A person swims 11 miles downstream in the same time they can swim 7 miles up stream. The speed of the current is 4 miles per hou

r.
These situations can be represented by the equations
Downstream: t=11/s+4 Upstream:t=7/s-4,
where t stands for time and s is the speed of the swimmer. What is the speed of the swimmer swimming in still water?

Answer:

s = 18 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

At downstream, time is; t = 11/(s+ 4)

At upstream, time is; t = 7/(s - 4)

Since they both are passed in the same time, then ;

11/(s+ 4) = 7/(s - 4)

Cross Multiply to get;

11(s - 4) = 7(s + 4)

11s - 44 = 7s + 28

11s - 7s = 44 + 28

4s = 72

s = 72/4

s = 18

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

the probability is 0.6293

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the probability is shown below:

Given that

n = 5

P = 0.18

As it represents the  binomial distribution

P(X = x) =  ^NC_x× p^x × (1 - p) ^(n - x)

P(X > 1) = 1 - P(X < 1)

= 1 - P(X = 0)

= 1 - ( ^5C_0× (0.18) ^0 × (0.82) ^5)

= 1 - 0.3707

= 0.6293

hence, the probability is 0.6293

what is the first step in finding the consecutive whole numbers between which square root of 845 is located
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

The first step to do is trying to find the closest perfect square less than 845, and the closest perfect square more than 845.

In this case 29^2 (841) is the closest perfect square less than 845, and 30^2 (900) is the closet perfect square more than 845.

In conclusion we will say that 29 < √ 845 < 30.

Hope it helps you.
