(-36 ÷ -4) + 9
The expression equals 18.
Answer:
The speed of the boat in still water is 18 mph.
The speed of the current is 2 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the speed of the boat in still water.
Let y represent the speed of the current.
When the boat goes against the current, the speed is 16 mph. Assuming it traveled against the current while going upstream, its total speed would be (x - y) mph. It means that
x - y = 16 (equation 1)
Going downstream, the boat averages 20 mph. Assuming it traveled with the current, its total speed would be (x + y) mph. It means that
x + y = 20 (equation 2)
Adding both equations, it becomes
2x = 36
x = 36/2
x = 18 mph
Substituting x = 18 into equation 1, it becomes
18 - y = 16
y = 18 - 16
y = 2 mph
Answer: 29.2%
Step-by-step explanation:
The total surface area is 196.9 million square miles and out of this, land occupies 57.5 million square miles.
The probability that a meteorite would hit land is the percentage of and out of the entire planet area:
= Land area/ Total earth surface area
= 57.5/ 196.9
= 29.2%
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
if u is an irrational number added to a rational number (sqrt 15) to yield 2, then that would mean u would = root -1.78.....
which means you wouldn't have a real solution. if you want a complex answer, it would be sqrt(1.78)i
Answer:
A = 64 units²
Step-by-step explanation:
A = 1/2bh
Step 1: Define
A = ?
b = 16 units
h = 8 units
Step 2: Substitute and Evaluate
A = 1/2(16 units)(8 units)
A = (8 units)(8 units)
A = 64 units²
