You decide to enter in a rowing competition. To train, you go to the boat house and begin rolling down stream. You row for the s

ame amount of time upstream and downstream, travel down stream for 2400 m, but only one sixth that distance upstream. The current travels at a rate of 10 m/s. What is the time you spend rowing down stream? How fast would you be rolling in Stillwater?

Answer:

Time spent rowing down stream =100\ seconds

Speed of boat in still water =14\ ms^{-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let speed of boat in still water be = x\ ms^{-1}

Speed of current = 10\ ms^{-1}

Speed of boat down stream = \textrm{Speed of boat in still water +Speed of current}= (x+10)\ ms^{-1}

Distance rowed down stream = 2400 m

Time spent rowing down stream = \frac{Distance}{Speed}=\frac{2400}{x+10}\ s = \frac{Distance}{Speed}=\frac{2400}{x+10}\ s

Speed of boat up stream = \textrm{Speed of boat in still water -Speed of current}= (x-10)\ ms^{-1}

Distance rowed up stream = \frac{1}{6} \textrm{ of distance rowed downstream}=\frac{1}{6}\times 2400 = 400\ m

Time spent rowing up stream = \frac{Distance}{Speed}=\frac{400}{x-10}\ s

We know that,

\textrm{Time spent rowing down stream =Time spent rowing up stream}

So,

\frac{2400}{x+10}=\frac{400}{x-10}

Cross multiplying

2400(x-10)=400(x+10)

Dividing both sides by 400

\frac{2400(x-10)}{400}=\frac{400(x+10)}{400}

6(x-10)=x+10

6x-60=x+10

Adding 60 to both sides.

6x-60+60=x+10+60

6x=x+70

Subtracting both sides by x

6x-x=x+70-x

5x=70

Dividing both sides by 5.

\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{70}{5}

∴ x=14

Speed of boat in still water =14\ ms^-1

Time spent rowing down stream =\frac{2400}{14+10}=\frac{2400}{24}=100\ s

Answer:

The ratio of salmon to total fish caught is 9 over 25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with what we know. We have 200 total fish caught and 36% are salmon. The rest is just mumble jumble so don't pay attention to that.

All we have to do is find 36% of 200, and the easiest way to do that is by first knowing that 36% of 100 is 36 so if we double that it will give us 36% of 200.

36 x 2 = 72

So, the ratio of salmon to total fish caught is 72 over 200. But, in simplest form is 9 over 25 because 72/200 divided by 4/4 = 9/25.

Hope this helps! If you have any additional questions please don't hesitate tp ask me or your teacher to be sure you really master this subject. Stay safe and please mark brainliest!
