We know that the building is 256.25 m long and that a ratio is 25 meters to 1 inch.
We have to divide the length of a building to 25:
256.25 : 25 = 10.25
Answer: The building will be 10.25 inches long in the sketch.

A motorboat takes 5 hours to travel 200 miles going upstream. The return trip takes 4 hours going downstream. What is the rate o

dsp73

Answer:

rate of motorboat: b

rate of current: c

So the rate the boat travels upstream is $b - c$, and the rate it travels downstream is $b + c$

Step-by-step explanation:

d = rt

200 = (b - c)\cdot 5

200 = (b + c)\cdot 4

b - c = 40

b + c = 50

Adding these equations, we get:

2b = 90

b = 45

c = 50 - 45 = 5

<u>Therefore the rate of the boat is 45kph, and the rate of the current is 5kph</u>

Hope this helps :)
