First, find the difference.
63-36=27
Then, divide by the original number.
27/36=0.75
Then, put it in percentage form.
75%
The <u><em>correct answer</em></u> is:
15 weeks
Explanation:
Let w be the number of weeks. Bill weighs 150 pounds and wants to gain 2 lbs per week; this gives us the expression 150+2w for Bill.
Jamal weighs 195 and wants to lose 1 pound per week; this gives us the expression 195-1w for Jamal.
To determine how many weeks it will take them to weigh the same, we set the two expressions equal:
150+2w=195-1w
Add 1w to each side:
150+2w+1w = 195-1w+1w
150+3w = 195
Subtract 150 from each side:
150+3w-150 = 195-150
3w = 45
Divide each side by 3:
3w/3 = 45/3
w = 15
Answer:
about 2.81 km/h
Step-by-step explanation:
It can be useful to draw a diagram.
The lines pointing to due north from points B and P are parallel, so the angle BCP and the bearing of point C from P are the same, 30°. The angle BPC will be the difference of bearings of B and C at P, so is 47-30=17°. This is enough information to solve the triangle using the Law of Sines:
PB/sin(C) = CB/sin(P)
CB = PB·sin(P)/sin(C) = (1200 m)·sin(17°)/sin(30°) ≈ 701.7 m
The speed of the boat is then ...
x = distance/time = (0.7017 km)/(1/4 h) = 2.8068 km/h
