A, B, and C. all of them are reasonable choices and wouldn’t give any conclusion, because not everyone has the flu
There isnt enough information to solve the question, answer is E.
how many pounds does he feed his dogs for each meal?
Answer:
117 inches squared
Step-by-step explanation:
perimeter= 44 inches
L=W+4
44=w+w+(w+4)+(w+4)
44=4w+8
36=4w
9=width
9+4=13
width=9
Length=13
area=L*W
13*9=117
Answer: the speed of the boat on the lake is 9 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the speed of the boat on the lake or in still water.
The speed of the current in a river is 6 mph. This means that if the boat goes upstream against the speed of the current, its total speed would be (x - 6)mph. If the boat goes downstream against the speed of the current, its total speed would be (x + 6)mph.
Time = distance/ speed
Every day, his route takes him 22.5 miles each way against the current and back to his dock, and he needs to make this trip in a total of 9 hours. This means that the time taken to travel upstream is
22.5/(x - 6). The time taken to travel downstream is
22.5/(x + 6)
Since the total time is 9 hours, it means that
22.5/(x - 6) = 22.5/(x + 6)
Cross multiplying, it becomes
22.5(x + 6) + 22.5(x - 6) = 9
Multiplying through by (x + 6)(x - 6), it becomes
22.5(x - 6) + 22.5(x + 6) = 9[(x + 6)(x - 6)]
22.5x - 135 + 22.5x + 135 = 9(x² - 6x + 6x - 36)
22.5x + 22.5x = 9x² - 324
9x² - 45x - 324 = 0
Dividing through by 9, it becomes
x² - 5x - 36 = 0
x² + 4x - 9x - 36 = 0
x(x + 4) - 9(x + 4) = 0
x - 9 = 0 or x + 4 = 0
x = 9 or x = - 4
Since the speed cannot be negative, then x = 9
