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.

How would I put this into a solvable equation, m= ak/n?
12345 [234]

The given equation is

m = ak/n

We want to solve for k

The first step is to multiply both sides of the equation by n. We have

m * n = ak/n * n

mn = ak

The next step is to divide both sides of the equation by a. We have

mn/a = ak/a

mn/a = k

k = mn/a

The correct option is the second one

Use the list below to find the upper quartile. 27, 5, 11, 13, 10, 8, 14, 18, 7
Alinara [238K]

Find the  median first. The middle of all the numbers.

5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13, 14, 18, 27

11 is the median.

Then find the median of the upper quartile.

The upper quartile consists of numbers...

5, 7, 8, 10

Since it is an even set of numbers add the two in the middle and divided by two. So 7 plus 8=  15/2.

7.5 is your upper quartile.
