Answer:

Boat = 20 mph

Current = 5 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

If b is the speed of the boat, and c is the speed of the current, then:

b + c = 225 / 9 = 25

b − c = 225 / 15 = 15

Solve the system of equations with elimination.

2b = 40

b = 20

Plug back into either equation to find the speed of the current.

c = 5

Help me with these please!!

Let's take a look. A baker is using three cups of water for every eight ounces of water.

Let's think of a ratio!

8 * x = 96
x =  cups of flour.


Let's solve the equation.

96 divided by 8 equals 12.

The correct answer would be D - 12 cups of flour.

The line of best fit for a scatter plot is shown:
scoray [572]
(0,6)(4,3)
slope = (3 - 6) / (4 - 0) = -3/4
ur y int (where the line crosses the y axis) is (0,6)

in y = mx + b form, the slope will be in the m position and the y int will be in the b position. 

Therefore, ur equation is : y = -3/4x + 6 <==

Suppose an egg is thrown off the top of a building 240 feet above ground. The height, h, in feet of the rock above the ground is
Nostrana [21]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is: D) 6.2 seconds

<h2>Why?</h2>

When the egg hit the ground,  the height will be equal to 0, so, from the given equation we need to find the roots or zeroes.

It's a quadratic function, we can find the roots using the quadratic equation:

\frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}

So, from the given function we know that:

a=-16\\b=60\\c=240

So, substituting we have:

\frac{-60+-\sqrt{60^{2}-4*(-16)*240}}{2*(-16)}=\frac{-60+-\sqrt{3600+15360}}{-32}\\\\\frac{-60+-\sqrt{18960}}{-32}=\frac{-60+-(137.69)}{-32}

x1=\frac{-60-137.69}{-32}=6.18

x2=\frac{-60+137.69}{-32}=-2.42

So, since the time can not be a negative value, the correct option is:

6.18≈6.2 seconds

Hence, it takes 6.2 seconds to the egg to hit the ground.

Have a nice day!
