let's recall that d = rt, or namely distance = rate * time.
b = speed of the boat
c = speed of the current
now, we know that going downstream the boat went 16 miles total, that's going only one way, so the distance the boat travels downstream as well as upstream to return is 16 miles flat.
when going downstream, the boat is not really going at "b" speed, is really going at "b + c" speed, because the current is adding its speed to it, so is really going faster than "b".
when going upstream, the boat is not really going at "b" speed" either, is really going slower at "b - c" speed, because the current is against it and thus subtracting speed from "b".
let's take a look at those in a table
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Givens
- Linda 35 mph
- Martin 60 mph
- distance travelled = 855 miles
Formula
Linda's speed * t + martin's speed * t = 855
s1 * t + s2 *t = 855
Solution
35*t + 60*t = 855t Combine the left
95t = 855 Divide both sides by 95
95t/95 = 855/95
t = 9
Answer
They will meet in 9 hours.
When a sign has the underline, it means it is also equal to.
for example,
x
10
so the solution for "x" is greater than or equal to 10
