Answer: average speed is 8 km/h

Step-by-step explanation: in upstream his speed is 9 km/h -3km/h.

So his speed is 6km/h and he needs time t= s/v= 1.5 km: 6 km/h = 0.25 h

Downstream his speed is 9 km/ + 3km/h = 12km/h and time is

1.5 km:12km/h= 1/8 hours= 0.125 h

Average speed v = s/t = 3km: (0.25 + 0.125 ) h = 8 km/h

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Rowing against the current, he travels 9-3 = 6 km/h.

1.5 km × (1 h)/(6 km) = ¼ h

It takes him ¼ h to row 1.5 km upstream.

Rowing with the current, he travels 9+3 = 12 km/h.

1.5 km × (1 h)/(12 km) = ⅛ h

It takes him ⅛ h to row 1.5 km downstream.

Average speed = (3 km)/(¼+⅛ h) = 8 km/h

Find the area of each figure.<br> 10 mm<br> 15 mm<br> B mm<br> 30 mm
guapka [62]

Answer:370mm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

You would first find the area of the whole rectangle without the hole, so (15)(30)=450

Next find the area of the hole, (8)(10)=80

To find the area you must subtract the area of the hole from the rectangle.

450-80=370

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

Area of nail's head  = 28.26 millimeter² (Approx.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Head of nail is circular

Diameter of nail's head = 6 millimeter

Find:

Area of nail's head

Computation:

Radius of nail's head = Diameter / 2

Radius of nail's head = 6 / 2

Radius of nail's head = 3 millimeter

Area of circle = πr²

Area of nail's head  = πr²

Area of nail's head  = (22/7)(3)²

Area of nail's head  = (22/7)(9)

Area of nail's head  = (3.14)(9)

Area of nail's head  = 28.26 millimeter² (Approx.)

Anettt [7]
The answer to this question is "you gained profit". The amount of money you gain from selling the stocks now is higher compared to the amount you spent a year ago. The amount you gain from the shares is ($62.25) x 723 = $45006.75. The amount you spent last year is ($47.75) x 723 = $34523.25. The difference between the values is $10483.47. Thus, you gained $10483.47.
