We use the formula : Displacement = Average Velocity * Time ;
17 = ( v + 8 ) * t ;
1 = ( v - 8 ) * t ;
where v = the velocity of the boat; t is the time from expression " ... in the same amount of the time he rows ....."
Then 17 / 1 = (v + 8) / ( v - 8 ) ;
v + 8 = 17( v - 8 );
v + 8 = 17v - 136 ;
144 = 16v ;
v = 144 / 16;
v = 9 mph ;
18 = 9 * x ;
x = 18 / 9 ;
x = 2 hours ;
The answer is 2 hours ;
Answer:
x < 6/7
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply both sides by 3 to get 7x < 6
Divide by 7
x < 6/7
This is the symmetric property of equality, and in a more general form it can be written as: if a=b then b=a.
<span>This is not to be confused with communicative property, which says that the order doesn't matter in some operations, such as addition, and can be written as a+b=b+a</span>
Answer:
The first two pieces are 5' 5" long; the last piece is 5' 2" long.
Step-by-step explanation:
If x is the length of one of the longer pieces, then the shorter one (in inches) is x-3. The total length of the three pieces is ...
x + x + (x-3) = 192
3x = 195 . . . . . . . . . add 3
x = 65 . . . . . . . . . . inches
65 inches = 5 ft 5 inches
The first two pieces are each 5' 5" long; the remaining piece is 5' 2" long.
Well, there are 100 pennies in a dollar, and 10 dimes in a dollar. So, the ratio could be 10:100, or 1:10.
