Answer:
5/7
Step-by-step explanation:
read the graph
Given:
8:03 = 188 empty seats
8:10 = 160 empty seat
188 - 160 = 28 empty seats
8:10 - 8:03 = 0:07 minutes
28 / 7 minutes = 4 empty seats per minute
8:00 - 8:03 = 3 minutes
3 minutes * 4 seats per minute = 12 seats
188 + 12 = 200 empty seats at 8:00
8:15 - 8:10 = 0:05 minutes
5 minutes * 4 seats per minute = 20 empty seats
160 - 20 = 140 empty seats at 8:15
200 - 120 = 80 empty seats
80 empty seats / 4 empty seats per minute = 20 minutes
120 empty seats at 8:20.
8:00 = 200 empty seats
200 / 4 = 50 minutes
8:00 + 0:50 = 8:50 is the time when there are no empty seats left.
Answer: The speed of rowing is 3.56 miles per hour and speed of current is 1.06 miles per hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Let the speed of boat in still water be 'x'.
Let the speed of current be 'y'.
Distance = 1 mile
For Upstream, speed would be

For downstream, speed would be

By graphing method we get that
x = 3.558 miles/hr
and y = 1.058 miles/hr
Hence, the speed of rowing is 3.56 miles per hour and speed of current is 1.06 miles per hour.
3b - a = 45
a = 2b + 40
Solve simultaneously.
3b - (2b + 40) = 45
3b - 2b - 40 = 45
b = 45 + 40
b = 95min (1 hour 35 min)
a = 2 (95) + 40
a = 230min ( 3 hour 50 min)
