First, we determine the speed of the ferry by dividing the distance by the time it took to cover that certain distance.
speed = (1/6) / (3/7)
speed = 7/18
Then, the distance it will travel for an hour is calculated through the procedure below.
distance = (7/18hour) x (1 hour)
distance = 7/18
Therefore, after an hour, the ferry will be able to travel 7/18 of the distance between two ports.
Answer:
s= -2
Step-by-step explanation:
In multiplication, a negative times a positive has a negative answer. if both are positive or both are negative, the answer is positive.
5 * -5 = -25
-5* -5 = 25
in divisions say you have
-5/5 = -1
-5/-5= 1
5/-5= -1
in addition and subtraction, subtracting a negative means to add the two numbers. adding a negative means to subtract the second number.
5+ (-5) = 0
5- (-5) = 10
Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
Varies directly think y=kx
Varies indirectly think y=k/x
We have first option so y=kx
x=6 and y=15 means we have 15=k(6)
So k=15/6 or reducing gives=5/2
So we just found our constant of proportionality, this number never changes. It stays the same no matter what x or y they give you...
So the equation is y=5/2 *x
Now what is x if y=20
Plug in 20=5/2 *x
So x=20*2/5=40/5=8
Sue would have 21 dimes and 12 less of 21 is 9, so sue has 9 nickels
dimes: 21
nickels: 9
