Answer:

3.9 mi/h

Step-by-step explanation:

If the boy is rowing perpendicular to the current, the two vectors form a right triangle.

AB represents the downstream current, BC is the speed across the river, and AC is the ground speed of the boat

AC^2 = 2.4^2 + 3.1^2 =5.76 + 9.61 = 15.37

AC = sqrt(15.37) = 3.9 mi/h

The boat's speed over the ground is 3.9 mi/h.

Evaluate the expression 3(7 + 4)2 − 24 ÷ 6
solong [7]

Answer:

3(7 + 4)2 − 24 ÷ 6 = 62

Step-by-step explanation:

3(7 + 4)2 − 24 ÷ 6 is the given expression.

Now, by the rule of BODMAS, where B = Bracket, O= of, D = divide,

M = multiplication, A = addition and S = subtraction

we try and solve the following expression in the same order.

Solving the bracket first, we get

3<u>(7 + 4)</u>2 − 24 ÷ 6 = 3(<u>11</u>)2 − 24 ÷ 6  =<u> 66</u>  − 24 ÷ 6

Next, we solve divide,

66 − <u>24 ÷ 6</u> = 66 - <u>4</u>  

Next, solving the subtraction, 66 - 4    = 62

Hence, 3(7 + 4)2 − 24 ÷ 6 = 62
