Answer:
- boat: 16 mph
- current: 4 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
speed = distance / time
The rate downriver is (60 mi)/(3 h) = 20 mi/h.
The rate upriver is (60 mi)/(5 h) = 12 mi/h.
The rate of the boat in still water is the average of these:
(20 +12)/2 mi/h = 16 mi/h
The rate of the current is the difference between the boat speed and actual speed:
16 mi/h - 12 mi/h = 4 mi/h
Let's say side length is s.
s*s = 500, so s = √500.
4 sides needed, total length thus 4*s.
4√500 ≈ 89.4
Answer:
-75/48
Step-by-step explanation:
multiply 5 by 15
and 6 by 8
5x15 is 75 , put it in numerator
6x8 is 48 , denominator
then the answer should have the negative sign
The quantity 5 more than a number t is labeled as (5+t)
Product of 9 and the quantity is labeled as = 9(5+t) which equals 45+9t
Result is less than 6 so the equation becomes
45+9t < 6
.675 square units is the answer
