Let b and s be the velocity of the boat and stream respectively....

3(b-s)=27

b-s=9

b=9+s we will use this in the second equation....

2(b+s)=30

b+s=15, now use b found above in this to get:

9+s+s=15

2s+9=15

2s=6

s=3, and since from earlier b-s=9, b=9+s so

b=12

So the speed of the boat is 12mph and the stream is 3 mph

Derek says that the quotient of -2/7 divided by -2/21 is -1/3. Part A: What is the correct quotient? Part B: What mistake did De

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

The correct quotient is 3.

I think Derek has mistaken to divide $-\frac{2}{21}$ by $\frac{2}{7}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to check the quotient of $(-\frac{2}{7}) \textrm{ divided by }(-\frac{2}{21})$ .

Part A:

Now, $(-\frac{2}{7}) \textrm{ divided by }(-\frac{2}{21})$ .

= $\frac{-\frac{2}{7} }{-\frac{2}{21} } =3$

So, the correct quotient is 3.

Part B:

Derek says that the quotient is $-\frac{1}{3}$ .

So, I think Derek has mistaken to divide $-\frac{2}{21}$ by $\frac{2}{7}$ . (Answer)

Helpp pls????????????

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

It just means that it is not equal to each other so the equation is false.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equal sign with a line through it means that they aren't the same. -12 is a different number from 12 so they can't end up being the same in the end of the equation.

Hope this helps!

A chemist needs 2,220 ml of potassium chloride to complete an experiment. She has 2 L. How many more liters does she need?

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

0.220 L

Step-by-step explanation:

One liter is 1000 mL, so 2,220 mL is 2.220 L. Subtracting the 2 L on hand gives the additional amount required:

2.220 L - 2 L = 0.220 L

The nice thing about metric units is that conversion factors are often powers of 10, so only movement of the decimal point is required. It can be worthwhile to become familiar with the SI prefixes.
