a motorboat traveled for 2 hours with an 8km/h current. the return trip against the same current took 3 hours. find the speed of
the motorboat in still water.
1 answer:
Let x be the unknown speed, y the unknown distance.
distance equals speed times time.
"With" an 8kph current means our speed is x+8. 2 hours with an 8 kph current gets is a distance y:
y = 2(x + 8)
Against the current, speed x-8, took 3 hours to go y:
y = 3(x-8)
Equating,
2(x+8)=3(x-8)
2x + 16 =3x - 24
40 = x
Answer: 40 km/h
Check: 2(40+8)=96 km. 3(40-8)=3(32)=96 km. Equal, good.

Answer:
0.81
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 8 pints = 1 gallon
8 times 2= 16/19.68=0.813
each pint is 0.81 cents
We know that
<span>The formula for the area of a quadrilateral with perpendicular diagonals is
</span>A=(0.5)*(D1*D2)
A=58 in²
D1=AC=14.5 in
D2=BD=?
so
D2=2*A/D1-----------> 2*58/14.5-----------> D2=8 in
BD=D2=8 in
the answer is
BD=8 in
The lowest terms of what????!!!
