Answer:
The speed in still water is 5 miles per hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
distance with current = 90 miles
distance against current = 10 miles
speed in still water = s
speed of current = 4 mph
speed with current = s + 4
speed against current = s - 4
time = t
speed = distance/time
distance = speed * time
With current:
90 = (s + 4) * t
Against the current:
10 = (s - 4) * t
We have a system of equations:
90 = (s + 4) * t
10 = (s - 4) * t
90 = ts + 4t
10 = ts - 4t
Subtract the second equation from the first equation.
80 = 8t
10 = t
t = 10
10 = t(s - 4)
10 = 10(s - 4)
1 = s - 4
s = 5
Answer: The speed in still water is 5 miles per hour.
Answer:
The answer is 8/5 or 8 out of 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to solve this you need to first add the number of envelopes together to get the sum of how many envelopes there are, 1 + 3 + 2 + 2 = 8. Next you add the amount of blue and green envelopes together 3 + 2 = 5. The total number of envelopes is 8, and 5 out of the 8 are green or blue, therefore you will have a 8 out of 5 chance of picking one of those colors.
The zero product property tells us that if the product of two or more factors is zero, then each one of these factors CAN be zero.
For more context let's look at the first equation in the problem that we can apply this to:

Through zero property we know that the factor

can be equal to zero as well as

. This is because, even if only one of them is zero, the product will immediately be zero.
The zero product property is best applied to
factorable quadratic equations in this case.
Another factorable equation would be

since we can factor out

and end up with

. Now we'll end up with two factors,

and

, which we can apply the zero product property to.
The rest of the options are not factorable thus the zero product property won't apply to them.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
hello :
√(5/4)= √5/ √4 =√5/2 = (1/2)√5
3+√5/4−√5 = 3+(1/2)√5 so : a=3 and b= 1/2
What we need to know is how much is 1/3 of 25 2/5.
We will be multiplying fraction by a fraction and for this, it's good to change mixed numbers into improper fractions:
25 2/5=

and now we multiply it by 1/3:

and that's the answer: the basketball equipment weights 7 4/5 pounds.
