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

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

$1382

3455 is 5/7 of salary so divide 3455/5 = 691

then multiply 691x2 because rent is 2/7 of salary

691x2 = 1382

Answer:

(-1, 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint of a line segment is effectively the point that lies halfway between two pairs of coordinates on a line. The coordinates we're concerned with here are (-4, 10) and (2, 2). So first think about what is halfway between -4 and 2 (or you can add -4 and 2 then divide by 2) and do the same with 10 and 2. This will give you (-1, 6).
