_____
Units conversion is conveniently done using a fraction that is equal to 1: its numerator and denominator express the same quantity, but in different units. The units are chosen so that after unwanted units are cancelled, you end up with the desired units.
Given:
t1 = 3.6 h
t2 = 4.5 h
x = speed of boat
y = speed of water
Required:
a) Expression of distance traveled with moving water with 3.6h
Expression of distance traveled with moving water with 4.5h
b) Solve for y
c) Percent of boat's speed is the water current
Solution:
Working formula: distance = velocity*time
a) For travelling downstream, we get the equation
d = (x +y)*3.6
For travelling upstream, we get the equation
d = (x-y)*4.5
b) Setting the distance as equal for travelling upstream or downstream, we arrive at the equation of
(x+y)*3.6 = (x-y)*4.5
3.6x + 3.6y = 4.5x - 4.5y
8.1y =0.9x
y = x/9
c) percentage = 1/9*100% = 11.1%
<em>ANSWERS: a) d = (x+y)*36; d = (x-y)*4.5
</em> <em>b) y = x/9
</em> <em>c) 11.1%</em>
1 yard = 3 feet
1 mile = 5,280 feet
So, 1 mile = 5,280/3 yards = 1760 yards
Answer:
Water and alcohol
Step-by-step explanation:
They are both a clear liquid. However, their properties are very different. Here are a few of the things that set them apart.
- their smell
- their PH
- their density
20% x 50 =(20 / 100) x 50 = (20 x 50) / 100 = 1000 / 100 = 10
answer is 10
