The speed of a boat in still water (b) is 50km/h. It takes the same time (t) for the boat to travel 10km (x) upstream as it does to travel 20km (y) downstream. Find the speed of the current.

upstream speed (u) = speed in still water (b) - stream speed (s) = b-s = 50-s

downstream speed (d) = speed in still water (b) + stream speed (s) = 50+s

time (t) = x/u = y/d

10/(50-s) = 20/(50+s)

10(50+s) = 20(50-s)

500 + 10s = 1000 - 20s

30s = 500

stream speed (s) = 500/30 = 16.6 km/h

Weights of different sandwiches in two lengths are shown in the table.

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

Egg salad sandwich is proportional to its length

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight of Sandwiches by Length of Roll

6-inch Roll 12-Inch Roll

Cheese sandwich $\frac{1}{4}$ $\frac{3}{4}$

Chicken salad sandwich $\frac{3}{4}$ $1\frac{3}{4}$

Egg salad sandwich $\frac{2}{3}$ $1\frac{1}{3}$

For cheese sandwich proportion

$\frac{6}{\frac{1}{4}}=\frac{12}{\frac{3}{4}}\\24 \neq 16$

So, Cheese sandwich weight is not proportional to its length

For Chicken salad sandwich proportion

$\frac{6}{\frac{3}{4}}=\frac{12}{\frac{7}{4}}\\8 \neq \frac{48}{7}$

So, chicken salad sandwich is not proportional to its length

For Egg salad sandwich proportion

$\frac{6}{\frac{2}{3}}=\frac{12}{\frac{4}{3}}\\9=9$

So, egg salad sandwich is proportional to its length

Solve the compound inequality 9 + 3n >= 6 or 5n < 25.

babymother [125]

$9+3n \geq 6 \ \lor \ 5n\ \textless \ 25 \\
3n \geq 6-9 \ \lor \ n \ \textless \ \frac{25}{5} \\
3n \geq -3 \ \lor \ n \ \textless \ 5 \\
n \geq \frac{-3}{3} \\
n \geq -1 \\ \\
\boxed{n \geq -1 \hbox{ or } n\ \textless \ 5} \\ \\
