Answer:
If I am understanding your question, the total upstream is 8 miles and another 8 miles downstream.
Let s = the speed of the boat in still water
d = rt
8 = 5(s + 3) downstream
8 = 5s + 15 equation 1
8 = 5(s - 3) upstream
8 = 5s - 15 Add equation 1
8 = 5s + 15
16 = 10s Divide both sides by 10.
s = 16/10 = 8/5 = 1.6 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of people to paint the bridge is inversely proportional to the number of hours it takes.
(If there are more people, it will take less time etc.)
9 people can paint the bridge in 5 hours.
=> 2 people can paint the bridge in 5 * (9/2) = 22.5 hours.
Dependent variables: A variable whose value depends on the value of another variable or variables
independent variable: A variable whose value determines the value of another variable or variables
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A:
Given the ratio 1 : 2, we can describe this ratio with the following situation.
The number of green balls to orange balls in the bag is in the ratio of 1 : 2. For every green ball in the bag, there are 2 corresponding orange ball.
Part B:
Given the ratio 29 : 30, we can describe this ratio with the following situation.
The ratio of the amount of sugar used to the amount of salt used to prepare the sugar-salt solution is 29 : 30. For every teaspoons of sugar used in the solution, 30 teaspoons of salt needs to be used.
Part C:
Given the ratio 52 : 12, we can describe this ratio with the following situation.
The
number of kilometers travelled by the car and the bicycle is in the ratio of 52 :
12. For every 52 kilometers travelled by the car, the bicycle travelled 12 kilometers.
