in a bottle and drops it into the river. the bottle floats in the current and reaches at 7 : 40 AM the point where Johnny and his father began the trip. If the speed of the boat in still water is 9 km/h, what is the speed of the river current?

Answer:

4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Probably too late for your RSM homework, but here is the solution:

6/(9-x) [Time they motored upstream] +6/x [Time it took the bottle to get back to the starting point] = 8/3 [Total Time]

Simplify to 54/(x(9-x))=8/3

Cross multiply: 162=(8x)(9-x)

Simplify -x^2+9x=20.25

Multiply both sides by negative one and move 20.25 to the other side. x^2-9x+20.25=0

Solve and get 4.5 :D!

Location Score Factor (100 points each) Weight A B C Convenience 0.15 89 78 84 Parking facilities 0.20 75 93 98 Display area 0.1
Olin [163]

The maximum composite score from A, B, and C is B.

The computation of the composite score for each location is shown below

The composite score for A is,

= 0.15 × 89 + .20 × 75 + 0.18 × 92 + 0.27 × 92 + 0.10 × 93 + 0.10 × 90

= 88.05

<h3>What is the composite score?</h3>

The Composite score is the average of your four test scores, rounded to the nearest whole number. Fractions less than one-half are rounded down; fractions one-half or more are rounded up.

The composite score for B is

= 0.15 × 78 + .20 × 93 + 0.18 × 90 + 0.27 × 93 + 0.10 × 97 + 0.10 × 96

= 90.91

The composite score for C is

= 0.15 × 84 + .20 × 98 + 0.18 × 87 + 0.27 × 82 + 0.10 × 84 + 0.10 × 95

= 87.90

Therefore for computing the composite score for each location we simply multiply the weight by the A location and in the same manner as A, B, and C

b. The maximum composite score from A, B, and C is B.

Hey there!

All we need to do is multiply the unit price of the pencil ($.35) by how many pencils she wants to buy (4)

$.35 x 4 = $1.40

Therefore, she will pay $1.40 for 4 pencils

Hope this helps you!
