Answer:

  • 24 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The speed of the boat  in the lake = x
  • The speed of the current = 3 km/h

<u>Required equation:</u>

  • 54 / (x + 3) + 42 / (x - 3) = 96/x
  • 9x(x - 3) + 7x(x + 3) = 16(x + 3)(x - 3)
  • 9x² - 27x + 7x² + 21x = 16x² - 144
  • 6x = 144
  • x = 144/6
  • x = 24 km/h

1. How can you find the decimal forms of 3/12 and 2/9?
Helga [31]

Answer:

1. 0.472

2. 0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

1. reduce the fraction with 3 = 1\4 + 2\9

write all numerators above the Least common denominator 36 =9 + 8\36

Add numbers = 17\36 and the alternate form is 0.472

2. Divide the numerator and denominator by three = 3 ÷ 3\12 ÷ 3 = 0.25

I can't do the others now I have an exam(sorry)

The speed of the current is 7 mph. The boat travels three times slower against the current than with the current. What is the sp
kotykmax [81]
Let the speed of the boat be x
so going against the current the speed is x-7
going with the current the speed is x+7

let the distance be d
time = distance / speed
time to go against the current = d/(x-7)
time to go with the current = d/(x+7)

time going against the current is 3 times going <span>with the current
</span>
d/(x-7) = 3d/(x+7)     ⇒⇒⇒ divide by d 
1/(x-7) = 3/(x+7) 
x+7 = 3(x-7) 
x+7 = 3x - 21
2x = 28
x = 14

So, the speed of the boat in still water is = 14 mph
