Answer:
15/3 + (6.5 + 4.2) - 0.6 = 15.1
Step-by-step explanation:
You can first reduce the fraction to 5 when you multiply by 3, then calculate what's in the parenthesis. So now you have 5 + 10.7 - 0.6, then just solve from left to right. Hope this helps

Answer:
The straight line distance is 5 miles from starting point
Step-by-step explanation:
Let V, be the rate in still water and let C = rate river current
If the boat is going :
upstream, its rate is V-C and if going
downstream, its rate is V+C,
But V = 5C, then
Upstream Rate: 5C - C = 4 C
Downstream rate: 5C+C = 6C
Time = distance/Rate, (or time = distance/speed) , then:
Upstream time 12/4C and
Downstream time: 12/.6C
Upstream time +downstream time:= 2h30 ' then:
12/4C + 12/.6C = 2.5 hours
3/C + 2/C = 5/2 (2.5 h = 5/2)
Reduce to same denominator :
5C = 10 and Rate of the current = 2 mi/h
Because the cos theta < 0 then theta must be an obtuse angle
so a^2 + b^2 < a^2
C
