First we need to know how much each pen costs. So we take 11.77 and divide it by 11. That gives us 1.07 per pen. So answer choice A has 4 pens for 4.44, so we need to multiply 1.07 x 4. That gives you 4.28, so we know that isn't the correct answer. For option B, we need to multiply 1.07 x 5. That is 5.35, so that also can't be the answer. For C, we need to do 1.07 x 6, and that gives us 6.42. So we know the correct answer is option C.
Answer:
rate boat = 15 mph
rate current = 5 mph
explanation:
d = r * t
t = d/r
240 / (r_boat + current) = 12 Multiply both sides by r_boat + r_current.
240 = 12(r_boat + current)
240/ (r_boat - current) = 24 Multiply both sides by r_boat - r_current
240 = 24*(r_boat - current)
Since the distances are the same in both equations, you can equate the right side of each.
12 (r_boat + current) = 24(r_boat - current) Divide by 12
r_boat + current = 2 (r_boat - current) Remove the brackets.
r_boat + current = 2*r_boat - 2* current add 2 currents to both sides
r_boat + 3currents = 2*r_boat Subtract r_boat both sides
3 currents = r_boat.
240 = 12*(r_boat + current. Divide by 12
20 = r_boat + current Put 3 currents in for r_boat
20 = 3currents + 1 current Combine
20 = 4 currents Divide by 4
5 = current
The rate of the current = 5 miles / hour
3 currents = r_boat
3*5 = rate_boat
15 = rate of the boat
The answer is D because all the rest of the statments are untrue. d is also right because 4 people walked 3-5 miles and 3 people walked 6-8 miles and as you know, 3+4=7
It would weight 18lbs i believe
