Answer:
The speed on motorboat is 20 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
here, we want to find the speed on the motorboat
if he has a speed of x mph on the motor boat, his speed on the ski will be (x + 10) mph
The total hours is 4 hours
Mathematically; speed = distance/time
Time on ski is 27/x+ 10
Time on motor boat is 62/x
The addition of both is 4
Thus;
27/(x + 10) + 62/x = 4
27(x) + 62(x + 10) = 4(x)(x + 10)
27x + 62x + 620 = 4(x^2 + 10x)
89x + 620 = 4x^2 + 40x
4x^2 -49x-620 = 0
using the quadratic formula;
{-b ± √(b^2-4ac)}/2a
where a = 4, b = -49 and c = -620
= 49 ± √(-49)^2-4(4)(-620)/8
So we have
49+ 111/8 or 49-111/8
Speed cannot be negative
(49 + 111)/8
= 20 mph
Answer:
1800 potatoes
Step-by-step explanation:
60ft x 60ft = 3600 square feet
3600/2=1800
They must travel 682 miles because 596+612=1,208 and 1,890-1,208=682

Answer:
270 words per minute
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given 180 words in 2 minutes, this means Toni can type 180/2 = 90 words per minute (90wpm).
Thus, in the same ratio/rate, Toni would be able to type:
90 * 3 = 270 words per minute.
Correct answer 270 wpm
