recall your d = rt, distance = rate * time.
b = rate of the boat in still water
c = rate of the currrent
the distance going upstream is 8 miles, the distance going downstream is also the same 8 miles.
the boat took 1 hour going upstream, now, the boat is not going "b" mph fast, since it's going against the current, the current is eroding speed from, thus the boat going up is really going "b - c" fast.
likewise, when the boat goes downstream, is not going "b" fast either, is going faster because is going with the current and thus is really going "b + c" fast, and we know that trip back took 1/2 hour or 30 minutes.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
5
x + y = 5 => x = 5 - y
y - 4 = - x
=> y - 4 = - ( 5 - y)
=> y - 4 = - 5 + y
=>4 = 5 , not true
So, no solution => system is inconsistent
6
option b
Explanation just as above.
Answer:
a. 3.6
b. 42.5%
Step-by-step explanation:
a. 180/100 = 1.8
1.8 times 2 (since it's 2%) gives us 3.6
B. 17/40 is 42.5
An Ecosystem is a community of living organisms in conjunction with the nonliving components of their environment, interacting as a system. These biotic and abiotic components are linked together through nutrient cycles and energy flows. Energy enters the system through photosynthesis and is incorporated into plant tissue. By feeding on plants and on one another, animals play an important role in the movement of matter and energy through the system. They also influence the quantity of plant and microbial biomass present. By breaking down dead organic matter, decomposers release carbon back to the atmosphere and facilitate nutrient cycling by converting nutrients stored in dead biomass back to a form that can be readily used by plants and other microbes.
