The two boats picked for the trip are the steamboat and the tall ship. Let us assume that we will take the steamboat going to the island, and then we will take the tall ship for the return trip. We will then relate the distances travelled by both ships to each other.

2. We know that the steamboat takes five hours to complete the trip. The tall ship takes more time, at ten hours to complete the trip. We do not have the exact speeds of the steamboat or of the tall ship, but we do know that the tall ship is 10 knots slower than the steamboat. We likewise do not know the exact distance travelled by either ship, but we do know that both travel the same distance. We want to find out how fast each boat travels. We expect the answers to be in knots, with a difference of 10.

3. We know that distance is equivalent to the product of speed of a boat multiplied by the time of travel. For the trip going to the island, we will use the steamboat. Let its speed be x knots (equivalent to x nautical miles per hour), and let the distance going to the island be d nautical miles. Given that the time takes is 5 hours, this means that d = 5x.

4. If we let x be the speed of the boat you are taking to the island (the steamboat), then we know that the speed of the other boat (the tall ship) is 10 knots less than the steamboat's. So the speed of the tall ship (for the return trip) is (x - 10) knots.

5. Similar to part 3: we will multiply speed by time to determine the distance from the island. From part 4, we have determined that the speed of the tall ship to be used in returning is (x - 10) knots. Meanwhile, the given in the problem says that the tall ship will take 10 hours to make the trip. Therefore the distance will be equal to d = 10(x - 10) = 10x - 100 nautical miles.

6. We can assume that the distance travelled going to the island is the same distance travelled coming back. Therefore, we can equate the formula for distance from part 3 for the steamboat, to the distance from part 5 for the tall ship.
5x = 10x - 100

7. Solving for x: 5x = 10x - 100
-5x = -100
x = 20
Since x is the speed of the steamboat, x = 20 means that the steamboat's speed is 20 knots.

8. We determined in part 4 that the speed of the second boat (in our case, the tall ship) is (x - 10) knots. Since we have calculated in part 7 that the steamboat travels at x = 20 knots, then the speed of the tall ship is (x - 10) = 20 - 10 = 10 knots.

Mario invests £2000 for 3 years at 5% per annum compound interest. Calculate the value of the investment at the end of 3 years.
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

$2315.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Principal=  £2000

Time= 3 years

Rate= 5%

The compound interest expression is

A= P(1+r)^t

substitute

A= 2000(1+0.05)^3

A= 2000(1.05)^3

A= 2000*1.157625

A= 2315.25

Hence the Amount is $2315.25

I need help finishing a question. I used the explanation function on the program, but it didn't specify what to do to get the fi
leva [86]

I would compute sqrt(1 + 160pi^2) first to get approximately 39.75093337

Add this to 1 and we have 40.75093337

Then divide over 2pi to get a final approximate result of 6.48571248

So x = 6.48571248 is one approximate solution

In short, I computed \frac{1+\sqrt{1+160\pi^2}}{2\pi} only focusing on the plus for now.

----------------------

If you were to compute \frac{1-\sqrt{1+160\pi^2}}{2\pi} you should get roughly -6.167402596 as your other solution. Each solution can then be plugged into the original equation to check if you get 0 or not. You likely won't land exactly on 0 but you'll get close enough.

Cindy's truck get 16 miles per gallon plans to buy a hybrid car that gets 48 miles per gallon and cost 20,599 how many miles wha
mina [271]
So the questioon is asking for how many gass refils she would have saved so we want to find how many gas refils equals to  the cost of the car so
3.49x=20,599
divide both sides by 3.49 and get x=miles=5902 gas refils
each gass refil fo r the truck is every 16 mile so 16 times 5902 or 94432 miles

Calvin's rug covers 1/8 of the floor space in his bedroom how much floor space would be covered if Calvin had four rugs of that
ankoles [38]
Each rug is 1/8 of the floor space. So, 4 rugs would cover half of the floor space. Multiply, then reduce.
4(1/8)=4/8 or 1/2
