constant speed, which establishes the following equation

t=\frac{X}{V}

where

t=time

x=distance

V=speed

2. Calculate the time it takes to swim and calculate the time it takes to walk

walking:

x=10mile

v=5milles/h

t=\frac{10}{5} =2h

swimming

x=1mile

v=3milles/h

t=\frac{1}{3} =0.3h

3. Compare both results and choose the one with the least time.

as you can see it takes less time swimming, so this would be the best way
