If you plot the points you can easily find the answer. (X,Y) The x-axis is the horizontal line and the y-axis is the vertical line.
Answer:
No
Step-by-step explanation:
Speed = Distance / Time
Distance = Speed*Time
For this problem, we should bear in mind that current speed has an impact on the boat speed...
for upstream, the boat goes against the current, and so its speed is
U = V - C
where V is the speed of the boat
C is the current speed
for downstream, it will be:
D = V + C
Convert the problem into mathematical equations:
4D + 3U = 116
3D + 4U = 108
4(V+C) + 3(V-C) = 116
4V + 4C + 3V -3C =116
7V + C = 116
3(V+C) + 4(V-C) = 108
3V + 3C + 4V - 4C = 108
7V - C = 108
Solving the equations:
7V + C = 116
7V - C = 108
14V = 224
V = 16km/hr —-> speed of boat
to get C:
7(16) + C = 116
C = 4km/hr
Answer:
No the ramp doesn’t meet the law. The slope is 4/50 which is 1/12.5
The slope of the ramp doesn’t meet the law because it’s slope is greater than 1/12. To adjust the ramp so that it meets the law, you could increase the height and/or the horizontal length to increase the slope so it is less than 1/12.
