Answer:

6.11km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed that Kelli swims be represented by Y

Speed of the river = 5km/hr

Distance = Speed × Time

Kelli swam upstream for some distance in one hour

Swimming upstream takes a negative sign, hence:

1 hour ×( Y - 5) = Distance

Distance = Y - 5

She then swam downstream the same river for the same distance in only 6 minutes

Downstream takes a positive sign

Converting 6 minutes to hour =

60 minutes = 1 hour

6 minutes =

Cross Multiply

6/60 = 1/10 hour

Hence, Distance =

1/10 × (Y + 5)

= Y/10 + 1/2

Equating both equations we have:

Y - 5 = Y/10 + 1/2

Collect like terms

Y - Y/10 = 5 + 1/2

9Y/10 = 5 1/2

9Y/ 10 = 11/2

Cross Multiply

9Y × 2 = 10 × 11

18Y = 110

Y = 110/18

Y = 6.1111111111 km/hr

Therefore, Kelli's can swim as fast as 6.11km/hr still in the water.

Ex plane how knowing 50 x 4 = 200 helps you find 500 x 400
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

if you know 50*4=200, you must also know that 50*10=500 and that 4*100=400 so 500*400= 50*10*4*100

multiplication is comutative so

50*4*10*100=200*1,000= 200, 000

please help me :( I need help
slava [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Lines l and m are the parallel lines and 't' is a transversal line,

Therefore, ∠1 ≅ ∠5 [Corresponding angle postulate]

∠5 ≅ ∠7 [Vertical angles theorem]

∠1 ≅ ∠7 [Transitive property]

Therefore, ∠1 ≅ ∠7 [Alternate exterior angles theorem]

What is the equation for y=3x+5
VLD [36.1K]

The graph of  y = -3x+5

Step 1: Since the  y - intercept is 5, plot the point (0,5).

Step 2: Since the slope is -3, move 1 unit to the right and 3 units down, so plot the point (1,2).

Step 3: Connect those points by a straight line.
