Let's call the number of elephants x.
x+4x=35
5x=35
x=7
So there are 7 elephants. There are four times as many monkeys.
7×4=28
There are 28 monkeys.

seraphim [82]

Answer:

The quantity of clover seeds in pounds to be added is 11.14

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the quantity of poppy seeds in pounds

y -----> the quantity of clover seeds in pounds

we know that

$24(x)+13(y)=20.70(x+y)$ -----> equation A

$x=26\ pounds$ ----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y

$24(26)+13(y)=20.70(26+y)$

$624+13y=538.2+20,70y$

$20.70y-13y=624-538.2$

$7.7y=85.8$

$y=11.14\ pounds$

therefore

The quantity of clover seeds in pounds to be added is 11.14

John has a boat that will travel at the rate of 15 kph in still water. He can go upstream for 35 km in the same time it takes to

Otrada [13]

Answer:

The boat traveling at 24 kph when John goes downstream.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

John has a boat that will travel at the rate of 15 kph in still water.

Let x be the speed of the current.

Speed of boat in upstream

$(15-x)\text{ kph}$

Speed of water in downstream

$(15+x)\text{ kph}$

Relation:

$\text{Speed} = \dfrac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}$

We have to find the speed of boat in downstream.

Time to travel upstream for 35 km = Time to travel 140 km downstream

$\displaystyle\frac{35}{15-x}=\frac{140}{15+x}\\\\35(15+x) = 140(15-x)\\525 + 35x = 2100 - 140x\\175x = 1575\\x = 9$

Thus, speed of current is 9 kph.

Speed of boat in downstream = 15 + 9 = 24 kph.

Thus, the boat traveling at 24 kph when John goes downstream.
