you turn 1 and 1 over 5 into 6 over 5. then divide.
12 divided by 6 over 5 equals 10
speed of current is 1.5 mi/hr
Answer:
let the rate in still water be x and rate of the current be y.
speed down the river is:
speed=distance/time
speed=14/2=7 mi/h
speed up the river is:
speed=(14)/(3.5)=4 mi/hr
thus total speed downstream and upstream will be:
x+y=7...i
x-y=4.......ii
adding the above equations i and ii we get:
2x=11
x=5.5 mi/hr
thus
y=5-5.5=1.5 mi/r
thus the speed in still waters is 5.5 mi/hr
speed of current is 1.5 mi/hr
Answer:
y=4
Step-by-step explanation:
One of them is -6 the other one would be 6
Answer:
d = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The n th term of an arithmetic sequence is
= a₁ + (n - 1)d
where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference
Given a₁ = - 2 and a₈ = 26 , then
- 2 + 7d = 26 ( add 2 to both sides (
7d = 28 ( divide both sides by 7 )
d = 4
