Answer:
7.5 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
The key here is to find out how much can be done in the same amount ot time
the least common multiple of 5 hrs and 3 hrs is 15hrs
In 15 hours:
- At 5 hours per lawn Norton could mow 15/5 = 3 lawns
- At 3 hours per lawn together thay could mow 15/3 = 5 lawns
In 15 hours Jesse would mow 5 - 3 = 2 lawns
15 hours/ 2 lawns = 7.5 hours per lawn
7.5 hours
--------------------
Here's the math
1 lawn/5hrs + x = 1 lawn / 3hrs
1/5 + x = 1/3
Subtract 1/5 from both sides
x = 1/3 - 1/5
x = 5/15 - 3/15
x = 2/15
x = 2lawns/15 hrs
15hrs/2lawns = 7.5 hrs per lawn
7.5 hours
25 divided by 2305 is 0.0106

Answer:
The speed from the observer is 8 mph.
Step-by-step explanation:
When the boat is going downstream with full force, its speed will be the one the oarsman can row on still water added by the flow of the river. In this case he can row the boat at speed of 3 mph, while the stream is 5 mph, so the speed from the observer standpoint is:
The speed from the observer is 8 mph.
