Given:
t1 = 3.6 h
t2 = 4.5 h
x = speed of boat
y = speed of water
Required:
a) Expression of distance traveled with moving water with 3.6h
Expression of distance traveled with moving water with 4.5h
b) Solve for y
c) Percent of boat's speed is the water current
Solution:
Working formula: distance = velocity*time
a) For travelling downstream, we get the equation
d = (x +y)*3.6
For travelling upstream, we get the equation
d = (x-y)*4.5
b) Setting the distance as equal for travelling upstream or downstream, we arrive at the equation of
(x+y)*3.6 = (x-y)*4.5
3.6x + 3.6y = 4.5x - 4.5y
8.1y =0.9x
y = x/9
c) percentage = 1/9*100% = 11.1%
<em>ANSWERS: a) d = (x+y)*36; d = (x-y)*4.5
</em> <em>b) y = x/9
</em> <em>c) 11.1%</em>
The distance that Kirsten and Molly need to bike on their third day is obtained by subtracting the sum of the distances they have traveled after two days from the length of the entire route.
distance left = 156 miles - (64 miles + 45 miles)
= 47 miles
Thus, Kirsten and Molly need to bike 47 miles on their third day.
Answer:
3.17x10^-3
Step-by-step explanation:
Move the decimal so there is one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. The number of decimal places you move will be the exponent on the
10. If the decimal is being moved to the right, the exponent will be negative. If the decimal is being moved to the left, the exponent will be positive.
p^2 + (2p - 5)^2 = (p + 1)^2
Solve for p to find your answer.
Answer:
The value of x would be 
or 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
x tons of 10% gravel G mixture is mixed with y ton of 2% gravel G to obtain 5% gravel mixture,
Thus, gravel G in x ton + gravel in y ton = gravel G in the resultant mixture,
⇒ 0.1x + 0.02y = 0.05(x+y),
0.1x - 0.05x = 0.05y - 0.02y
0.05x = 0.03y
Now, resultant mixture is z ton,
i.e. 
From equation (1),
