Answer:

1.5 km/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

d is the David's speed in still water

c is the speed of the current

Going with the current, he travels d+c km per hour.

Going against the current, he travels d-c km per hour.

d+c = (20 km)/(2.5 hours) = 8 km/hour

d-c = (20 km)/(4 hours) = 5 km/hour

Add the equations to eliminate the c terms

d+c = 8

d-c = 5

----------

2d = 13

d = 6.5 km/hour

c = 8-d = 1.5 km/hour

I drove to the beach at a rate of 40 miles per hour. If I had driven at a rate of 30 miles per hour instead, then I would have a
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

40 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set <em>x</em> to the number of miles driven, and <em>t</em> to the number of hours it took to drive.

We know that 40<em>t</em> is equal to <em>x</em>.

We also know that 40<em>t</em> is equal to 30(<em>t</em> + 1/3).

Solve for t:

40t = 30(t+1/3)

40t = 30t + 10

Subtract 30t from both sides:

10t = 10

Divide 10 from both sides:

t = 1

40t = 40 x 1 = 40 miles

3. The ratio of the width to the length of a rectangle is 4:5. If the area of the rectangle is 500 square centimeters, what is t
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

<h2>           25 centimeters​</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio 4:5 means:

width: W = 4x

length: L = 5x

Area of rectangle:  A = W×L

Therefore:

              500 = 4x×5x

               500 = 20x²

               50 = 2x²

                x² = 25

                x = 5

W = 4×5 = 20 cm

L = 5×5 = 25 cm
