1 answer:
9514 1404 393
Answer:
- 24.6 Nm north
- 67.7 Nm west
Step-by-step explanation:
In x-y coordinates, the direction is 70° CCW from 90° (north), so is 160° from the +x axis. In 4 hours at 18 Nm/h, the ship will travel 4×18 Nm = 72 Nm.
The coordinates in the x-y plane can be found to be ...
72(cos(160°), sin(160°)) ≈ (-67.7, 24.6)
The ship traveled 67.7 nautical miles west and 24.6 nautical miles north from the port.

Answer:
3 gallons.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that Jen picked 3/4 of a gallon of strawberries in a half an hour.
Let us convert our given time in minutes.
1 hour= 60 minutes.
1/2 hour= 30 minutes.
So 2 hours= 120 minutes.
Let us find the number of gallons of strawberries picked by Jen in 30 minutes by dividing 3/4 by 30.
Now let us multiply 1/40 by 120 to find the number of gallons of strawberries picked by Jen in 120 minutes(2 hours).
Therefore, Jen picked 3 gallons of strawberries in 2 hours.
