Answer: 30 feet per second
========================================
x = diameter, y = speed of water
y varies inversely with respect to x, so, y = k/x for some constant k
If x = 0.6 and y = 5 pair up, then y = k/x turns into 5 = k/0.6 which solves to k = 3 when you multiply both sides by 0.6
So the equation y = k/x turns into y = 3/x
Now plug in the diameter x = 0.1 to find the speed to be...
y = 3/x
y = 3/0.1
y = 30 feet per second
Answer:
On Tuesday
3/4 + 3/4 = 3/2 = 1 1/2 = 1.5
On Wednesday
2/4 + 1 1/4 = 7/4 = 1 3/4 = 1.75
Then we subtract
1.75 - 1.5 = 0.25
2/sqrt 5
by rationalising the denominator,
2/sqrt 5 × sqrt 5/sqrt 5
= 2(sqrt 5)/sqrt 5(sqrt 5)
= 2 sqrt 5/5
