Answer:

boat speed 79 kph

stream speed 16kph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let v be the still water velocity

Let s be the stream velocity

3(v - s) = 189

3v - 3s = 189

   v - s = 63

        v = 63 + s

         5(v + s) = 475

         5v + 5s = 475

5(63 + s) + 5s = 475

315 + 5s + 5s = 475

               10s = 160

                  s = 16 km/hr

v = 63 + 16

v = 79 km/hr

A picnic was arranged for the members of a club. The organizer started calling all the members to find how many members would be
maxonik [38]
Answer: 13.6% needed more time but then said no. 25.6% were contacted but said no.

To do this problem, you have to create a tree diagram with all of the possibilities.

The first branch separates with 20% not being contacted and 80% being contacted.

Then, the 80% branch can be broken into 12% saying no and 68% needing more time (multiply by 15% and 85%).

Then, the 68% branch can be broken into 54.4% going and 13.6 not going (multiply by 80% and 20%).

With the tree diagram, just pick the percents that you need.

Interior and exterior of angles of triangles <br> please help !!
densk [106]

Answer:

x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming you require the value of x

The exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the 2 opposite interior angles.

7x - 15 is an exterior angle of the triangle, thus

7x - 15 = x + 28 + 4x - 3 , that is

7x - 15 = 5x + 25 ( subtract 5x from both sides )

2x - 15 = 25 ( add 15 to both sides )

2x = 40 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 20

Identify the interval that is not equal to the other three. Explain your reasoning. (Intervals are 15-19; 30-34; 40-45; 45-49)
ahrayia [7]
40-45 isn't equal to the other three, because the other intervals increase by 4, but 40-45 increases by 5.
