Answer:

Never!

Step-by-step explanation:

Since each succeeding step is exactly 1/2 of the prior step, you have created an infinite geometric series that goes like 4, 2, 1, 1/2, 1/4... The formula for the sum of an infinite geometric series is a/(1-r), where a is the first term and r is the common ratio. Plugging this in, a/(1-r) = 4(1-1/2) = 4/(1/2) = 8. Therefore, you can only travel 8 feet in total and will never! reach the wall.

Find the slope and y intercept of the line 6x+ 2y=-88
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
6x + 2y = -88
2y = -88 -6x
y=-88/2 -6/2x
y= -44 - 3x
y = -3x - 44

Y intercept = -44
Slope/m = -3 (aka) -3/1

Crank

Answer:

Angle BOC = 28; Angle AOB = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Because angle AOC = AOB + BOC you can set the equation:

2x+10 + 4x-15 = 49

<solve for x>

6x - 5 = 49

6x = 54

x= 9

<plug in x for the angles>

BOC = 2(9) +10 = 28

AOB = 4(9) - 15 = 21

Together two ferries can transport a day's cargo in 7 hours. The larger ferry can transport cargo three times faster than the sm
Ksju [112]

Answer:

9 hours, 20 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

When two ferries work together, they transport a day's cargo in 7 hours

The speed proportion or ratio of larger ferry to smaller ferry is given as 3 : 1

The sum of the ratio = 4 (3 + 1)

This means that it will take the smaller ferry = 7 x 4 hours to work alone = 28 hours, since the larger ferry is faster by 3.

Therefore, when larger ferry works alone, it will take it (7 x 4)/3 = 9.33 hours.

9.33 hours = 9 hours, 20 minutes.
