A fish swins 12 miles upstream in 4 hours. The return trip only takes 3 hours. Find the rate of the current

Answer:

1/2 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Distance traveled, D = 12 miles

Upstream Swim time = 4 hours

Return swim time = 3 hours

Upstream rate = 12/4 = 3 mph

Return rate = 12/3 = 4 mph

Let

swim rate = s

Current rate = c

s - c = upstream rate

s + c = return rate

s - c = 3 - - - (1)

s + c = 4 - - -(2)

From (1)

s = 3 + c

Put into (2)

3 + c + c = 4

3 + 2c = 4

2c = 4 - 3

2c = 1

c = 1/2 mph

Hence, rate of current = 0.5mph

If you pick a gumball at random, put it back, and then pick another gumball at random, what is the probability of picking a blue
Fynjy0 [20]
Hi there!

It depends on how many colors of gumballs there are and how many gumballs there are in total. With those, we can set the fraction to each gumball color.

Hope this helps!

Anyone who could do these 8 listed questions I will give a generous amount of points. Please make sure to list all the angles th
k0ka [10]

Answer:

1) 0, 180

2) 90

3) 3pi/2

4) pi/2, -3pi/2

5) 90, 270

6) 0

7) pi

8) -2pi, 0, 2pi

Step-by-step explanation:

1) sinx = 0

x = 0, 180, 360

2) sinx = 1

x = 90

3) sinx = -1

x = 270 or 3pi/2

4) sinx = 1

x = pi/2, pi/2 - 2pi = -3pi/2

5) cosx = 0

x = 90, 360

6) cosx = 1

x = 0, 360

7) cosx = -1

x = pi

8) cosx = 1

What is the constant of proportionality in the table below?
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:  \dfrac{2}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

The constant of proportionality 'k' between two variables ( one independent and one dependent ) is given by :-

k=\dfrac{\text{Value of dependent variable}}{\text{Value of independent variable}}

In the given table, independent variable = Days

Dependent variable = Total Miles

From first row,  Days = 3

Total Miles = 1\dfrac{1}{5}=\dfrac{6}{5}

Then, the constant of proportionality in the table

k=\dfrac{\dfrac{6}{5}}{3}=\dfrac{6}{5\times3}=\dfrac{2}{5}

Hence, the constant of proportionality in the table is \dfrac{2}{5} .
