Let V, be the rate in still water and let C = rate river current
If the boat is going :
upstream, its rate is V-C and if going
downstream, its rate is V+C,
But V = 5C, then
Upstream Rate: 5C - C = 4 C
Downstream rate: 5C+C = 6C
Time = distance/Rate, (or time = distance/speed) , then:
Upstream time 12/4C and
Downstream time: 12/.6C
Upstream time +downstream time:= 2h30 ' then:
12/4C + 12/.6C = 2.5 hours
3/C + 2/C = 5/2 (2.5 h = 5/2)
Reduce to same denominator :
5C = 10 and Rate of the current = 2 mi/h
Answer:
Look just at finding the linear model. Two points. Use price per gallon for x and gallons per hour sold for y. Your two points (x,y) are (2.15,1600) and (2.55,800).
Slope m=%281600-800%29%2F%280.15-0.55%29
m=800%2F0.40
m=2000
Using point-slope form for a line, and the lower-y point,
y-800=2000%28x-2.55%29
highlight%28y=2000%28x-2.55%29%2B800%29
Answer
Q
Step-by-step explanation:
Because the Q is on top of the 5 It is the absolute value
Answer:
15%
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up a proportion.
Cross-multiply.
Divide both sides by 90.
The discounted price is 85% of the regular price so the
discount is 15%.
