Mathematics

Answer:

k = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Cross multiply</u>

k/6 = 15/18

k(18) = 6(15)

<em>18k = 90</em>

<u>Step 2:  Divide both sides by 18</u>

18k / 18 = 90 / 18

<em>k = 5</em>

Answer:  k = 5

<u>Another way to do it is to multiply both sides by 6</u>

k/6 * 6 = 15/18 * 6

k = 90 / 18

<em>k = 5</em>

Answer: 5

Step-by-step explanation: To solve for <em>k</em> in the given proportion, we use the means-extremes property. The product of the extremes, (k)(18), equals the product of the means, (6)(15).

So we have (k)(18) or 18k = (6)(15) or 90.

Now we have the equation 18k = 90.

Dividing both sides by 18, <em>k = 5</em>.

It's a good idea to check the answer in these types of problems so if we plug a 5 back in for <em>k</em> in the original proportion, we have \frac{(5)}{6}= \frac{15}{18} which is a true statement since 15/18 reduces to 5/6.

A boat can travel with a speed of 13 km/hr in still water. If the speed of the stream is 4 km/hr, find the time taken by the boa
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

t=4h

Steps below

Step-by-step explanation:

We know:

speed of boat with respect to earth:  13  km

speed of stream with respect to earth:  4 km

13 km/h + 4 km/h = 17 km/h The time to travel 68 km with this speed is thus t = 68 km 17 km h = 4 h
