PLEASE HELP A boat travels downstream 10 miles and returns to the starting point in 2
hours. If the speed of the stream is 15 mph, find the speed of the boat in still
water. A. 20.81mph B. 30.24mph C.25.67 D.15mph

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 20.81 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

x = speed of the boat in still water.

one part of the trip is 10 miles downstream, where the speed of the boat and the speed of the current add together.

and the other part of the trip is the trip back the 10 miles upstream, where the speed of the current works against the speed of the boat :

10/(x + 15) + 10/(x - 15) = 2

10 + 10×(x+15)/(x-15) = 2×(x+15)

10×(x-15) + 10×(x+15) = 2×(x+15)×(x-15)

20x = 2×(x² - 225)

10x = x² - 225

0 = x² - 10x - 225

solution of a quadratic equation

x = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac)) / (2a)

a = 1

b = -10

c = - 225

(10 ± sqrt(100 - 4×1×-225)) / 2 =

= (10 ± sqrt (100 + 900)) / 2 = (10 ± sqrt(1000)) / 2 =

= (10 ± 31.62) / 2

x1 = 41.62 / 2 = 20.81 mph

x2 is negative and did not make any sense.

A person walks away from a pulley pulling a rope slung over it. The rope is being held at a height 10 feet below the pulley. Suppose that the weight at the opposite end of the rope is rising at 4 feet per second. At what rate is the person walking when s/he is 20 feet from being directly under the pulley

Answers

The image of this question is missing and so i have attached it.

Answer:

dd/dt = 4.47 ft/s

Step-by-step explanation:

From the image attached, let's denote the following;

d = horizontal distance beneath pulley

h = height of pulley

l = diagonal from the pulley to the head of the person

v = velocity of rope rising

Using pythagoras theorem;

l² = d² + h²

Differentiating with respect to time and considering h = c^(te) gives;

2l(dl/dt) = 2d(dd/dt)

We are given;

d = 20 ft

h = 10 ft

v = 4 ft/s

We know that velocity in this case is change in diagonal distance with time. Thus;

v = dl/dt = 4 ft/s

From earlier, we saw that;

2l(dl/dt) = 2d(dd/dt)

Thus, reducing it gives

(dl/dt)(l/d) = dd/dt

Now, l² = d² + h²

l = √(d² + h²)

Also, v = dl/dt = 4

Thus;

4(√(d² + h²))/d = dd/dt

4(√(20² + 10²))/20 = dd/dt

dd/dt = 4.47 ft/s

Mr. Ellington has a total of 32 students in his class , The ratio of girls to boys is 3:5, how many girls are in Mr . Ellington's class ?

Answers

Add the ratio: 3 + 5 = 8

Divide total students by that:

32/8 = 4

The ratio for girls is 3, multiply the 4 by 3:

4 x 3 = 12

There are 12 girls

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

If the ratio of girls to boys is 3:5, that means that for every 8 total students, 3 would be girls and 5 would be boys. Therefore 3/8 of the students are girls and 5/8 are boys. If 3/8 are girls, then:

[tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] of 32

= [tex]\frac{3}{8} * 32[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{3 * 32}{8} \\= \frac{96}{8} \\= 12[/tex]

There are 12 girls.

Answers

Answer:

a) 30

b)600pi

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first questions, since the arc is 240°, the area of the sector and circumference will be 240/360 or 2/3 of the total of the circles'. Therefore 125.6 x 3/2 is the circumference, which is 188.4. When we divide this by 6.28, we get 30

Now, since the area is pi r^2 where we know that r=30, we get 900pi as the area of the whole thing, however since the sector is 2/3 of the whole circle, 2/3 x 900pi = 600pi

6. Alex and Brian park their bikes side-by-side. Alex leaves to visit friends, and Brian leaves 30 minutes later,
headed for the same destination. Alex pedals 5 miles per hour slower than Brian. After 1 hour, Brian passes Alex. At
what speed are they each pedaling?

Answers

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

When Brian passes Alex they both have travelled the same distance.

Call this distance d.

Let the speed that Brian passes = x miles/hour.

Distance = speed * time  so:

For Alex:

d = (x - 5) * 1.5        ( Alex cycles for 1 + 30 minutes =  1.5 hours)

For Brian:

d = x * 1

So substituting d = x in Alex's equation:

x = 1.5(x - 5)

x = 1.5x - 7.5

7.5 = 0.5x

7/5 / 0.5 = x

15 = x.

ANSWER:

Brian's speed is 15 miles/hour.

Alex's speed is 15 - 5 = 10 miles/hour.

Triangle ABC is a right triangle.

Triangle A B C. Angle A is x degrees, B is 90 degrees, C is (x minus 10) degrees. The exterior angle to angle C is (2 x + 40) degrees.

Which equations can be used to find the value of x? Check all that apply.
x + 90 + (x minus 10) = 180
x + 90 + (2 x + 40) = 180
2 x + 80 = 180
x + 90 = 2 x + 40
(x minus 10) + 90 = 2 x + 40

Answers

Answer:

x + 90 + (x minus 10)= 180° can be used to find the value of x.

Answer:

A) X+90+ (x-10) - 180

C) 2x+80 = 180

There is 10% salt solution and a 30% salt solution. How much of each is needed to make 10L mixture that is 25% salt solution?

Answers

Answer:

2.5L of 10% salt solution and 7.5L of the 30% salt solution

Step-by-step explanation:

let the amount of L in the 10% solution be 'x'

let the amount of L in the 30% solution be '10-x'

* because they add up to a total of 10L

10%(x) + 30%(10-x) = 25%(10)

0.1x + 3 - 0.3x = 2.5

-0.2x = -0.5

x = 2.5

x =2.5

10-x = 7.5

2.5 of 10% solution and 7.5% of 30% solution

Answer:

3300cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

30cm+30cm=60cm 60cm is the lengh of the whole joint structure.We will put it in the equation as "a".

heigh stays the same(10cm) because the pieces are not stacked one on top of the other.They are joined on their sides.We will put it as "c".

Widht also stays the same.its 15 cm and we will put it as letter "b".

So

a=60cm

b=15cm

c=10cm

We need to calculate the surface area of the entire joint structure.

1.First thing to do is to calculate the top part which is:

a*b=15*60=900cm²

2.The bootom side is the same 900cm².

3.The front side is:

a*c=60*10=600cm²

4.The back side is the same as front so it is 600cm².

5.The left side is:

c*b=10*15=150cm²

6.The right side is the same as the left and it is 150cm²

Now we just add it up.

S(surface)=900*2+600*2+150*2=3300cm²

If you want the whole exercise in one equation:

S=2*(a*b)+2*(a*c)+2*(b*c)
