Answer:

t = 70 tons/1.5 tons/min = 46.7 min = 2800 sec before boat sinks

S = V * t

V = S / t = 20 mi * 5280 ft/mi / 2800  sec  = 37.7 ft/sec

Since 88 ft/sec = 60 mph

the speed is 60 * 37.7 / 88 = 25.7 mph

Question:

Lisa walks at an average speed of  6 km/h for 15 hours.

Dan completes the same distance in  an hour.  Calculate Dan's average speed.​

Answer:

Speed = 90km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Lisa:

Speed = 6km/hr

Time = 15\ hr

First, we calculate the distance covered by Lisa:

Distance = Speed * Time

Distance = 6km/hr * 15\ hr

Distance = 90km

So, Dan distance can be represented as:

Distance = 90km --- Dan completes the same distance as Lisa

Time = 1\ hr -- Time to complete the distance

Dan's average speed is:

Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}

Speed = \frac{90km}{1\ hr}

Speed = 90km/hr

<em>Hence, Dan's average speed is 90km/hr</em>

The perimeter of a rectangle is 234 meters.
Licemer1 [7]

I am going to show you how easy this is. Once you understand, you will be able to do this forever.

:

Assuming the side of the rectangle are (L) length and (W) width, the perimeter:

2L + 2W = 234

:

"the rectangle is twice as long as it is wide,", the equation for this statement:

L = 2W

:

In the first equation, we can replace L with 2W, then we have

2(2W) + 2W = 234

4W + 2W = 234

6W = 234

Divide both sides by 6

W = 234%2F6

W = 39 meters is the width

:

Remember it said the length is twice the width, therefore:

L = 2(39)

L = 78 meters is the length

:

:

Check this by finding the perimeter with these values

2(78) + 2(39) =

156 + 78 = 234

How would you write 1 - x^4 before you divide it by x - 1?
devlian [24]
Order your terms by the powers of exponents in decreasing order (as is the case with pure number division hundreds, tens, ones, tenths, etc, etc) as x^n, x^n-1 etc...

(-x^4+1)/(x-1)
-x^3 rem -x^3-1
-x^2 rem -x^2-1
-x     rem -x-1
-1     rem 0

(x-1)(-x^3-x^2-x-1)

(x-1)(-x^3-x-x^2-1)

(x-1)(-x(x^2+1)-1(x^2+1))

(x-1)(-x-1)(x^2+1)
