Suppose the speed that they paddled was x mi/h
speed of current was 3 mi/h
speed of moving upstream
(x-3) mi/h
speed of moving downstream
(x+3) mi/h
one way distance=24/2=12 miles
time taken to move up stream:
12/(x-3) hr
time taken to move downstream
12/(x+3) hr
total time they paddled:
(8:30 a.m -4:00 p.m)-(1:30)
=7.5-1.5
=7 hours
thus
12/(x-3)+12/(x+3)=7
solving for x we get:
=24x/(x-3)(x+3)
24x/(x^2-9)=7
thus
x=5.1695~5.2 hours
x=5.2 mi/hr
thus
time taken to paddle downstream:
12/(5.2-3)
=5 5/11 hours
=5 3/11 hours
=5 hours 27 minutes
~5 hours 25 minutes
Answer:
E
Step-by-step explanation:
-4+9=5 and the only one where y is equal to 5 is E
The opposite of East is West.
The opposite of South is North.
He would need to fly North West
The three odd consecutive numbers are 27,29,31
Where are the boxes we’re looking at??
