<u>Question 1 solution:</u>
You have two unknowns here:
Let the Water current speed = W
Let Rita's average speed = R
We are given <em>two </em>situations, where we can form <em>two equations</em>, and therefore solve for the <em>two unknowns, W, R</em>:
Part 1) W→ , R←(against current, upstream)
If Rita is paddling at 2mi/hr against the current, this means that the current is trying to slow her down. If you look at the direction of the water, it is "opposing" Rita, it is "opposite", therefore, our equation must have a negative sign for water<span>:
</span>R–W=2 - equation 1
Part 2) W→ , R<span>→</span>(with current)
Therefore, R+W=3 - equation 2
From equation 1, W=R-2,
Substitute into equation 2.
R+(R–2)=3
2R=5
R=5/2mi/hr
So when W=0 (still), R=5/2mi/hr
Finding the water speed using the same rearranging and substituting process:
1... R=2+W
2... (2+W)+W=3
2W=1
W=1/2mi/hr
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x------> the number of days
y----> the cost of renting a car
we know that
For 
For 
The rate is equal to
so
In this problem. the car has been rented for more than a week
therefore
The cost of renting a car is equal to
Answer:
The correct answer is 47.5%, or 0.475.
Step-by-step explanation:
Red apples to all apples:
There are 6 red apples and 13 apples total, so the ratio it 6:13
Green Apples to All Apples:
There are 7 green apples and 13 apples total, so the ratio is 7:13.
