Answer: 13
Althoug each round trip takes 9 minutes and can carry 5 people on the boat, you can not just divide the 20 minutes time by 9 and multiply by 5 to find the number of people that are saved without getting wet.
First trip:
5 people take the boat to the island but only 4 can stay, because one has to return with the boat to the ship to rescue other 4 people.
So, when 9 minutes have passed, 4 people are safe on the island and the boat is again by the ship.
Second trip:
In the second trip, other 4 people are rescued,along with "sailor" who returned in the boat to rescue them.
When it has passed 18 minutes, the boat is next to the ship agin to carry other 4 people before the boat sinks.
This is the last trip before the boat sinks. So, the total number of passengers rescued is 4 + 4 + 5 = 13
Answer:
2.25 feet
31.5 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the person travels 9 feet every 4 seconds, it means that in one second, the distance walked
= 9/4
= 2.25 feet
If the person walks 2.25 feet in a second then in 14 seconds, the distance walked
= 2.25*14/1
= 31.5 feet
