Answer:
If I am understanding your question, the total upstream is 8 miles and another 8 miles downstream.
Let s = the speed of the boat in still water
d = rt
8 = 5(s + 3) downstream
8 = 5s + 15 equation 1
8 = 5(s - 3) upstream
8 = 5s - 15 Add equation 1
8 = 5s + 15
16 = 10s Divide both sides by 10.
s = 16/10 = 8/5 = 1.6 mph
Moving the decimal over one space to the left. (9.852)
Explanation:
If you multiply a decimal by 10 the decimal point will move one space to the right to make a bigger number. But, if you divide by 10, it will move one space to the left to make a smaller number. (÷ means left, x means right) The The rule is, however many 0’s you have after the 1, that is how many spaces you move your decimal point. For an example if I wanted to multiply or divide a decimal by 100, I would move the decimal point 2 spaces over instead of just one because the number 100 had two 0’s after the one.This rule will not work with numbers like 20, or 150, because they are not multiples of 10 like the other numbers. Numbers that will work are 10, 100, 1000, 10000, 100000 and so on.
Sorry this is so long, I just wanted to make sure you understand because I had trouble with it when I was learning it.
Answer:
a = 28.14 (Estimated)
Step-by-step explanation:
7a + 50 = 247
=> 7a = 197
=> a = 28.1428571429 (Using Calculator)
=> a = 28.14 (Estimated)
Hoped this helped.
<span>Let's start with basic definitions:
1 inch-----0.0833333 ft
If 0.375 Ft- represents 0.25 inches
then 1 foof-x inches
0.25 inches x 1 ft / 0.375 ft: 0.66666666666667 (2/3) inch
1 foot is represented by 2/3 of an inch</span>
