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

The equations to represent the relationship are ƒx3/5=4 4/5 and 4 4/5 divided 3/5 =f

<h3>Ratio and proportion</h3>

Fractions are written as a ratio of two integers. For instance a/b is a fraction.

If Anastacio distributed 4 4/5 kg of seed among several bird feeders and put 3/5 kg of seed in each feeder, the expression that represents the number of bird feeders that Anastacio filled is given as;

Number of bird feeder = 4 4/5 ÷ 3/5

f = 4 4/5 ÷ 3/5

Multiply both sides by

f * 3/5 = 4 4/5   ÷ 3/5 * 3/5

f * 3/5 = 4 4/5

Hence the equations to represent the relationship are ƒx3/5=4 4/5 and 4 4/5 divided 3/5 =f

Here are the dimensions, in cm, of four cuboids.
professor190 [17]

Answer:

C) 2 × 3 × 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a cuboid = lbh = 30 cm³

A) 1 × 1 × 5 = 5 cm³ ≠ 30 cm³

B) 5 × 10 × 15 = 750 cm³ ≠ 30 cm³

C) 2 × 3 × 5 = 30 cm³ ✔

D) 1 × 2.5 × 4 = 10 cm³ ≠ 30 cm³

=》The correct option is C) 2 × 3 × 5 as it makes 30 cm³, which is the required volume.
