Answer: x+y

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Going against the current, a boat takes 6 hours to make a 120-mile trip. When the boat travels with the current on the return trip, it takes 5 hours.

Clearly , it can be seen that when boat travels with current , it takes competitively less time.

i.e. the speed of the boat would increased by the current.

If x = the rate of the boat in still water and y = the rate of the current, then the expressions represents the rate of the boat going with the current will be :-

x+y

Against the current it was going 20mph with the current it was going 24mph , it should be x+y because rate of the boat and rate of the current combined equals the rate of the boat WITH the current

Hector is competing in a 42 mile bicycle race, he has already completed 18 miles of the race ad is traveling at a constant speed
kkurt [141]
Time it took Hector to complete 18 miles is given by 18 / 12 = 1.5 hours.

Let the time when Wanda will catch up to Hector be t, then, the distance covered by Hector at the time they meet is 18 + 12t and the distance covered by Wanda at the time they meet is 16t.

Then, 18 + 12t = 16t
16t - 12t = 18
4t = 18
t = 18 / 4 = 4.5

Therefore, Wanda will catch up with Hector after 4.5 hours.

The radius of a sphere is 3 inches. Which represents the volume of the sphere?
Leni [432]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the volume of a sphere of radius r is V = (4/3)(pi)r^3.

Here, with r = 3 in, the volume is

V = (4/3)(3.14)(3 in)^2, or  V  =  36(pi)(27 in)^3 = 36pi in^3

The FDA recommends that women who are pregnant avoid eating more than three 6.00 oz servings of bluefish per month because of th
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

5,562 x 10^{-6}

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Firts, we need to find the maximum recommended amount of bluefish per month. Since the FDA recommends <em>3 servings of 6.00 oz each</em>, the maximum amount would be:

the maximum amount of bluefish per month = 3 * 6.00 oz = 18.00 oz

  • Since bluefish contains <em>0.309 ppm of mercury per 1x10^{6} oz of fis</em>h, then:

0.309 oz mercury --------> 1x10^{6} oz of fish

How many  (y)      --------> 18.00 oz of fish

y = \frac{18.00 oz of fish * 0.309 oz of mercury}{1 x 10^{6} oz of fish }  = 0.000005562 = 5.562 x 10^{-6} oz mercury
