Answer:

20 mph and 4 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN: A boat travels upstream for 48 miles in 3 hours and returns in 2 hours traveling downstream in a river.

TO FIND: What is the rate of the boat in still water and the rate of the current.

SOLUTION:

Let the speed of boat in still water be s and speed of current be a.

\therefore speed of water in upstream =s+a

  speed of water in downstream =s-a

As  speed=\frac{distance}{time}

s+a=\frac{48}{3}=16

s-a=\frac{48}{2}=24

Solving both we get

s=20\text{ mph}

a=4\text{ mph}

Hence speed of boat in still water and rate of current is 20mph and 4mph respectively.

A bottling company uses a filling machine to fill plastic bottles with a popular cola. The bottles are supposed to contain 300 m
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

0.16

Step-by-step explanation:

For a normal distribution, the 68-95-99.7 rule says that 68% of the distribution lies within 1 standard deviation from the mean, 95% within two standard deviations and 99.7% within three standard deviations.

From the question,

Mean μ = 298 ml

Standard deviation σ = 3 ml

A value of 295 ml is within one standard deviation = 68%.

Since it's on the lower side, it's within 68% ÷ 2 = 34%.

The lower half below the mean is 50% of the distribution. Hence, for a selection less than 1 standard deviation, the probability is

50% - 34% = 16% = 0.16

Find the value of p for which x = -2, y = -1 is a solution of linear equation 5x + 2py = 2p.​
Rom4ik [11]
I think p=4
How I solved it:
5(-2)+2p+2(-1)=2p
-10+2p+-2=2p So cross out last
-2p -2p 2p:)
= -10+2p+-2
+10 +10 Cross out the 10
= 2p=8
= divide both sides by 2p
= 2p/2= 8/2
= cross out the 2.
= which leaves
= p=4 we get 4 because we divide 8 to 2:)


I don’t know if I’m right but yea...
