Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find two things-- the speed of the boat in still water and the speed of the current. Each of these things will be represented by a different variable:
B = speed of the boat in still water
C = speed of the current
Since we have two variables, we will need to find a system of two equations to solve.
How do we find the two equations we need?
Rate problems are based on the relationship Distance = (Rate)(Time).
Fill in the chart with your data (chart attached)
The resulting speed of the boat (traveling upstream) is B-C miles per hour. On the other hand, if the boat is traveling downstream, the current will be pushing the boat faster, and the boat's speed will increase by C miles per hour. The resulting speed of the boat (traveling downstream) is B+C miles per hour. Put this info in the second column in the chart. Now plug it into a formula! <u>Distance=(Rate)(Time) </u>Now solve using the systems of equations!
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
He's typing 40 words per minute.
110 words divided by 2.75 minutes.
40 x 4.25 minutes= 170
Answer:
x <24
Step-by-step explanation:
first cancel negative signs
then transfer 2 to right side
Negative exponents mean that you flip the number upside down
so -7^-2 would become 1/-7^2
-7^2 would be 49
so the answer is <em>1/49</em>
