Answer:
15 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say the dock is at the origin on a coordinate plane and each unit is 1 mile. If the boat travels 9 mile due north, that means that we move up from the origin (0, 0) 9 units to point A (0, 9). Now, this boat moves 12 miles due west, so we will go 12 units to the left of (0, 9) to point B (-12, 9). See the attached drawing (sorry for the crudeness).
Notice that this is a right triangle with legs of 9 and 12. That means the distance from the boat to the dock is just the hypotenuse, so use the Pythagorean Theorem: distance = 
Thus, the answer is 15 miles.
Hope this helps!

Answer:
I may be wrong but i think the answer is D
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that y=10, so if we were to multiply 10 by 7.50, it would be 75, not 63, so A and B wouldn't be correct. and we don't know the value of x, so I think D is the best answer.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation: We have to add how much time it took him to do all of his homework. To do this, we have to add 2/3 and 3/5.
First, we have to find a LCM between 3 and 5.
The LCM between those numbers are 15.
Next we find out what number to multiply 3 by to get 15, we multiply it by 5.
2 * 5 = 10
3 * 5 = 15
Next we find out what number to multiply 5 by to get 15, we multiply it by 3.
3 * 3 = 9
5 * 3 = 15
10/15+9/15=19/15
We are left off with 1 4/15
So it took him 1 hour and 4/15 minutes to do his homework.
Answer:
79.94 / 4 - 5.98 = 14 dollars and 5 cents
Step-by-step explanation:
If the DVDs were the same amount of money and he bought 4 of them and your total is 79.94 dollars you have to divide four from it because the DVDs are the same cost then your going to subtract 5.98 because that is shipping and your trying to find the total of the DVD and you get 14 dollars and 5 cents.
