Answer:
We can compute this in 2 ways:
305 downwind - 260 still air = 45 mph wind velocity
260 still air - 215 downwind = 45 mph wind velocity
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
LCM is 504. GCF is 42
Step-by-step explanation:
135
cross multiply 9*20 then divide by 8
Remark
You cannot give an answer to this unless you are give the fastest speed of a swimmer. That stat is not an easy one to decide upon. At what distance for example or do you eliminate distance? Since this is a college level question, I don't think it unreasonable that you have to research raw distance over fastest time.
The fastest speed I can find is 100 meters in 46.91 seconds. That means that the actual speed of the swimmer is 100 meters / 46.91 = 2.132 meters / second.
Givens
Set up a proportion with the numbers found and given
Speed of ball / speed of swimmer = 21.12 / 1
Speed of ball = x
Solution
Speed of swimmer = 2.132 m/s
x / 2.132 = 21.12 / 1 Multiply Both sides by 2.132
x = 21.12 * 2.132 / 1
x = 45.02 m/s
Answer
45.02 m/s
2x + 2y = 6 . . . . . (1)
x + 3y = -1 . . . . . (2)
(1) x 3 => 6x + 6y = 18 . . . . . (3)
(2) x 2 => 2x + 6y = -2 . . . . . (4)
(3) - (4) => 4x = 20
x = 20/4 = 5
