You are wakeboarding on a river. You travel 2 miles downstream to a marina for supplies, and then you travel 3 miles upstream to

a dock. The boat travels x miles per hour during the entire trip, and the river current is 3 miles per hour.
How long will the trip take when then speed of the boat is 18 miles per hour? Round to the nearest tenth minute.

Let x represent the speed of of boat.

We have been given that the river current is 3 miles per hour.  

The speed of boat upstream will be x-3.

The speed of boat downstream would be x+3.

\text{Time}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}

We have been given that you travel 2 miles downstream to a marina for supplies, and then you travel 3 miles upstream to a dock.

We can represent this information in an equation as:

\text{Time}=\frac{2}{x+3}+\frac{3}{x-3}

Since the speed of the boat is 18 miles per hour, so we will substitute x=18 in above equation and solve for time.

\text{Time}=\frac{2}{18+3}+\frac{3}{18-3}

\text{Time}=\frac{2}{21}+\frac{3}{15}

\text{Time}=\frac{2}{21}+\frac{1}{5}

\text{Time}=\frac{2\cdot 5}{21\cdot 5}+\frac{1\cdot 21}{5\cdot 21}

\text{Time}=\frac{10}{105}+\frac{21}{105}

\text{Time}=\frac{31}{105}

\text{Time}=0.295238095

Since time is in hours, so let us convert our given time in minutes.

1 hour = 60 minutes.

\text{Time}=0.295238095\times 60\text{ minutes}

\text{Time}=17.7142857\text{ minutes}

Rounding to nearest tenth of minute.

\text{Time}\approx 17.7\text{ minutes}

Therefore, it will take approximately 17.7 minutes for the boat to take the trip.

Jagroop is building a dock at his cottage. The length of the doc is 3 times the width, plus 2. Determine a simplified expression
MissTica

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let length = y    width = x

y = 3x + 2

Perimeter = Sum of all sides (or sum of both lengths and both widths)

2y + 2x

2(3x + 2) + 2x

6x + 4 + 2x

8x + 4
