The speed of the current is 7 miles per
hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let × represent speed of the current.
We have been given that a motorboat
maintained a constant speed of 11 miles per
hour relative to the water in going 18 miles
upstream and then returning.
The speed of motorboat while going
upstream would be 11
The speed of motorboat while going
downstream would be 11 + 2

Question:
A population of insects, in thousands, can be modeled using the function
, where t is time in months. Which statement best
describes the population of insects?
A. The population is decaying at a rate of 3% each month.
B. The population is decaying at a rate of 25% each month.
C. The population is growing at a rate of 75% each month.
D. The population is growing at a rate of 97% each month.
Answer:
A. The population is decaying at a rate of 3% each month.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Required
True statement about the function
From the options, we can see that we are to answer the question on the basis of decay and growing rates.
An exponential form is:
Compare to
If 
, then 
r represents growth rate
else, 
r represents decay rate
Since b < 0.97:
So square feet is area which is legnth times width or area=lw or a=lw
width=w=2 2/4
2/4=1/2
w=2 1/2=5/2
a=lw
11 11/16=187/16
187/16=l(5/2)
multiply both sides by 2/5 to clear the fraction (1/2 times 2/1=2/2=1)
374/80=legnth
simplify
374/80=187/40=4 27/40=legnth
legnh must be less than 5 and 4 and 27/40 is less than 5 so it will fit
Well all the factors of 32 are 1 and 32, 2 and 16, 4 and 8.
To answer the question, you need to determine the amount Mr. Traeger has left to spend, then find the maximum number of outfits that will cost less than that remaining amount.
Spent so far:
... 273.98 + 3×7.23 +42.36 = 338.03
Remaining available funds:
... 500.00 -338.03 = 161.97
The cycling outfits are about $80 (slightly less), and this amount is about $160 (slightly more), which is 2 × $80.
Mr. Traeger can buy two (2) cycling outfits with the remaining money.
_____
The remaining money is 161.97/78.12 = 2.0733 times the cost of a cycling outfit. We're sure he has no interest in purchasing a fraction of an outfit, so he can afford to buy 2 outfits.
