speed of current is 1.5 mi/hr
Answer:
let the rate in still water be x and rate of the current be y.
speed down the river is:
speed=distance/time
speed=14/2=7 mi/h
speed up the river is:
speed=(14)/(3.5)=4 mi/hr
thus total speed downstream and upstream will be:
x+y=7...i
x-y=4.......ii
adding the above equations i and ii we get:
2x=11
x=5.5 mi/hr
thus
y=5-5.5=1.5 mi/r
thus the speed in still waters is 5.5 mi/hr
speed of current is 1.5 mi/hr
Answer:
g = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
miles / gallon = miles / gallon
104 / 4 = 78 / g
cross-multiply to solve for 'g':
78(4) = 104g
312 = 104g
312/104 = g
3 = g
Answer:
2000 L
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 1250 L of water in a tank at present. If the tank is 0.625 full, what is the capacity of the tank?
The simple solution is:
1250 L ÷ 0.625 = 2000 L
The algebraic solution is:
Let <em>c</em> equal the capacity of the tank.
Therefore, <em>c</em> × 0.625 = 1250.
Divide both sides by 0.625:
<em>c</em> × 0.625 ÷ 0.625 = 1250 ÷ 0.625
And simplify:
<em>c</em> = 1250 ÷ 0.625
<em>c</em> = 2000
Answer:
p(0) = 800
p(8) = 997
Step-by-step explanation:
p(t) = 800 * (1.028)^t
The current price is when t=0
p(0) = 800 * (1.028)^0
= 800(1)
= 800
The price in 8 years
p(8) = 800 * (1.028)^8
=997.7802522414861936754688
To the nearest dollar
= 998
