Answer:

Time taken by the un powered raft to cover this distance is T = 192.12 hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Let speed of boat = u \frac{km}{hr}

Speed of current = v \frac{km}{hr}

Let distance between A & B = 100 km

Time taken in downstream = 32 hours

32 = \frac{100}{u +v}

u + v = \frac{100}{32}

u + v = 3.125 ------ (1)

Time taken in upstream = 48 hours

48 = \frac{100}{u -v}

u -v = \frac{100}{48}

u - v = 2.084 ------- (2)

By solving equation (1) & (2)

u = 2.6045 \frac{km}{hr}

v = 0.5205 \frac{km}{hr}

Now the time taken by the un powered raft to cover this distance

T = \frac{100}{v}

Because un powered raft travel with the speed of the current.

T = \frac{100}{0.5205}

T = 192.12 hr

Therefore the  time taken by the un powered raft to cover this distance is

T = 192.12 hr

Melissa had 7 pages of homework! She only completed 5 before her soccer practice. Choose the division problem that shows what fr
wariber [46]

Answer: 5/7

Step-by-step explanation: 7/5 is 1.4, which doesn't make sense as an answer here because it's a number greater than one, while we're looking for a number that can be made into a simple fraction, decimal or percent. 5 x 7 = 35, which also doesn't make sense for the same reasons but also because the answer is a division problem and this is multiplication. 7/7 equals one, which doesn't make sense because Melissa hasn't finished 100% of her homework yet. Therefore, the answer is 5/7.
