Answer:

time upstream=24/8=3 hours

time downstream=24/12=2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

If R*T=D, and R is speed + or - current, how can you find the rate without the time, and how can you find the time without the rate?

THE KEY WAS WHEN WE WERE TOLD THAT IT TAKES ONE HOUR LONGER TO GO UPSTREAM THAN DOWNSTREAM BECAUSE T=D/R AND WE ARE TOLD THAT:

D/R(Upstream) minus 1 equals D/R (DOWNSTREAM)



Let x=rate of current

distance(d)=rate(r) times time(t) or d=rt or t=d/r

distance upstream=distance downstream=24 mi

rate upstream=10-x

rate downstream=10+x

time upstream=(distance upstream)/(rate upstream)=24/(10-x)

time downstream=(distance downstream)/(rate downstream)=24/(10+x)

Now, we are told that time upstream minus one hour equals time downstream. So our equation to solve is:

24/(10-x)-1=24/(10+x) Multiply both sides by (10-x)(10+x)

24(10+x)(10-x)/(10-x)-1(10-x)(10+x)=24(10-x)/(10+x)/(10+x) clear fractions


24(10+x)-(10-x)(10+x)=24(10-x) clear parens

240+24x-100-10x+10x+x^2=240-24x subtract 240 from and add 24x to both sides

240-240+24x+24x-100+x^2=240-240-24x+24x collect like terms

x^2+48x-100=0 ----------------quadratic equation in standard form

This equation can be factored:

(x+50)(x-2)=0

x=-50 mph----------------discount the negative value for speed

and

x=2 mph----------------------speed of the current

CK

10-x=10-2= 8 mph -----------------------speed upstream

10+x=10+2=12 mph--------------------------speed downstream

time upstream=24/8=3 hours

time downstream=24/12=2 hours

so 3-2=1----takes 1 hour longer upstream

There are less than 50 students in the class. Today, only 97.5% of the class is here. How many students are in this class?
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

the 100\% of students in the class are 40 students  

the  97.5\% of students here in class today are 39

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-------------> total students in the class

y------------- >number of the students here in class

so

y=0.975x

we know that

x< 50

the interval solution for x is all whole numbers belong to the interval

[0,49]

 the solution will be a number belonging to the interval  [0,49] such that when multiplying by 97.5\% it gives me a whole number 

see the attached excel table 

the 100\% of students in the class are 40 students  

the  97.5\% of students here in class today are 39

The dimensions of a regulation football field are 160 feet by 360 feet.A coach has drawn a scale model of the field on a blackbo
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

31.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

scale of an architecture is ratio of size of drawing to size of actual object.

Given size of football field is 160 feet by 360 feet

Given that on map shortest side is 14

since value of shortest side is 160 feet

then

scale defined for this football filed will be

scale = size of shortest side on model/size of shortest side of actual football field

scale = 14/160

Given that scale will remain same for longer side as

14/160= size of longer side on model/size of longer side of actual

14/160 =  size of longer side on model/360

thus,

size of longer side on model = (14/160) * 360

size of longer side on model = 14*360/160 = 31.5

Thus, the other side of model that is longer side is 31.5 cm

Pls Some Help me Asap Hot ta Get this done in 1st per
Kazeer [188]

    Ok, use the sum of triangle theorm all angles of the triangle has a sum of 180 degrees. B is 90 degrees because it labeled it self ABC the A angle seems by the degree to be at the top of the triangle and there needs to be a 90 degree angle in a right triangle. Now if you add 90 + 28 you get 118 degrees subtract that from the sum of all the angles ( 180 degrees), and get 62 degrees as angle C.  Angle A is 28 degrees, angle B is 90 degrees, angle C is 62 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d = distance of boat from the base of the lighthouse

Tan 10 = 25/d

d tan 10 = 25

d = 25/tan 10

d = 141.78 m
