Answer:
- boat speed: 17.25 mph
- current: 2.5 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Upstream, the speed of the current (c) subtracts from the speed of the boat (b) to give the net speed. Downstream, the speed of the current adds. We can make use of the relation ...
speed = distance/time
b-c = 29.5/2 = 14.75 . . . . . miles/hour
b+c = 59.25/3 = 19.75 . . . .miles/hour
Subtracting the first equation from the second, we get ...
(b+c) -(b-c) = 19.75 -14.75
2c = 5
c = 2.5
Then either equation can be used to find b:
b = 14.75 +c = 17.25
The speed of the boat in still water is 17.25 miles per hour; the speed of the current is 2.5 miles per hour.
Answer:
51 trees
Step-by-step explanation:
Start at one end of the 50-foot line segment.
At position 0 ft, put one tree.
Then 1 ft from 0 ft, put tree number 2.
One more foot over, at position 2 ft from the start, put tree number 3.
Notice that each tree number is one more than the number of feet.
That means at 50 ft from the stat, you put tree number 51.
Answer: 51 trees
32 players = 16 matches ( 32/2)
16 players = 8 matches ( 16/2)
8 players = 4 matches (8/2)
4 players = 2 matches ( 4/2)
2 players = 1 match
16 + 8 +4 +2 +1 = 31 matches
Answer:
-7/6
Step-by-step explanation:
I have plotted 8,10 and 2,17 on a grid and connected them with a line to help visualize the slope of the line we are trying to find.
The answer can also be written as a decimal as shown below, but it is neater to use the fraction.
