<span>Traveled Downstream a distance of 33 Mi and then came right back. If the speed of the current was 12 mph and the total trip took 3 hours and 40 minutes.
Let S = boat speed in still water then (s + 12) = downstream speed (s -12) = upstream speed
Given Time = 3 hours 40 minutes = 220 minutes = (220/60) h = (11/3) h Time = Distance/Speed
33/(s +12) + 33/(s-12) = 11/3 3{33(s-12) + 33(s +12)} = 11(s+12) (s -12) 99(s -12 + s + 12) = 11(</span> s^{2} + 12 s -12 s -144) 99(2 s) = 11(s^{2} -144) 198 s/11 = (s^{2} -144) 18 s = (s^{2} -144) (s^{2} - 18 s - 144) = 0 s^{2} - 24 s + 6 s -144 =0 s(s- 24) + 6(s -24) =0 (s -24) (s + 6) = 0 s -24 = 0, s + 6 =0 s = 24, s = -6 Answer) s = 24 mph is the average speed of the boat relative to the water.
Answer:
- True for Co-Prime Numbers
- False for Non Co-Prime Numbers
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>STATEMENT:</u> The LCM of two numbers is the product of the two numbers.
This statement is not true except if the two numbers are co-prime numbers.
Two integers a and b are said to be co-prime if the only positive integer that divides both of them is 1.
<u>Example: </u>
- Given the numbers 4 and 7, the only integer that divides them is 1, therefore they are co-prime numbers and their LCM is their product 28.
- However, consider the number 4 and 8. 1,2 and 4 divides both numbers, they are not co-prime, Their LCM is 8 which is not the product of the numbers.
<span>The correct answer is 0.385.
Explanation<span>:
Decimals deal with powers of 10, such as 10, 100, 1000, etc. We can change this to a power of 10 by dividing both top and bottom by 2; this will give us 100 in the denominator.
77/2=38.5, so we have 38.5/100.
Dividing by 100 is the same as moving the decimal two places to the left, so we have 0.385.</span></span>
