A boat goes 30 km upstream and 44 km downstream in 10 hours. In 13 hours, it can go 40 km upstream and 55 km down-stream. Determine the speed of the stream and that of the boat in still water.

Answers

Answer:

Average speed of boat = 3.67 km/h

Average speed of stream = 0.63 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

30 km upstream in 10 hours gives a speed of 30/10 = 3 km/h relative speed of boat and stream

Same way, 44 km in 10 hrs = 4.4 km/h relative speed of boat and stream.

Let the speed of the stream be y

Let the speed of both be x, then

x - y = 3.... (1)

x + y = 4.4.... (2)

Subtract 1 from 2

2y = 1.4

y = 1.4/2 = 0.7 km/h

substitute value of y in 1

x - 0.7 = 3

x = 3.7 km/h

Also, 40 km upstream in 13 hrs gives speed of 3.08 km/h

55 km in 13 hrs gives 4.2 km/h

Let speed of boat be x and that of stream be y

x - y = 3.08.... (1)

x + y = 4.2..... (2)

Subtract 1 from 2

2y = 1. 12

y = 0.56 km/h

Substitute value of y in 1

x - 0.56 = 3.08

x = 3.64 km/h

Average speed of boat = (3.7 + 3.64)/2

= 3.67 km/h.

Average speed of stream = (0.7 + 0.56)/2 = 0.63 km/h

Answer:

Let the speed of boat in stream be x km/hrAnd the speed of boat in still water be y km/hr.For upstream = x - yFor downstream = x + y

5/12  - the probability that the student picks a blue marble.

1/6 - the probability that 4 is on the cube

The probability that the student picks a blue marble from the bag, and then rolls a 4

5/12 * 1/6 = 5/72

how to write 1/4 as a decimal

Answers

Answer:

0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

As a decimal, 0.25

As a fraction, 1/4

As a percentage, 25%

Answer:

0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4

= 1*25/4*25

= 25/100

(Multiplying to both numerator and denominator doesn't change the value)

Now to write 25/100 as a decimal

The decimal point goes two places to the left in 25

(Since 100 has 2 zeroes so two values back)

25/100 = .25

= 0.25

solve the system of equations using elimination 3c - 8d =7 and c + 2d = -7

Answers

Answer:

d=-2 c=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

3c-8d=7

4(c+2d=-7)

3c-8d=7

4c+8d=-28

4c+3c-8d+8d=7-28

7c=-21

c=-3

c+2d=-7

-3+2d=-7

2d=-4

d=-2

Given.

[tex](3c-8d=7)=(c+2d=-7)[/tex]

Multiply 4 to the second equation.

[tex]4(c+2d=-7)[/tex]

[tex]3c+8d=-28[/tex]

Compare the like terms.

[tex]4c+3c-8d+8d=7-28[/tex]

Solve.

[tex]7c=-21[/tex]

Divide 7 to both sides

[tex]\frac{7c}{7}=\frac{-21}{7}[/tex]

[tex]c=-3[/tex]

Substitute (-3) for c into the original second equation.

[tex]c+2d=-7[/tex]

[tex]-3+2d=-7[/tex]

Add (3) to both sides.

[tex](-3+2d=-7)+3[/tex]

[tex]2d=-4[/tex]

Divide (2) to both sides.

[tex]\frac{2d}{2}=\frac{-4}{2}[/tex]

[tex]d=-2[/tex]

make x the subject of the formula 6x+a=5(x+t)

Answers

1. Expand
6x + a = 5x + 5t
2. Get x on one side
6x - 5x = 5t - a
3. Simplify
x = 5t - a (I think)

Answer:

x= 5t - a

Step-by-step explanation:

6x + a = 5(x+t)

If you expand 5(x+t), you will get 5x + 5t

i.e. 6x + a = 5x + 5t

Add the additive inverse of 5x to both sides (The additive inverse of 5x is -5x)

i.e. 6x + a - 5x = 5x + 5t - 5x

     x + a = 5t

Then, add the additive inverse of "a" to both sides (The additive inverse of a is -a)

i.e. x + a - a = 5t - a

x = 5t - a

i) 12,-3b,......sixth term

ii) 3,-1/3,..........;8th term?

Step-by-step explanation:

1) To solve terms involving Geometric progressions (GPs), we would first state the variables that are to be incorporated in the formula.

i) 12,-3b,......;sixth term

1st term = a= 12

r = common ratio = 2nd term /1st term

r = -3b/12 = -b/4

Then we would find the nth term

See attachment for details

ii) 3,-1/3,..........;8th term

1st term = a= 3

r = common ratio = 2nd term /1st term

r = (-⅓)/3 = (-⅓)(⅓) = -1/9

Then we would find the nth term

See attachment for details

2) we are to determine the sixth term in (i) and eight term in (ii)

See attachment for details

Sixth term= (-3b^5)/256

Eight term = -1/1594323

The expressions are equivalent because Negative 3 (2) (5 minus 4) + 3 (2 minus 6) = negative 18 and Negative 12 (1) minus 6 = negative 18.

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is;

The expressions are equivalent because Negative 3 (2) (5 minus 4) + 3 (2 - 6) = negative 18 and Negative 12 (1) minus 6 = negative 18

Step-by-step explanation:

The parameters given are;

First expression 3 × X × (5 - 4) + 3 ×(X - 6)

Second expression -12 × X - 6

Therefore;

For the first expression, for all X, e have;

3 × X × 1 + 3 ×(X - 6) = -3·X  + 3·X -18 = -18

The second expression gives -12·X - 6

When both expressions are equal, we have;

-12·X - 6 = -18

∴ X = (-18 + 6)/(-12) = 1

Hence the correct option is that the expressions are equivalent because Negative 3 (2) (5 minus 4) + 3 (2 - 6) = negative 18 and Negative 12 (1) minus 6 = negative 18.

Solve:
-9(-5-3x)=21
A) 8/9
B) -8/9
C) 22/9
D) -22/9

Answers

Answer: B) -8/9

Step-by-step explanation:

I would start by looking inside the parenthesis to see if anything could be simplified. We see the terms -5 and -3x, and upon realizing that there is no way to simplify, we can go ahead and just simplify the left side of the equation as much as we can before worrying about breaking the equation down. Distribute the -9 to the -5 and the -3x (multiply -9 by -5 and -9 by -3x). Multiplying two negative numbers will result in a positive value, so the left side of your equation should end up looking like this: 45+27x=21. Now, we can start working to get the variable on its own. Subtract 45 from both sides of the equation. On the left side this cancels out and leaves you with 27x. On the right side you have more of the negative value than positive value, so you end up with -24. The equation now looks like this: 27x=24. The only thing left to do is divide the equation by 27. On the left side of the equation, this leaves you with just x. On the right side, you get -24/27. Normally at this point I would divide out to get the decimal form (I prefer working with decimals) but bc the answer choices are all fractions there's not really a good use to, so instead let's just find the greatest common denominator (GCD) which would be 8. (Just as a clarification the GCD is the largest number you can divide both numbers by evenly.) Divide both the numerator and denominator by eight leaves you with -8/9. Therefore, x= -8/9.

For there lay The Combs--the set of combs, side and back, that Della had worshipped long in a Broadway window. Beautiful combs, pure tortoise shell, with jewelled rims--just the shade to wear in the beautiful vanished hair. They were expensive combs, she knew, and her heart had simply craved and yearned over them without the least hope of possession. And now, they were hers, but the tresses that should have adorned the coveted adornments were gone. But she hugged them to her bosom, and at length she was able to look up with dim eyes and a smile and say: "My hair grows so fast, Jim! And them Della leaped up like a little singed cat and cried, "Oh, oh!" Jim had not yet seen his beautiful present. She held it out to him eagerly upon her open palm. The dull precious metal seemed to flash with a reflection of her bright and ardent spirit."Isn't it a dandy, Jim? I hunted all over town to find it. You'll have to look at the time a hundred times a day now. Give me your watch. I want to see how it looks on it." Instead of obeying, Jim tumbled down on the couch and put his hands under the back of his head and smiled."Della," said he, "let's put our Christmas presents away and keep 'em a while. They're too nice to use just at present. I sold the watch to get the money to buy your combs. And now suppose you put the chops on."

But in a last word to the wise of these days let it be said that of all who give gifts these two were the wisest. O all who give and receive gifts, such as they are wisest. Everywhere they are wisest. They are the magi.
