Let
x--------> <span>the speed of the boat in mph
we know that
</span>going upstream the speed is x-7
<span>going downstream the speed is x+7
</span>
let the distance be d
<span>time to go upstream = d/(x-7) </span>
<span>time to go downstream = d/(x+7)
</span>
time going upstream is 3 times going downstream
so
<span>3d/(x+7) = d/(x-7) </span>
<span>divide by d </span>
<span>3/(x+7) = 1/(x-7) </span>
<span>3x-21 = x+7 </span>
<span>2x = 28 </span>
<span>x = 14
</span>
the answer is
<span>the speed of the boat in still water is 14 mph</span>
Yes here is an example:_
x/4 + 5/6 = 2
The LCD of 4 and 6 is 12 but we can also multiply through by 24 to clear the fractions:-
x/4 * 24 + 5/6 * 24 = 2 + 24
6x + 20 = 40
This will give us the same result if we multiplied through by 12.
Answer:
13
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this, lets first find the number of footballs he still needs:
75-24 = 51
Now to find the number of packages, divide by 4, since there are 4 balls per package:
51/4 = 12 Remainder 3
Since there is a remainder, and the Coach MUST have at least 75, then we need to add a package to include the remainder:
12 + 1 = 13 Packages
Answer:
Option b. False
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
A fraction is the quotient between the numerator and denominator.
To convert a fraction into a decimal number, divide the numerator by the denominator
so
The statement is False
