A motorboat averages 20 miles per hour (mph) in still water. It takes the boat the same amount of time to travel 3 miles with the current as it does to travel 2 miles against the current. What is the current's rate in mph?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

4 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let :

Boat speed = 20 mph

speed of current = x mph

Distance against current = 2 miles

Distance with current = 3 miles

speed against current will be ; 20 - x

speed with current will be ; 20 + x

Time =distance / speed against time against = time with current

Solving Mathematically ;

2/(20-x )=3/(20 +x)

2(20+x )= 3( 20-x )

40+2x = 60-3x

3x +2x=20

5x=20

x = 20 / 5

x = 4 mph

Speed of current = 4 mph

Which equation represents the graph ?

Answers

Answer:

The equation of the line is;

y + 4 = 3(x + 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation of a line is;

y = mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

To get the equation, let us look at the given intercepts

We have the intercepts at the point (0,5) and (-2,-1)

We have the slope of the line as follows;

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (-1-5)/(-2-0) = -6/-2 = 3

So we have the equation as;

y = 3x + b

recall, we have the y-intercept as 5

so the complete equation is;

y = 3x + 5

Now, we can rewrite this as;

y+ 4 = 3(x + 3)

During one month, a homeowner used 300 units of electricity and 120 units of gas for a total cost of $114.00. The next month, 290 units of electricity and 150 units of gas were used for a total cost of $115.30. Find the cost per unit of gas.
$_____

Answers

Answer:

$0.15

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of electricity = xCost of gas = y

Based on the given, we have equations:

300x + 120y = 114290x + 150y = 115.30

Multiply the first equation by 29 and the second one by 30, then subtract the first equation from the second:

30*(290x) -  29(300x) + 30(150y) - 29(120y) =30(115.3) -  29(114)4500y - 3480y = 1531020y = 153y = 153/1020y = 0.15

The cost per unit of gas is $0.15

Suppose that the height (in centimeters) of a candle is a linear function of the amount of time (in hours) it has been burning. After 5 hours of burning, a candle has a height of 21.5 centimeters. After 21 hours of burning, its height is 16.7 centimeters. What is the height of the candle after 15 hours?

Answers

Answer:

The height is 18.5cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let

[tex]y =height[/tex]

[tex]x = time[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex](x_1,y_1) = (5,21.5)[/tex]

[tex](x_2,y_2) = (21,16.7)[/tex]

Required

The height after 15 hours

First, calculate the slope (m)

[tex]m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]m = \frac{16.7-21.5}{21-5}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{-4.8}{16}[/tex]

[tex]m = -0.3[/tex]

The linear equation is then calculated as:

[tex]y =m(x - x_1) + y_1[/tex]

Where

[tex]m = -0.3[/tex]

[tex](x_1,y_1) = (5,21.5)[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]y =-0.3(x - 5) + 21.5[/tex]

Open bracket

[tex]y =-0.3x + 1.5 + 21.5[/tex]

[tex]y =-0.3x + 23[/tex]

After 15 hours

[tex]x = 15[/tex]

[tex]y =-0.3*15 + 23[/tex]

[tex]y =-4.5 + 23[/tex]

[tex]y =18.5[/tex]

The height is 18.5cm

Answers

0.20 or 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

We already know that (assuming we aren't counting a car that has seats in the truck area) there are five possible spots to sit in: the driver's seat, the front passenger (famously known as "shotgun"), middle/back left passenger, middle/back right passenger, and middle/back middle passenger.

By dividing 1 from 5 (1/5) you get a 20% chance of sitting in shotgun.

Of course, the minus sign in a product can be moved around according to the associative and commutative properties of multiplication.

(8)(-5 1/4)

= (8)(-5 + -1/4)

= 8(-5) +8(-1/4)

= 8(-5) -8(1/4)

= 8(-6 +3/4)

Find the missing probability.
P(A) = 0.4; P(B) = 0.7; P(A or B)
; P(A and B) = 0.3

[tex]P(A)=0.4, P(B)=0.7, P(A\text{ and }B)=0.3[/tex]

To find:

The value of [tex]P(A\text{ or }B)[/tex].

Solution:

We know that,

[tex]P(A\text{ and }B)=P(A\cap B)[/tex]

[tex]P(A\text{ or }B)=P(A\cup B)[/tex]

It means, we have [tex]P(A)=0.4, P(B)=0.7, P(A\cap B)=0.3[/tex] and we need to find the value of  [tex]P(A\cup B)[/tex].

[tex]P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cap B)[/tex]

[tex]P(A\cup B)=0.4+0.7-0.3[/tex]

[tex]P(A\cup B)=1.1-0.3[/tex]

[tex]P(A\cup B)=0.8[/tex]

Therefore, the value of [tex]P(A\text{ or }B)[/tex] is 0.8.
