Answer:

Correct answer: V₁ boat = 16 km/h and V₂ current = 4 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

If we take speed (velocity) of the boat as V₁ and speed of the current V₂

Let us form equations:

Traveling down the current  V₁ + V₂ = 60/3 = 20 km/h

Traveling against the current  V₁ - V₂ = 60/5 = 12 km/h

V₁ - V₂ = 12

V₁ + V₂ = 20

If we add up the left and right sides of the equations we get:

2 V₁ = 32  =>    V₁ = 32/2 = 16 km/h

from the second equation we get:

V₂ = 20 - V₁ = 20 - 16 = 4 km/h

V₂ = 4 km/h

Explanation:

Unclear question. But I inferred this to be clear rendering of your question;

1) It is considered a circle and a certain point. The expressions dot inside the circle, dot on circle, or dot outside the text describe the position of a dot relative to a circle. In figure 2 are drawn: a circle C of center O, points on the circle, points outside the circle and points inside the circle. a) Name the points inside the circle; b) Name the points that belong to the circle; c) Name the points outside the circle.

2) Consider any point P and a circle C of center O and radius r. Compare the distance OP with the radius of the circle if: a) The point is inside the circle; b) The point is on the circle; c) The point is outside the circle.

Write the fraction 8/9 as a percent round to the nearest hundredth of a percent were necessary?
Flura [38]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

To turn a fraction into a percent, you divide the numerator by the denominator.

8 divided by 9 = .8 repeated

To turn it into a percent, you move the decimal to the right 2 spaces.

.8 turns into 88.8 repeated

Then you round to the nearest hundredth

88.8 repeated rounds to 88.89.
