3/10 + 17/100
first make the 10 of the 3/10 turn into a 100 so it will make the 100 of the 17/100.
to make 10 turn into a 100 you multiply it by 10. if you're going to multiply the bottom number by 10 then you have to do the same thing with the top number:
3/10 * 10/10
3*10=30
10*10=100
new equation:
30/100 + 17/100
now just add the top numbers and leave the 100's alone:
<span>30/100 + 17/100
</span>30+17=47
<span>30/100 + 17/100 = 47/100</span>
To answer this item, we have 4 as the speed of the kayaker in still water and the speed of current be y.
When the karayaker moves upstream or against the current, his speed would be 4 - y. Further, if he moves downstream or with the current, the total speed would be 4 + y. The time utilized for the travel is equal to the ratio of the distance and the speed.
Total time = 9/(4 - y) + 9/(4 + y) = 6
We multiply the equation by (4-y)(4+y)
9(4-y) + 9(4 + y) = 6(4-y)(4+y)
Simplifying,
72 = 96 - 6y²
Transposing all the constants to only one side of the equation and rearranging,
6y² = 96 - 72
y² = 4
y = 2
Hence, the speed of the river's current is 2 miles/hr. <em>The answer is letter B.) 2 miles/hour.</em>
(x + 6)(4x + 1)
x times 4x = 4x^2
x times 1 = x
6 times 4x = 24x
6 times 1 = 6
<span>And finally, by adding like terms, 4x^2 + 25x + 6
I hope this helps you! Good luck :)</span>
