A fisherman traveled in a boat from point N upstream. After having traveled 6 km, he stopped rowing and 2 hour 40 min after firs

Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

The speed of the river's current is 4.5 km/hr.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A fisherman traveled in a boat from point N upstream.

After having traveled 6 km, he stopped rowing and 2 hour 40 min after first leaving N, he was brought back to N by the current.

Knowing that the speed of the boat in still water is 9 km/hour

To find : The speed of the river’s current.

Solution :

Let the speed of current = x km/h

Speed of boat = 9 km/h

Thus, the speed in upstream = (9 - x) km/h

Also, the speed in downstream = x km/h (because the boat is stationary in downstream)

Total distance = 6 km ( from N to the point he reached )

Total time = 2 hours 40 minutes

$\text{2 hours 40 minutes}=2\frac{40}{60}=2 \frac{2}{3} \\\\\text{2 hours 40 minutes}=\frac{8}{3} \text{ hours}$

We know, $\text{Time} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}$

According to the question,

$\frac{6}{9-x}+\frac{6}{x}=\frac{8}{3}$

Taking LCM and 6 common

$6[\frac{x+9-x}{(9-x)x}]=\frac{8}{3}$

Take 6 to another side,

$\frac{9}{9x-x^2}=\frac{8}{3\times 6}$

Cross multiply,

$9\times 18=8\times(9x-x^2)$

$162=72x-8x^2$

Taking 4 common and cancel out

$4x^2-36x+81=0$

Solve quadratic equation by middle term split,

$4x^2-18x-18x+81=0$

$2x(2x-9)-9(2x-9)=0$

$(2x-9)(2x-9)=0$

$\Rightarrow 2x-9=0$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{9}{2}=4.5$

Therefore, The speed of the river's current is 4.5 km/hr.

I need help ASAP. If TU=10 and ST=15, What is the measure of the radius of the circle?

Svetach [21]

Answer:

5.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Use pythag to get SU. 10^2 + x^2 = 15^2, this will give you x = 11.2. 11.2 is the diameter of SU so divide it by 2 to get the radius. 11.2/2= 5.6.

What is 6.1% in simplest fraction form?

timama [110]

Answer:

Find the GCD (or HCF) of numerator and denominator. GCD of 6 and 1 is 1.

6 ÷ 11 ÷ 1.

Reduced fraction: 61. Therefore, 6/1 simplified to lowest terms is 6/1.
