Answer:
a)27-x
b)27+x
Step-by-step explanation:
when a boat travels in the same direction as the current is downstream-->speeds the boat. If the rate of the boat in still water is 27 mph and the rate of the current of a river is x mph, the rate of the boat when the boat is going downstream is 27+x
when a boat travels against the current is upstream-->slow down. If the rate of the boat in still water is 27 mph and the rate of the current of a river is x mph, the rate of the boat when the boat is going upstream is 27-x
Set up 2 equations.(x = number of people in first class, y = tourist class)
30x + 25y = 1360
x + y = 52
You have 2 equations and 2 unknown. You can solve them.
I like to use the substitution method
Because y = 52 - x
Then 30x + 25(52 - x) = 1360, solve for x.
30x + 1300 - 25x = 1360
5x = 60
x = 12
Use the x to solve y
30(12) + 25y = 1360
360 + 25y = 1360
25y = 1000
y = 40
Answer:
7/24
Step-by-step explanation:
1/8 + 1/6
First get a common denominator of 24
1/8 * 3/3 = 3/24
1/6 * 4/4 = 4/24
3/24 + 4/24 = 7/24
The given information permits us to calculate the circumference (C) of the wheel as follows
Then (as you said correctly!) the same wheel will move
after 16 rolls.
