Answer:
- boat speed: 17.25 mph
- current: 2.5 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Upstream, the speed of the current (c) subtracts from the speed of the boat (b) to give the net speed. Downstream, the speed of the current adds. We can make use of the relation ...
speed = distance/time
b-c = 29.5/2 = 14.75 . . . . . miles/hour
b+c = 59.25/3 = 19.75 . . . .miles/hour
Subtracting the first equation from the second, we get ...
(b+c) -(b-c) = 19.75 -14.75
2c = 5
c = 2.5
Then either equation can be used to find b:
b = 14.75 +c = 17.25
The speed of the boat in still water is 17.25 miles per hour; the speed of the current is 2.5 miles per hour.
Answer:
(D) 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The scale factor of the enlargement of ΔABC to ΔA'B'C' is given by the ratio of the length of the corresponding sides of ΔA'B'C' and ΔABC
Therefore, we have;




Therefore, the scale factor = 2
50% of 1,678.89 = 839.445
10% = 167.889
5% = 83.9445
1% = 16.7889
.5% = 8.39445
Therefore 66% = 1108.0674
and 7.5% = 125.91675
So the two added together is: 1233.98415
To get the percentages simply do the following
50% = divide by two
10% = divide 50% by five OR divide the original number by 10
5% = divide 10% by two or divide 50% by 10
1% = divide 5% by 5 or divide original by 100
.5% = divide 1% by two
