Answer:5
Step-by-step explanation:
6:30 is the ration
6/30 reduced is 1/5
1:5
so its 5
Answer:
rate boat = 15 mph
rate current = 5 mph
explanation:
d = r * t
t = d/r
240 / (r_boat + current) = 12 Multiply both sides by r_boat + r_current.
240 = 12(r_boat + current)
240/ (r_boat - current) = 24 Multiply both sides by r_boat - r_current
240 = 24*(r_boat - current)
Since the distances are the same in both equations, you can equate the right side of each.
12 (r_boat + current) = 24(r_boat - current) Divide by 12
r_boat + current = 2 (r_boat - current) Remove the brackets.
r_boat + current = 2*r_boat - 2* current add 2 currents to both sides
r_boat + 3currents = 2*r_boat Subtract r_boat both sides
3 currents = r_boat.
240 = 12*(r_boat + current. Divide by 12
20 = r_boat + current Put 3 currents in for r_boat
20 = 3currents + 1 current Combine
20 = 4 currents Divide by 4
5 = current
The rate of the current = 5 miles / hour
3 currents = r_boat
3*5 = rate_boat
15 = rate of the boat
The formula is (2)(n-4) = n-1/4
Mult both sides by 4:
8n - 32 = 4n -1, or 4n = 31, or n=31/4.
If this is not what you expected, please ensure that you have copied down the original problem correctly. What do you mean by "1/4 less?"
Let's try (2)(n-4) = 1n-(1/4)n = (3/4)n. Then,
2n-8 = (3/4)n, or (5/4)n = 8. Mult. both sides by (4/5), we get:
n = (5/4)(8) = 10. Is that what you were hoping for?
I am doing the same thing
