<h3>Rate of the boat in still water is 70 km/hr and rate of the current is 15 km/hr</h3><h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>
Given that,
A motorboat travels 165 kilometers in 3 hours going upstream and 510 kilometers in 6 hours going downstream
Therefore,
Upstream distance = 165 km
Upstream time = 3 hours
<h3><u>Find upstream speed:</u></h3>
Thus upstream speed is 55 km per hour
Downstream distance = 510 km
Downstream time = 6 hours
<h3><u>Find downstream speed:</u></h3>
Thus downstream speed is 85 km per hour
<em><u>If the speed of a boat in still water is u km/hr and the speed of the stream is v km/hr, then</u></em>
Speed downstream = u + v km/hr
Speed upstream = u - v km/hr
Therefore,
u + v = 85 ----- eqn 1
u - v = 55 ----- eqn 2
Solve both
Add them
u + v + u - v = 85 + 55
2u = 140
u = 70
<em><u>Substitute u = 70 in eqn 1</u></em>
70 + v = 85
v = 85 - 70
v = 15
Thus rate of the boat in still water is 70 km/hr and rate of the current is 15 km/hr
Well think about how many months there’s are!
12 right?
So 12 is the total of months or the denometor
Or bottom number ^^
Now how many months have 31 days?
Figure that out and that your numerator
Answer:
32 5/8 (or 32 and 5/8)
Step-by-step explanation:
Okay, so this problem is asking for us to solve this problem with the substitution of a variable: x = -4. Before we fully solve this problem, we need to replace all of those x variables with -4 so that it is easier to solve.
-7 1/4(-4) + 3 5/8.
To make this problem even easier to solve, let's turn these mixed numbers into improper fractions. To do this, multiply the denominator by the whole number. Then add the numerator to this number. The new number that you just got is now your new numerator for this number.
-29/4(-4) + 3 5/8.
Repeat the last step to turn the other mixed number into an improper fraction.
-29/4(-4) + 29/8.
Now let's multiply that -4 by 29/4. Because a whole number technically has a denominator of 1, we can now set up the next part of our problem. (The symbol * means multiplication since we can't use x since it is already being used as a variable in this equation.)
(-29/4 * -4/1) + 29/8.
29 + 29/8.
Now to solve the rest of this problem, let's convert the whole number of 29 so that it has a denominator of 8. This is that these two numbers are addable.
<u>29</u> x <u>8</u> = <u>232</u>
1 x 8 = 8
Now these numbers are addable. So:
232/8 + 29/8 = 261/8 = 32 5/8.
I hope that this helps.
