Answer: 45\ mph,  5\ mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

A motorboat takes 5 hours to travel 200 miles upstream and 4 hours to go downstream

Suppose the speed of motorboat in still water and rate of current be x and y respectively.

during upstream

\Rightarrow 5=\dfrac{200}{x-y}\\\\\Rightarrow x-y=40\quad \ldots(i)

During downstream

\Rightarrow 4=\dfrac{200}{x+y}\\\\\Rightarrow x+y=50\quad \ldots(ii)

Add (i) and (ii) we get

\Rightarrow 2x=90\\\Rightarrow x=45\ mph

\therefore y=5\ mph

Thus, the speed of boat in still water is 45\ mph and rate of current is 5\ mph

Since 4x=28,
x = 28/4 = 7
sub. x = 7 into the eqn,
29-5x = 29-5(7) = 29-35 = -6

Name the line and plane shown in the diagram. A.AB and plane ABD B.BA and plane DC C.AC and plane ABD D.AB and plane DA
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer: The line is AB and the plane is ABD, the first option is the correct one.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, first some definitions.

A line is any line that crosses two colinear points. Particularly, you can see in the graph that the line crosses through A and B, so the line is AB.

A plane needs 3 non-colinear points (if the points where colinear, then the points may define a line). Other definition of plane is "a line and a point that is not in the line"

So, if our line is AB, then the possible planes are:

ABC and ABD.

then the correct option is:

Line AB and plane ABD, so the correct option is the first one.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Bag A contains 9(5/9) pounds of coffee

Bag B contains 9(2/3) pounds of coffee

Which bag contains less coffee?

          ( 2/3) is the same as (6/9)

Now that the denominators are the same, if we compare the numerators, 5 is less than 6 (5 parts of 9 is less than 6 parts of 9)

Bag A contains less coffee than bag B

9(5/9) < 9(2/3)

A)   0.73

B) 21.93

C) 7.67
