Let speed of the boat in still water = x miles per hour
Let speed of the current = y miles per hour
When water and current both flow in same direction then effective speed will be sum of both speeds that is (x+y)
now plug the given values in formula speed=distance/time
we get equation:
(x+y)=160/8
or x+y=20...(i)
When water and current both flow in opposite direction then effective speed will be difference of both speeds that is (x-y)
now plug the given values in formula speed=distance/time
we get equation:
(x-y)=160/40
or x-y=4
or x=4+y...(ii)
plug value of x into (i)
4+y+y=20
4+2y=20
2y=16
y=8
plug value of y into (ii)
x=4+8=12
Hence final answer is given by:
Speed of the boat in still water = 12 miles per hour
Speed of the current = 8 miles per hour
The x coordinates signs change.
6 is in the ten millions place. The number next to 6 is 1, which is less than 5, so you round down. The nearest 10 million is 60,000,000.
Uhh me neither thats very complicated
Answer:
The length of the first piece is 4 inches, that of the second is 8 inches and the third 19 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Total length of the steel = 31 inches
Let the length of the first piece = x
let the length of the second piece = y
Let the length of the third piece = z
So,
y = 2x
z = 4x + 3
x + 2x + 4x +3 = total length of the steel = 31
7x + 3 + 31
7x = 31 - 3
7x = 28
x= 4 inches
Thus; y = 2x = 2 × 4 = 8 inches
z = 4x +3 = 4×4 +3 =19 inches
∴The length of the first piece is 4 inches, that of the second is 8 inches and the third 19 inches.
