A motor boat travels 60 miles down a river in 3 hours but takes 5 hours to return upstream. Find the rate of the boat in still water and the rate of the current.

Answers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A motor boat travels 60 miles down a river in 3 hours but takes 5 hours to return upstream,

We know that,

Speed = distance/time

The rate while moving downstream[tex]=\dfrac{60}{3}=20\ mph[/tex]

The rate while moving upstream [tex]=\dfrac{60}{5}=12\ mph[/tex]

The rate of the boat in still water is the average of these:

[tex]v_s=\dfrac{20+12}{2}=16\ mph[/tex]

The rate of the current is the difference between the boat speed and actual speed = 16 mph - 12 mph = 4 mph

Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:

P(A or B) = 1.16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given probability:

Probability of event A = P(A) = 0.46

Probability of event B = P(B) = 0.7

P(A and B) = 0.43

Find:

P(A or B)

Computation:

If A is an incident and B is a separate event, P(A or B) is the possibility of either A, B, or both events occurring.

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B)

P(A or B) = 0.46 + 0.7

P(A or B) = 1.16

Determine the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the given line, through the given point.

y=3x+4; (9, -7)​

Answers

Answer:

The equation of the line is [tex]y + 7 = -\frac{1}{3}(x - 9)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line:

The equation of line, in point-slope form, is given by:

[tex]y - y_0 = m(x - x_0)[/tex]

In which m is the slope and the point is [tex](x_0, y_0)[/tex]

Perpendicular lines:

If two lines are perpendicular, the multiplication of their slopes is -1.

Through (9,-7)

This means that [tex]x_0 = 9, y_0 = -7[/tex]

So

[tex]y - y_0 = m(x - x_0)[/tex]

[tex]y - (-7) = m(x - 9)[/tex]

[tex]y + 7 = m(x - 9)[/tex]

Perpendicular to y = 3x + 4

This line has slope 3, so:

[tex]3m = -1[/tex]

[tex]m = -\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Thus

[tex]y + 7 = m(x - 9)[/tex]

[tex]y + 7 = -\frac{1}{3}(x - 9)[/tex]

A circle has a circumference of 28 centimeters. If an arc subtends a central angle of 55 degrees, what is the arc length?
A.4.28 centimeters
B.26.88 centimeters
C.53.76 centimeters
D.8.56 centimeters

Answers

Answer:

s = 4.28 cm (Answer A)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The formula for the circumference of a circle of radius r is C = 2(pi)r, and this corresponds to a full circle, with central angle 360 degrees.  

2) Here the circumference is 28 cm.  Therefore, solving for the radius involves the following calculation:   28 cm = 2(pi)r, or

r = (28 cm) / (2 pi), or (28 cm) / 6.28 = 4.46 cm.  

3) The arc length s = r(theta), when the central angle (theta) is 55 degrees, is (55/360) times the circumference of the circle:  (55/360)(28 cm), or

s = 4.28 cm (Answer A)

Mr. Jones lives in City A and drives at a constant speed to City B, which is 400 km 2 of the distance at that same away. On the way back to City A, Mr. Jones drives 5 constant speed. Then, because of rain, he decreases his speed by 20 km/h. The round trip takes 11 hours. How fast did Mr. Jones drive during the rainy part of his trip from City B to City A?​

Answers

Answer:

He traveled at 72km/hr during the rain

Step-by-step explanation:

Question is not well formatted. See comment

Given

[tex]d=400km[/tex] --- distance

[tex]t = 11hrs[/tex] --- total time

Let his speed from city A till the rain starts on his return trip be [tex]s_1[/tex]

Let his speed from city during the rain be [tex]s_2[/tex]

So:

[tex]s_2 = s_1 -20[/tex]

Required

Calculate [tex]s_2[/tex]

From the question, we understand that; he drives the whole 400 km and 2/5 of 400 km at [tex]s_1[/tex]

The distance covered during this period is:

[tex]d_1 = 400 + \frac{2}{5} * 400[/tex]

[tex]d_1 = 400 + 160[/tex]

[tex]d_1 = 560[/tex]

And the time during this period is:

[tex]t_1 = \frac{2}{5} * 11[/tex]

[tex]t_1 = 4.4[/tex]

So, the distance during the rain is:

[tex]d_2 = 2 * 400 - d_1[/tex]

[tex]d_2 = 2 * 400 - 560[/tex]

[tex]d_2 = 800 - 560[/tex]

[tex]d_2 = 240[/tex]

And the time during the rain is:

[tex]t_2 = 11 - t_1[/tex]

[tex]t_2 = 11 - 4.4[/tex]

[tex]t_2 = 6.6[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]d_1 = 560[/tex] --- distance covered before the rain

[tex]d_2 = 240[/tex] --- distance covered when raining

[tex]s_2 = s_1 -20[/tex]

[tex]t_1 = 4.4[/tex] ---- time spent before the rain

[tex]t_2 = 6.6[/tex] --- time spent in the rain

Speed is calculated as:

[tex]Speed = \frac{distance}{time}[/tex]

Make distance the subject

[tex]distance = speed * time[/tex]

So:

[tex]d_1 + d_2 = s_1 * t_1 + s_2 * t_2[/tex]

Recall that:

[tex]s_2 = s_1 -20[/tex]

Make [tex]s_1[/tex] the subject

[tex]s_1 = s_2 + 20[/tex]

The expression [tex]d_1 + d_2 = s_1 * t_1 + s_2 * t_2[/tex] becomes:

[tex]560 + 240 = (s_2 + 20) * 4.4 + s_2 * 6.6[/tex]

[tex]800 = 4.4s_2 + 88+ 6.6s_2[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]6.6s_2 + 4.4s_2 = 880 - 88[/tex]

[tex]11s_2 = 792[/tex]

Solve for [tex]s_2[/tex]

[tex]s_2= \frac{792}{11}[/tex]

[tex]s_2=72km/h[/tex]

The distance and time 400 km and 11 hours as well as the speed

reduction gives the speed during the rainy part as 60 km/h.

Which method can be used to find the speed in the rain?

Based on the comment in the question, we have;

Given:

Distance between City A and City B = 400 km

Distance travelled at the same speed on his way back = [tex]\mathbf{\frac{2}{5}}[/tex] of the distance

Amount by by which his speed is reduced in the remaining [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] of the distance because of rain = 20 km/h

The duration of the trip = 11 hours

Required:

How fast Mr. Jones was driving during the rainy part of his trip from City

B to City A?

Solution:

Let v represent the constant speed, we have;

[tex]Time = \mathbf{ \dfrac{Distance}{Speed}}[/tex]

The distance for which his speed is v = ([tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] + 1) × 400 km = 560 km

Total distance of the round trip = 400 km + 400 km = 800 km

The distance for which the speed = v - 20 = 800 km - 560 km = 240 km

Therefore, we have;

[tex]\mathbf{\dfrac{560}{v} + \dfrac{240}{v - 20}}= 11[/tex]

Which gives;

[tex]\mathbf{\dfrac{560 \times (v - 20) + 240 \cdot v}{v\times (v - 20) } } = 11[/tex]

11 × (v² - 20·v) = 560·v - 20 × 560 + 240·v

11·v² - 220·v - 560·v - 240·v + 11200

11·v² - 1020·v + 11,200 = 0

Using the quadratic formula, to solve the above quadratic equation we have;

[tex]v = \dfrac{1020 \pm\sqrt{(-1020)^2 - 4 \times 11 \times 11200} }{2 \times 11} = \dfrac{1020 \pm740 }{22} = \mathbf{ \dfrac{1020 \pm740 }{22}}[/tex]

v = 80 or v = [tex]12 . \overline{72}[/tex]

The possible value for the constant speed is therefore;

v = 80 km/h

The speed during the rain = v - 20, which gives;

The speed during the rain = 80 km/h - 20 km/h = 60 km/h

The pie chart below shows the percentage of total revenue that a publisher receives from various types of publications. Use this chart to answer the questions
below.

Answers

Answer:

a. Cookbooks

b. 50%

c. 30%

Step-by-step explanation:

According To the Question,

We have a total revenue of a publisher describe in a circle (360°).

a. Now, Approximately Cookbooks & Textbooks revenue Form 180°, but textbook revenue is more than cookbooks as clearly visible in the diagram

Thus, cookbooks are less than 90°.

Now, we have to find 1/5th of total publisher revenue which is 360°/5= 72°. & the Cookbooks is nearest to 72° ( less than 90°)

So, Answer For (a) is Cookbooks  

b. Here in Diagram Clearly Visible that The Cookbooks & Textbooks Revenue Form 180° which is Approximately 50% of total Publisher's Revenue.

So, the Total Revenue Comes From Textbooks & Cookbooks is 50%.

c. Now We know the Cookbooks + Textbooks Revenue form 180° Approximately & Cookbook is approximately equal to 72° (as we solve above)

So, textbooks are 180°-72° = 108°, which is 30% of 360° ∴ 30% Revenue Come From Textbooks.

X = $633.68/1.065

X= $595.00

The price of the handbag before the sales tax was added is $595

What is sale tax?

A sales tax is a tax paid to a governing body for the sales of certain goods and services. Usually laws allow the seller to collect funds for the tax from the consumer at the point of purchase.

Given that, Christine paid $633.68 for a handbag the sales tax in her state is 6.5%

Let the cost of the handbag before sales tax be x,

Therefore,

x + 6.5% of x = 633.68

x + 6.5 / 100 × x = 633.68

x(1 + 6.5 / 100) = 633.68

x(106.5 / 100) = 633.68

x = 633.68 × 100 / 106.5

x = 595

Hence, the price of the handbag before the sales tax was added is $595

santino is renting a canoe from a local shop that charges a $10 fee, plus an hourly rate of $7.50. For how long can santino rent a canoe if he pays a total of $70

Answers

Answer:

Santino rented the canoe for 8 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total bill is represented by the formula r(h) = $10 + ($7.50/hour)h,

where h is the number of hours over which the canoe is rented.

If the total bill is $70, then $70 = $10 +  ($7.50/hour)h.

Solve this for h.  Start by subtracting $10 from both sides, obtaining:

$60 =  ($7.50/hour)h.

Dividing both sides by ($7.50/hour), we get:

           $60
