Answer:

rate of the current = 2 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

d = rt

Let c = rate of the current

Rate going downstream = c + 40

Time going downstream = 126/(40 + c)

Rate going up stream =  40 - c

Time going upstream = 114/(40 - c)

Since the times are equal, then

126/(40 + c) = 114/(40 - c)

126(40 - c) = 114(40 + c)

5040 - 126c = 4560 + 114c

   240c  =  480

          c = 2 mph

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

36 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

His entire journey, represented with a diagram, is in the shape of a right angle triangle.

We need to first find the hypotenuse of the triangle, then, add all the sides together:

hyp² = opp² + adj²

hyp² = 9² + 12²

hyp² = 81 + 144 = 225

Find the square root of both sides:

hyp = 15 miles

Therefore, adding the three sides together:

Total distance traveled = 9 + 12 + 15

Total distance traveled = 36 miles

He would ride 36 miles altogether.

I'm a student at LUOA and, this is way too hard. Can someone help me, please?
puteri [66]

The answer is the first one.

Knowing that population density is like a rate, people per a given area, you would take the amount of people and divide by the area.

3.11E7/7.69E6 = 4.02 people per km squared.

Also the “E” is another way to write times 10 to a power and I recommend using that notation when plugging it into a calculator.

Answer: 0.000021 in scientific notation is

2.1 × 10-5

Step-by-step explanation:

All numbers in scientific notation or standard form are written in the form

m × 10n, where m is a number between 1 and 10 ( 1 ≤ |m| < 10 ) and the exponent n is a positive or negative integer.

To convert 0.000021 into scientific notation, follow these steps:

Move the decimal 5 times to right in the number so that the resulting number, m = 2.1, is greater than or equal to 1 but less than 10

Since we moved the decimal to the right the exponent n is negative

n = -5

Write in the scientific notation form m × 10n

= 2.1 × 10-5

Therefore,

2.1 × 10-5 is the scientific notation form of 0.000021 number and 2.1e-5 is the scientific e-notation form for 0.000021

** Hope this helps you! Good Luck!
