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

Hi there

One pound of salmon will cost $13, and one pound of tuna will cost $8.

Here's why.

X will be the cost of pound of salmon, and y will be the cost of a pound of tuna.
| 15x+8y=259
| 12x+6y-204

6y = 204-12x
y=34-2x

15x+8(34-2x)=259
272-259=16x-15x
x=13

y=34-2*13
y=34-26
y=8

So, again...
1lb Salmon : $13
1lb Tuna : $8

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!! THATS ALL. I WILL GIVE POINTS, FAN, MEDAL. PLEASE, I AM SO BAD AT MATH

"measures to the nearest tenth of a pound" tell us to round each of the weights listed to the nearest tenth (since the unit is already pounds, no conversion is needed). What this means is if the second number to the right of the decimal is 5 or greater, then we add 1 to the first number to the right of the decimal (and replace the second number with a zero). With all this said, it's much easier to show you, rather than to try to explain it. :D

4.35 is rounded up to 4.4 because the second number to the right of the decimal is 5.
Packet A = 4.4
Packet B = 4.4 
Packet C = 4.5
Packed D = 4.4
The question is asking what the heaviest reading will be, so from the whole list above we pick the highest number which is 4.5 pounds. Notice how the answer is not Packet C, or 4.48 pounds, but 4.5 pounds. It is asking for the reading, not the packet, nor the weight. Hope this helps.

Pls help it due ASAP and show workings
Effectus [21]

Answer:

it's 70°

Step-by-step explanation:

well first by vertical angles we know that

\angle BAC = \angle DAE\\\\\angle DAE = 4x+6 ( I don't know how to put the symbol xd)

and given we know that

\angle EAF = \angle EAD = 4x+6

solving for x

we know that

\angle CAD = 180\\\\\angle CAB + \angle ABD = 180\\\\4x+6+6x+14=180\\\\10x+20=180\\\\10x=160\\\\x=16

and now for \angle EAF

\angle EAF = 4x+6\\\\\angle EAF = 4(16)+6\\\\\angle EAF = 64+6\\\\\angle EAF = 70
