boat traveled downstream a distance of 60 mi and then came right back. If the speed of the current was 6 mph and the total trip took 4 hours find the average speed of the boat relative to the water.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

7.5mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the average speed of the boat to be x mph.

Total Distance = Avg. Speed x Total Time

60 = ((x+6) + (x-6))(4)

60 = (x+6+x-6)(4)

(2x)(4)=60

2x=60/4

2x = 15

x = 15 /2

x = 7.5mph

Answer 2

Answer:

  15 +√261 ≈ 31.155 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

The time for the trip can be found by dividing the distance by the speed.

__

setup

The relation between time, speed, and distance is ...

  time = distance/speed

The speed for the downstream leg was the sum of the boat speed (b) and 6 mph. The speed for the upstream leg was the difference. So the total trip time was ...

  4 = 60/(b +6) +60/(b -6) . . . total  time is the sum of the times for the legs

__

solution

Multiplying by the product of the denominators, we have ...

  4(b +6)(b -6) = 60(b -6) +60(b +6)

  b² -36 = 30b . . . . divide by 4 and simplify

  b² -30b = 36 . . . . put in a form useful for completing the square

  (b -15)² = 36 +15² . . . . . complete the square

  b -15 = √261 . . . . . . . . take the square root (negative root is extraneous)

  b = 15 +√261 ≈ 31.155 . . . . add 15

The average speed of the boat was about 31.155 mph.

If you know this formula

tn = t1 + (n - 1)*d then you don't even have  to count how many odd numbers there are. If you don't know the formula, then you have to count how many odds there are between 1 and 25 inclusive. Just to save you the trouble, there are 13.

Givens

1 = t1

25 = tn

d = 2

Solution

25 = 1 + (n - 1)*2                 Subtract 1 from both sides?

25-1 = 1-1 + (n - 1)*2            Combine

24 = (n  -  1) * 2                   Divide by 2

24/2 = (n - 1)*2/2                

12 = n - 1                               Add 1 to both sides

12 + 1 = n - 1 + 1                     Combine

13 = n

Answer

So you have 13 cards that  will bring success.

crash test results the insurance institute for highway safety crashed the 2010 ford fusion four times at 5 miles per hour. the costs of repair for each of the four crashes were $2529,$1889,$2610,$1073 $2529,$1889,$2610,$1073
compute the mean, median, and mode cost of repair.

Answers

Answer:

We know that

The costs of repair for each of the four crashes were

$2529, $1889, $2610, $1073

Here we have to compute the mean, median, and mode cost of repair.

Mean = total cost

the no of crashes

Mean = $2529 + $1889 +$2610 +$1073

4

Mean = $2025.25

Therefore the mean = 2025.25

Then we have to find median.

Now first we have to arrange the data in ascending order (smallest to highest).

$1073,$1889,$2529,$2610

Add the two middle numbers and then divide by two, to get the average:

$1889+$2529 = $4418

Median = $4418/2 = $2209

Therefore the median = $2209

Here there is no mode cost.

Answer:

n = [tex]\frac{1}{36}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

n × 18 = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

To find the value of n we have to divide both sides by 18.

Let us solve it now.

18n = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{18n}{18}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] ÷ 18

n =  [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] ÷ 18

n = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] ÷ [tex]\frac{18}{1}[/tex]

Answers

The correct option is Option D: Yes, the graph passes the vertical line test.

The function is a relationship between two distinct sets X and set Y which can be many-one or one-one. here set X is called the domain and set Y is called the codomain.

The vertical line test states that

If we draw a straight vertical line( which is also parallel to the y-axis) and it touches the graph at only one point at all locations, then that relation is said to be a function and this relation will be also one-one.

So here in this function shown in the graph.

If we draw a vertical line parallel to the y-axis in this at any location then it crosses the graph only once. So, it passes vertical line test. And this graph is a function. Therefore option D is correct.

At the beginning of a snowstorm, Amadou had 2 inches of snow on his lawn. The snow then began to fall at a constant rate of 0.5 inches per hour. Assuming no snow was melting, how much snow would Amadou have on his lawn 4 hours after the snow began to fall? How much snow would Amadou have on his lawn after tt hours of snow falling

Answers

Answer:

4 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:

2 inches of snow on the lawnRate of snow falling = 0.5 inches per hourSnow did not melt

Let y = height of snow on the lawn

Let t = time in hours

⇒ y = 2 + 0.5t

To find how much snow is on the lawn after 4 hours of snowing, substitute t = 4 into the found equation and solve for y:

⇒ y = 2 + 0.5(4)

⇒ y = 2 + 2

⇒ y = 4 inches

Therefore, Amadou will have 4 inches of snow on his lawn after 4 hours of snow falling.

After 4 hours of continuous snowfall at a rate of 0.5 inches per hour, Amadou would have 4 inches of snow on his lawn. After t hours of snow falling at the same rate, he would have 2 + 0.5t inches of snow on his lawn.

After 4 hours of snow falling at a constant rate of 0.5 inches per hour, Amadou would have:

Snow accumulation = Initial snow + (Snowfall rate × Time)

Snow accumulation = 2 inches + (0.5 inches/hour × 4 hours)

Snow accumulation = 2 inches + 2 inches

Snow accumulation = 4 inches of snow.

After t hours of snow falling, the amount of snow on Amadou's lawn would be:

Snow accumulation = Initial snow + (Snowfall rate × Time)

Snow accumulation = 2 inches + (0.5 inches/hour × t hours)

Snow accumulation = 2 + 0.5t inches of snow.

When one event's occurrence or non-occurrence doesn't affect the occurrence or non-occurrence of another event, then such events are called independent events.

Symbolically, we have:

Two events A and B are said to be independent if we have:

P(A ∩ B) = P(A)P(B)

                    Police Officers         Firefighters

Cars               12                             3

Let  P(A) = Firefighters choose cars

P(B) = Firefighters choose Trucks

P(A ∩ B)  =  Police Officers choose cars

P(A ∩ B) = P(A)P(B)

9 children took only Plantain.
