A boat takes 4 hours to go 12 miles upstream. It can go 32 miles downstream in the same time. Find the rate of the current and t

he rate of the boat in still water.​ (Hint: Because the current pushes the boat when it is going​ downstream, the rate of the boat downstream is the sum of the rate of the boat and the rate of the current. The current slows down the boat when it is going​ upstream, so the rate of the boat upstream is the difference of the rate of the boat and the rate of the​ current.)

The speed upstream is the difference between the boat speed and the current speed. It is (12 mi)/(4 h) = 3 mph.

The speed downstream is the sum of the boat speed and the current speed. It is (32 mph)/(4 h) = 8 mph.

The speed of the boat is the average of these: (3 + 8)/2 = 5.5 mph.

The speed of the current is that less the difference: 5.5 - 3 = 2.5 mph.

_____

<u>Check</u>

Boat + Current = 5.5 + 2.5 = 8 mph

Boat - Current = 5.5 - 2.5 = 3 mph

Find two consecutive whole numbers that the square root of 105 lies between
erastovalidia [21]

Answer: 10 and 11, also -11 and -10

Sqrt 100 is well known to be 10

Sqrt 121 is 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Positive Sqrt is monotone increasing

So Sqrt 105 is between sqrt 100 and sqrt 121


Second answer

Sqrt 100 is less well known to also be -10

Negative sqrt is monotone decreasing

Sqrt 121 is also -11

Sqrt 105 is also between -121 and -100

Three pencils cost 75p altogether. how much will it cost to buy 6 pencils?
Svetllana [295]
The cost for six pencils would be a total of 150p
The reason why is if three pencils cost 75p and you want to know what the cost of six, since three is half of six you would do this (if 3=75p then 3*2=75p*2 which is 6=150p). As shown, you multiply each side by 2 or double each side

New Premium = Current Premium x (1 + 0.052)

New Premium = $543.00 x 1.052

New Premium = $571.24

What is the explicit formula for this sequence?<br> -7, -3, 1, 5, ...
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a1 = - 7

d = 4

an = a1 + (n - 1) * d

an = - 7 + (n - 1) * 4

an = - 7 + 4n - 4

an = -11 + 4n

Try this out. Let n = 3

a3 = -11 + 4*3

a3 = - 11 + 12

a3 = 1   Which is what the series says.
