Answer:

Option A is correct, i.e. 3 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Tinh can row at a rate of 6 mph in still water.

Suppose the speed of the river current is X mph.

Then Upstream speed = (6-X) mph.

And Downstream speed = (6+X) mph.

It takes her 2 hours to row upstream from a dock to a park. She then rows back to the dock, and it only takes 40 minutes.

It means Distance upstream = Distance downstream.

Speed upstream x Time upstream = Speed downstream x Time downstream.

(6-x) * 2 = (6+x) * 40/60

12 - 2x = 4 + 2x/3

12 - 4 = 2x/3 + 2x

8 = 2x/3 + 6x/3 = 8x/3

x = 3 mph.

Hence, option A is correct, i.e. 3 mph.

Answer:

Option A (3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Tinh can row at a rate of 6 mph in still water.

Also it takes her 2 hours to row upstream from a dock to a park. She then rows back to the dock, and it only takes 40 minutes.

While upstream she travels against the stream but while downstream she travels along with the stream

Let x  be the speed of boat in still water and y that of stream

Then since distance d is the same, time x speed =D

i.e. (x-y)120 = (x+y)40 after converting hours to minutes

80x=160y

x=2y

x=6 (given)

So y = 6/2=3 mph

What is the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points? (1, 7), (10, 1) Question 19 options: 2/3 -2/3 3/2 -3/2
notsponge [240]

Slope is defined simply as delta y over delta x or the change in y over the change of x. We need to decided what points is going to be the start or the end. Typically, the point farther to the right of the graph is considered the end point.

Start: (1, 7)

End: (10, 1)

m = \frac{1 - 7}{10 - 1} \\\\\\m = \frac{-6}{9} \\\\\\m = \frac{-2}{3}

you plant 15 tulip bulbs and 10 of them grow into flowers to bloom. If you plant 21 more re tulips bulbs, predict how many of th
harina [27]

Answer:

14 more flower would bloom if 21 more tulip bulb is planted.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given ratio for tulip bulbs and flowers is 15:10.

Now, finding number of flower to bloom if 21 tulip bulb are planted.

Assume if 21 tulip bulbs are planted then number of flower would bloom be"x"

ratio given: \frac{Tulip\ bulbs}{ Flower} = \frac{15}{10} = \frac{21}{x}

Cross multiplying the ratio to get:

⇒x= \frac{21\times 10}{15} = \frac{210}{15}

∴x= 14\ flowers

Hence, 14 flowers would bloom if 21 tulip bulb are planted.

If total tulip bulb is 15+21= 36, then 10+14= 24\ flowers would bloom.

Choose the correct proportions.
ozzi

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the only possibilities with proportionate answers are 6:7 = 12:14, or 7:6 = 14:12. Only 6:7 = 12:14 is an answer choice. Both the numbers in the first pair times two equal the second pair.

PLEASE HELP!!
madam [21]

Answer:

k=2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Step 1 in solving the exponential equations is re-writing the base same as other side of the equation

so,

25^{3k}=625\\=> 25^{3k}=25^2

Step 2:

Second step is equating the exponents

The rule used is:

If\ B^m=B^n\ then\ m=n

So in this case

3k=2\\k = \frac{2}{3}

So the solution is:

k=2/3 ..
