Answer:

1. x=6

2. x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

2:6

x:18

From 6 to 18, 6 was multiplied by 3. To keep the equality, we must multiply the other side by three as well. Therefore, x is equal to 2*3 which equals 6.

x=6.

5:7

(x+3):7

For this one, the second value did not change, so we know that x+3 has to equal 5. Therefore, x=2.

x=2

An amount of $180 is shared among three people in the ratio x: y: z.

sammy [17]

Answer:

$110 and $30

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we need to know the total share which is,

$4 + 11 + 3 = 18$

Then, you need to know the fraction of the share over the total, such that

$x = \frac{4}{18}$

$y = \frac{11}{18}$

$z = \frac{3}{18}$

So if to find how much that'll be of the $180 for the largest and smallest share,

Largest:

$\frac{11}{18} \times 180 = 110$

Smallest:

$\frac{3}{18} \times 180 = 30$

You are wakeboarding on a river. You travel 2 miles downstream to a marina for supplies, and then you travel 3 miles upstream to

Zielflug [23.3K]

Let x represent the speed of of boat.

We have been given that the river current is 3 miles per hour.

The speed of boat upstream will be $x-3$ .

The speed of boat downstream would be $x+3$ .

$\text{Time}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}$

We have been given that you travel 2 miles downstream to a marina for supplies, and then you travel 3 miles upstream to a dock.

We can represent this information in an equation as:

$\text{Time}=\frac{2}{x+3}+\frac{3}{x-3}$

Since the speed of the boat is 18 miles per hour, so we will substitute $x=18$ in above equation and solve for time.

$\text{Time}=\frac{2}{18+3}+\frac{3}{18-3}$

$\text{Time}=\frac{2}{21}+\frac{3}{15}$

$\text{Time}=\frac{2}{21}+\frac{1}{5}$

$\text{Time}=\frac{2\cdot 5}{21\cdot 5}+\frac{1\cdot 21}{5\cdot 21}$

$\text{Time}=\frac{10}{105}+\frac{21}{105}$

$\text{Time}=\frac{31}{105}$

$\text{Time}=0.295238095$

Since time is in hours, so let us convert our given time in minutes.

1 hour = 60 minutes.

$\text{Time}=0.295238095\times 60\text{ minutes}$

$\text{Time}=17.7142857\text{ minutes}$

Rounding to nearest tenth of minute.

$\text{Time}\approx 17.7\text{ minutes}$

Therefore, it will take approximately 17.7 minutes for the boat to take the trip.
