A motorboat takes

Mathematics

Recall your d = rt, distance = rate * time

let's say the boat's rate is "b" in still water, and the current's rate is "c"

as the boat goes upstream, is not really going "b" fast, the water is not still anyway, is going much slower, is going " b - c ", because the current's rate is eroding speed because is going against the current.

as the boat goes downstream, is not going "b" fast either, is going faster, is going " b + c " fast, because is going downstream and thus with the current and the current is adding speed to it.  notice, it takes longer going up, 5hrs, then coming down, 3hrs, same 150 on each way.

\bf \begin{array}{llll}
&distance&rate&time\\
&-----&-----&-----\\
upstream&150&b-r&5\\
downstream&150&b+r&3
\end{array}
\\\\\\

\begin{cases}
150=(b-r)5\\
\qquad \frac{150}{5}=b-r\\
\qquad 30=b-r\\
\qquad 30+r=\boxed{b}\\
150=(b+r)3\\
\qquad \frac{150}{3}=b+r\\
\qquad 50=b+r\\
\qquad 50=\boxed{30+r}+r
\end{cases}

solve for "r"

what's the boat's rate? well, 30+r = b

What is the mean absolute deviation of the data set? 12, 15, 7, 4, 9, 10, 9, 6
bearhunter [10]
Here is an example:
Find the MAD of 2,4,6,8 Step 1 : Find the mean of the data : (2+4+6+8) / 4 = 20/5 = 4 Step 2 : Find the distance between each data and mean. Distance between 2 and 5 is 3 Distance between 4 and 5 is 1 Distance between 6 and 5 is 1 Distance between 8 and 5 is 3
Step 3 : Add all the distances : 3+1+1+3 = 8
Step 4 : Divide it by the number of data : 8 / 4 = 2 2 is the average absolute deviation.

Joe worked 12 hours and packed 32 cartons. Bob worked 25 hours and packed 64 cartons. Did Joe and Bobwork at the same rate?O YES
Bas_tet [7]

To be able to compare the rates, we will write them in fraction form.

The fraction that represents Joe's rate is:

\frac{32}{12},

and the fraction that represents Bob's rate is:

\frac{64}{25}\text{.}

Simplifying the above fractions, we get:

\begin{gathered} \frac{32}{12}=\frac{8}{3}, \\ \frac{64}{25}=\frac{64}{25}\text{.} \end{gathered}

Since:

\frac{8}{3}\ne\frac{64}{25}

then Bob and Joe did not work at the same rate.

Answer:

No, Bob and Joe did not work at the same rate.
