As an estimation we are told 5 miles is 8 km. Convert 70 miles to km. km

Answer:  112 km

=====================================================

Work Shown:

(5 miles)/(8 km) = (70 miles)/(x km)

5/8 = 70/x

5*x = 8*70 ... cross multiply

5x = 560

x = 560/5 .... divide both sides by 5

x = 112

According to the given estimation, 70 miles converts to 112 km.

The more accurate conversion is approximately 70 miles = 112.65408 km, so this estimation isn't too far off.

avanturin [10]

Answer: 7 x + 6 = 6 x minus 3

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. 2 (x + 3) + 5 x = 3 (2 x minus 1)
  2. Now you distribute.
  3. 2(x) + 2(3) = 2x+6
  4. And 3(2x) minus 3(1) = 6x minus 3
  5. 2x+6+5x = 6x minus 3
  6. Then combine like terms
  7. 2x +5x=7x and there are no other like terms on either side of the equation.
  8. 7x+6= 6x minus 3

Simplify the expression (3 1/4)^2 to demonstrate the power of a power property. Show any intermittent steps that demonstrate how
vichka [17]

Answer:

By property of power of a power:

(3^{\frac{1}{4}} )^{2}=3^{(\frac{1}{2})}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that (3^{\frac{1}{4}} )^{2}

The property of power of a power is given by,

=(a^{b} )^{2}

=(a^{b} )\times (a^{b} )

=(a^{(b+b)} )

Using the property of power of a power:

=(3^{\frac{1}{4}} )^{2}

=(3^{\frac{1}{4}} )\times (3^{\frac{1}{4}} )

=3^{(\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4})}

=3^{(\frac{1}{2})}

A motorboat can go 8 miles downstream on a river in 20 minutes. It takes 30 minutes for the boat to go upstream the same 8 miles
mylen [45]

Answer:

4 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say m is the speed of the motor boat, and r is the speed of the river.

20 minutes is 1/3 hour, and 30 minutes is 1/2 hour.

Distance = rate × time

8 = (m + r) × 1/3

8 = (m − r) × 1/2

We want to find the value of r.  Let's start by solving for m in one equation, then substitute into the other.

8 = (m − r) × 1/2

16 = m − r

m = r + 16

8 = (m + r) × 1/3

8 = (r + 16 + r) × 1/3

8 = (2r + 16) × 1/3

24 = 2r + 16

8 = 2r

r = 4

The speed of the river's current is 4 miles per hour.
