Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
Pythagorean Theorem: a²+b²=c²
You can fill in the numbers you know: a²+4²=5²
(Hypotenuse must be side c)
Square those numbers and you have: a²+16=25
Subtract 16 from both sides: a²=9
Square root both sides and you get: a=3
The first portion is 2 and his speed during the cool down portion also 2 so I think it should be 2+2 which is 4
Let V, be the rate in still water and let C = rate river current
If the boat is going :
upstream, its rate is V-C and if going
downstream, its rate is V+C,
But V = 5C, then
Upstream Rate: 5C - C = 4 C
Downstream rate: 5C+C = 6C
Time = distance/Rate, (or time = distance/speed) , then:
Upstream time 12/4C and
Downstream time: 12/.6C
Upstream time +downstream time:= 2h30 ' then:
12/4C + 12/.6C = 2.5 hours
3/C + 2/C = 5/2 (2.5 h = 5/2)
Reduce to same denominator :
5C = 10 and Rate of the current = 2 mi/h
Answer:
A) s/3 +t
Step-by-step explanation:
To represent 1/3 of a number, we can simply divide this number by 3, meaning if s is the number, 1/3 of s would be s/3. Now to add t all we have to do is + t, making our answer s/3 + t
The answer will be 16 because you multiply then add
