Answer:
392
Step-by-step explanation:
7x4=28
28x14=392
Let 'x' be the distance from THE far bank where 700 is the distance to the NEAR bank
boat one has travelled 700 (rate = 700/unit time) boat two has travelled x rate = x / unit time
boat one then travels x + 400 more and boat two travels 700 + (700+x -400) more when they meet
The time is the same rate x time = distance distance/rate = time equate the distances divided by the respective rates
(700 + x + 400)/700 = ( x + 700 + (700+x-400) )/x
1100x + x^2 = 1400x + 700000
x^2-300x -700000 = 0 quadratic formula yields x = 1000
One boat travels 700 the other 1000 whe they first meet.....width of river = 700+ 1000 = 1700 m
Assuming that their exam success is independent then
P(both fail) = 1/4 x 2/5 = 2/20 or 1/10
Answer:
6366.4213
Step-by-step explanation: 6.9203x10^5 is 692,030. I divided 692,030 by 108.7 to get the answer. Anybody can correct any error I may have.
