Suppose x is the rate at which the boat travels at still water.
let y be rate in moving water
up stream is x-y 
down stream is x+y
the 1/3(x-y)=5
1/5(x+y)=5
solve the system
x-y=15
x+y=25
add the equation to cancel y
we get 2x=40
x=20 
therefore the boat is moving at rate of 20 miles for hour in still water

mason used 1/6 of a gram of honey to make 1/12 of a pan of pudding. how many grams of honey are needed to make a full pan of pud
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

2 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

1/12 goes into 1 (representing a full pan) 12 times. This means that 12 spoons of the 1/6 grams are needed to make a full pan of pudding. So, you multiply 12 by 1/6, and that results in 2 grams. You need to have 2 grams of honey to make a full pan of pudding.

Two friends are going to the mall to buy pizza. One of the friends buys 1cheese slice and 2 pepperoni slices for $8.75. Her frie
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

The cost of each:

1 cheese slice = c = $3.75

1 pepperoni slice = p = $2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost:

1 cheese slice = c

1 pepperoni slice = p

Two friends are going to the mall to buy pizza.

One of the friends buys 1cheese slice and 2 pepperoni slices for $8.75.

c + 2p = $8.75.....Equation 1

c = $8.75 - 2p

Her friend purchases 2 chese slices and 3 pepperoni slices for $15.00.

2c + 3p = $15.00.....Equation 2

We substitute 8.75 - 2p for c in Equation 2

2(8.75 - 2p) + 3p = $15.00

17.5 - 4p + 3p = 15

Collect like terms

- 4p + 3p = 15 - 17.5

-p = -2.5

p = $2.5

c = $8.75 - 2p

c = $8.75 - 2(2.5)

c = $8.75 - 5.0

c = $3.75

The cost of each:

1 cheese slice = c = $3.75

1 pepperoni slice = p = $2.5

The slope of the line below is 2 use the coordinates of the labeled point to find a point slope equation of the line
yan [13]

Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is B. The problem says that the slope is 2 and it as the points (3,10) on its line. When looking at the graph, you can see that the line crosses at four on the y-intercept which is why four will be your constant. So, your equation in slope intercept form will become y=2x+4. With this, you can start eliminating the given answers.

You can immediately eliminate c and d because the 2 is negative when it isn't in its slope form. It leaves you with a and b.

When looking at both a and b you now have to look at what your y will become when you sinplify both of them. In choice a, the 2 multiplies with the 3 and gives you 6. Since you have to leave the y by itself you have to subtract 10 from both sides which will leave you with -4. Since your y-intercept isn't negative you know that a isnt the ansewr.

When checking b, you multiply the 2 and -3 to get -6. Since you have to leave the y by itself, you add 10 to each side and end up with 4 which is the same number that crosses the y-axis. and that is how you know it's the right answer.
