Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write a proportion to determine

42 people          6 people

---------------- = ----------------

14 boats                x boats

Using cross products

42x = 6*14

42x =84

Divide each side by 42

42x/42 = 84/42

x = 2

They will need 2 boats

A jogger goes half a mile north and then turns west. If the jogger finishes 1.3 miles away from the starting point, how far west
Ratling [72]
In order to solve this problem, you must draw a right triangle first to help you visualize the path of the jogger. 
You are given 0.5 miles north (which will be the height of the right triangle), and 1.3 miles (which will be the hypotenuse of the triangle). 
Using Pythagorean Theorem: a²+b²=c², we have:
0.5² + b² = 1.3²
b = 1.3²-0.5²
b = 1.2 miles
