Answer:

360 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Let stream speed = x

Speed of water = 3km/hr

Therefore,

Upstream speed = (x - 3) km/hr

Downstream speed = (x + 3) km/hr

Time taken downstream = 15 hours

Time taken upstream = 20 hours

Recall:

Distance = speed * time

Upstream Distance = downstream distance

20(x - 3) = 15(x + 3)

20x - 60 = 15x + 45

20x - 15x = 45 + 60

5x = 105

x = 105 / 5

x = 21

Upstream speed = (21 - 3) = 18

Distance between the two towns :

18 * 20 = 360 km

The student council had six fund raisers during the school year. They raised $212, $205, $206, $190, $188, and $195. Using the c
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

$1200

Step-by-step explanation:

The clustering method for estimation is a method used for estimating the sums and products of numbers. This method is used when the numbers that are to be multiplied or added are near in value to a single number.

Given the money raised by six fund raisers:

$212, $205, $206, $190, $188, and $195

The numbers are to be added to find the total money raised. i.e.:

$212 + $205 + $206 + $190 + $188 + $195

But all the numbers are close to $200. Hence:

Using clustering method = $200 + $200 + $200 + $200 + $200 + $200 = 6 * $200 = $1200

Four loads of stone weigh 2/3 ton. find the weight of 1 load of stone
uranmaximum [27]
4 loads of stone ... 2/3 ton
1 load of stone ... x ton = ?

If you would like to know the weight of 1 load of stone, you can calculate this using the following steps:

4 * x = 2/3 * 1
4 * x = 2/3       /4
x = 2/3 / 4
x = 2/12 = 1/6 ton

The correct result would be 1/6 ton.

What is the measure in degrees for the central angle of a circle whose radius is 9 cm and intercepted arc length is 7.2 cm?
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

Therefore the measure of the central angle is 45.86°.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Radius = 9 cm

arc length = 7.2 cm

pi = 3.14

To Find:

Central angle = θ =?

Solution:

If the θ  measured in degree then the arc length is given as

\textrm{arc lenght}=\dfrac{\theta}{360\°}\times 2\pi r

Where r = radius, θ = Central angle

On substituting the values we get

7.2=\dfrac{\theta}{360}\times 2\times 3.14\times 9\\\\\theta=\dfrac{2592}{56.52}=45.8598=45.86\\\therefore \theta=45.86\°

Therefore the measure of the central angle is 45.86°.
