Answer:

2 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Rate of river current = x km/h

Speed of Peter's boat = 4x km/h

He takes 15 km trip up (opposite direction)

His speed upstream = 4x - x

= 3x

His speed is 3x and distance is 15 km

Time = Distance / Speed

15/3x

= 5/x

And

Moving downstream (same direction)

Speed will be 4x + x = 5x

Distance = 15km,

speed = 5x

Time = Distance / Speed

= 15/5x

= 3/x

Total time take for trip = 4 hours

Total time take for trip = upstream + downstream

4 =5/x + 3/x

4 = 8/x

Cross product

4 * x = 8

x = 8/4

x = 2

Rate of river current = x km/h

= 2 km/h

PLS HELP RN <br> $4000 student loan. 10% compound interest annually. Total loan amount by 4 years?
ddd [48]

Answer:

$2,400

Step-by-step explanation:

We get 10% of 4,000 by dividing 4,000 by 10.

4,000 ÷ 10 = 400

To get the amount that 4,000 is subtracted by we multiply 400 by 4.

400 × 4 = 1,600

To get the answer we subtract 4,000 by 1,600.

4,000 - 1,600 = 2,400

Hope I helped!

  2. The sum of grades in Alice's group is 10×90=900
  3. The sum of gradees in the combined group is =1400+900=2300
  4. Then the mean grade of the combined group is \frac{2300}{30}=76.67

where

  • 2300 is the sum of the all grades in the combined group
  • 30 is the total number of people in the group
