Let speed of the boat in still water = x miles per hour
Let speed of the current = y miles per hour
When water and current both flow in same direction then effective speed will be sum of both speeds that is (x+y)
now plug the given values in formula speed=distance/time
we get equation:
(x+y)=160/8
or x+y=20...(i)
When water and current both flow in opposite direction then effective speed will be difference of both speeds that is (x-y)
now plug the given values in formula speed=distance/time
we get equation:
(x-y)=160/40
or x-y=4
or x=4+y...(ii)
plug value of x into (i)
4+y+y=20
4+2y=20
2y=16
y=8
plug value of y into (ii)
x=4+8=12
Hence final answer is given by:
Speed of the boat in still water = 12 miles per hour
Speed of the current = 8 miles per hour
You need to see what you need to convert and how you need to convert it, do you need to divide to find out how many it goes in? Questions like that.
-3 so top person is correct:)))))
Answer:
The slope would be 4/5
Step-by-step explanation:
y=(m)x+b and b is the slope.
Answer:
Midpoint
Step-by-step explanation:
The midpoint is the point on the segment halfway between the endpoints. It may be the case that the midpoint of a segment can be found simply by counting. If the segment is horizontal or vertical, you can find the midpoint by dividing the length of the segment by 2 and counting that value from either of the endpoints.
