Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find two things-- the speed of the boat in still water and the speed of the current. Each of these things will be represented by a different variable:
B = speed of the boat in still water
C = speed of the current
Since we have two variables, we will need to find a system of two equations to solve.
How do we find the two equations we need?
Rate problems are based on the relationship Distance = (Rate)(Time).
Fill in the chart with your data (chart attached)
The resulting speed of the boat (traveling upstream) is B-C miles per hour. On the other hand, if the boat is traveling downstream, the current will be pushing the boat faster, and the boat's speed will increase by C miles per hour. The resulting speed of the boat (traveling downstream) is B+C miles per hour. Put this info in the second column in the chart. Now plug it into a formula! <u>Distance=(Rate)(Time) </u>Now solve using the systems of equations!
Answer: 1140.3
Step by step explanation:
181 x 7 = 1267
1267x0.9=1140.3
Answer: b=0
Step-by-step explanation:
0.5b+4=2(b+2)
0.5b+4=2b+4
4=1.5b+4
0=1.5b
b=0
Step-by-step explanation:
You are just replacing the 'n' with the number in the 'n box'.
So if this is the formula:
then:
B(-3)= 4-(-3/3)
B(-3)= 4-( -1)
B(-3)= 4+1
B(-3)= 5
B(0)= 4-(0/3)
B(0)= 4-0
B(0)= 4
B(3)= 4-(3/3)
B(3)= 4-1
B(3)= 3
Given:
weight of mixture : 1792 ounces
output of mixture : 560 bars of soap
to get the weight per unit, we simply divide by total weight by the total number of output.
1792 oz / 560 bars = 3.2 ounces per bar.
