A motorboat can maintain a constant speed of 13 miles per hour relative to the water. The boat makes a trip upstream to a certai

n point in 63 ​minutes; the return trip takes 15 minutes. What is the speed of the​ current?

Answer:

  8 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed in each direction is the speed of the boat with the speed of the current appropriately added. If x is the speed of the current, the upstream speed is 13-x; the downstream speed is 13+x.

The ratio of times is inversely proportional to the ratio of speeds, so we ahve ...

  15/63 = 5/21 = (13-x)/(13+x)

  5(13 +x) = 21(13 -x) . . . . . . . cross multiply

  26x = 13(21 -5) = 13·16

  x = 13·16/26 = 16/2 = 8

The speed of the current is 8 miles per hour.

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

9,460,528,400,000,000 can be rounded off to

9,000,000,000,000,000.

A trick you can use for these questions is count the number of zeroes at the end.

There are 15 zeroes, hence the answer is

9 \times 1 {0}^{15}

Proof:

1 {0}^{2}  = 100

1 {0}^{3}  = 1000

Hence, the number of zeroes is equal to the exponent.

Three and one-half yards of fabric is less than five and one-half yards of fabric.
jasenka [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Three and one-half yards of fabric i.e. 3\frac{1}{2}=\frac{7}{2} yards

and five and one-half yards of fabric is 5\frac{1}{2}=\frac{11}{2} yards

Difference between five and one-half yards and Three and one-half yards is

=2 yards which is positive

Thus it clear that \frac{7}{2} < \frac{11}{2}

Find the residual values, and use the graphing calculator tool to make a residual plot. A 4-column table with 5 rows. The first
Georgia [21]

Answer:

Solution-

We know that,

Residual value = Given value - Predicted value

The table for residual values is shown below,

Plotting a graph, by taking the residual values on ordinate and values of given x on abscissa, a random pattern is obtained where the points are evenly distributed about x-axis.

We know that,

If the points in a residual plot are randomly dispersed around the horizontal or x-axis, a linear regression model is appropriate for the data. Otherwise, a non-linear model is more appropriate.

As, in this case the points are distributed randomly around x-axis, so the residual plot show that the line of regression is best fit for the data set.

Hope this helps!
