A boat takes 4 hours to go 20 miles upstream. It can go 32 miles downstream in the same time. Find the rate of the current and t

KonstantinChe [14]

Let the boat speed in still water be b.
Let the current speed be c.
The speed going upstream is 20/4 = 5 mph.
The speed going downstream is 32/4 = 8 mph.
b - c = 5 ........(1)
b + c = 8 .......(2)
Adding equations (1) and (2) we get:
2b = 13
b = 13/2 = 6.5
Plugging in the value for b into equation (1) we find c = 1.5.
The boat speed in still water is 6.5 mph and the current speed is 1.5 mph.

For altitudes up to 36,000 feet, the relationship between ground temperature and atmospheric

Verizon [17]

Answer:

The equation for a is $a=-\frac{2000}{7}*(t-g)$

The altitute is 101,428.57 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that the relationship between ground temperature and atmospheric temperature can be described by the formula

t = -0.0035a +g

where:

t is the atmospheric temperature in degrees Fahrenheit
a is the altitude, in feet, at which the atmospheric temperature is measured
g is the ground temperature in degrees Fahrenheit.

Solving the equation for a:

-0.0035a +g=t

-0.0035a= t - g

$a=\frac{t-g}{-0.0035}$

$a=-\frac{2000}{7}*(t-g)$

<u><em>The equation for a is </em></u> $a=-\frac{2000}{7}*(t-g)$ <u><em></em></u>

If the atmospheric temperature is -305 °F and the ground temperature is 50 °F, then t= -305 °F and g= 50 °F

Replacing in the equation for a you get:

$a=-\frac{2000}{7}*(-305-50)$

$a=-\frac{2000}{7}*(-355)$

a= 101,428.57

<u><em>The altitute is 101,428.57 feet</em></u>

Determine the quotient: 2 4/7 ÷ 1 3/6

Scilla [17]

First we must change these numbers to improper fractions:

$2\frac{4}{7}=\frac{18}{7}$

$1\frac{3}{6}=\frac{9}{6}$

So then we set it up:

$\frac{18}{7}$ ÷ $\frac{9}{6}$

When we divide fractions like this, we must flip the second fraction and change the sign from division to multiplication like so:

$\frac{18}{7}*\frac{6}{9}$

Then we solve:

$\frac{108}{63}$

Then if we divide the numerator and the denominator by 9, we get:

$\frac{12}{7}$ or, in mixed-number form, $1\frac{5}{7}$ .
