Answer:

The aircraft carrier's speed was 13 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

The parameters given in the question are;

Time of departure of the aircraft carrier = 5 hours before the container ship

Speed of the container ship = 8 km/h faster than the aircraft carrier

Distance between the two ships after 7 hours = 303 km

Let the speed of the aircraft carrier be Z

∴ The speed of the container ship = Z + 8

Since the aircraft carrier left port 35 travelling North 5 hours earlier we have;

Total time of travel of the aircraft carrier at the time of measurement of the distance between the two ships = 5 + 7 = 12 hours

Therefore, since both ships are moving in opposite direction on the same line path, we have;

303 = 12×Z + 7 × (Z + 8) = 12·Z + 7·Z + 56

19·Z = 303 - 56 = 247

∴ Z = 247/19 = 13 km/h

Hence, the aircraft carrier's speed was 13 km/h.

Answer:

21.75 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the aircraft carrier speed 'x', so the speed of the container ship is 'x+8'

The distance travelled can be found with the product of the speed and the time travelled: d = v * t

The aircraft carrier travelled five hours, so the distance travelled is:

d1 = x * 5 = 5x

Then, the container ship travelled seven hours, so the distance travelled is:

d2 = (x+8)*7 = 7x + 42

As they travelled in opposite directions, the distance between then is the sum of these distances, and it is equal 303 km, so we have that:

d1 + d2 = 303

5x + 7x + 42 = 303

12x = 261

x = 21.75 km/h

13. You are going camping. The cost for renting a cabin at
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

The function is correct, I just don't see a question.

Step-by-step explanation:    6   21   6  10

C(n) = 12n + 65

I will make up a question.  How much will it cost 4 people each to rent the cabin?

C(n) = (12n + 65) / n         n = 4

      =  (12 × 4 + 65) / 4

      =  (48 + 65) / 4

      =     113 / 4

      =     $28.25

If your question is differnt just substitute the number of people into the question and solve for C(n)

What product is positive ?​
s344n2d4d5 [400]
<h3>Answer: Choice D</h3>

=======================================================

Explanation:

The long way to do this is to multiply all the fractions out by hand, or use a calculator to make shorter work of this.

The shortest way is to simply count how many negative signs each expression has.

The rule is: if there are an even number of negative signs, then the product will be positive. Otherwise, the product is negative.

For choice A, we have 3 negative signs. The result (whatever number it is) is negative. Choice B is a similar story. Choice C is also negative because we have 1 negative sign. Choices A through C have an odd number of negative signs.

Only choice D has an even number of negative signs. The two negatives multiply to cancel to a positive. The negative is like undoing the positive. So two negatives just undo each other. This is why the multiplied version of choice D will be some positive number.

Or you can think of it as opposites. If you are looking up (positive direction) and say "do the opposite" then you must look down (negative direction). Then if you say "do the opposite", then you must look back up in the positive direction.

0.79 / 16 oz = 0.049 ( price for 1 oz of brown rice)


3.49 / 32 = 0.109 ( price for 1 oz of white rice)

 the price per oz of brown rice is cheaper then 1 oz of white rice so the brown rice is the better deal
