A wildlife photographer photographs a crocodile and then paddles against a river current for 6 km. Then, hoping to photograph a hippopotamus, she paddles 15 km across a lake. She paddles across the lake for one hour longer than she paddled up the river. Find the speed of the boat as she paddles the lake if the river current is 2 km/h.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

5 or 6

Step-by-step explanation:

So I did it in a different way than shown in rsm classes. I said that the speed was x-2 and x.

then I said the distance was 6 and 15. If the time taken was 1 hour more, then we can come up with this equation:

Since the time is 6/x-2 or 15/x

15/x-6/x-2=1

multiply everything to get a common denominator then cancel it out to get

(15x-30)-6x=x^2-2x

11x-30=x^2

x^2-11x+30=0

(x-5)(x-6) is factored form.

so x=5 or x=6. this means that the speed of the boat is either 5km/h or 6 km/h

Adam made note of all the bicycles and cars he could see parked or locked on a
certain city block. All the cars had exactly four wheels, and all the bicycles had exactly
two wheels. How many wheels were on the block if there were 15 bicycles and 7 cars?
How many wheels were on the block if there were x bicycles and y cars?

Answers

Answer  

68 bicycles.  

Let there be x bicycles, then there are (93 - x) tricycles.

From the given values:

2x + 3(93 - x) = 211

2x + 279 - 3x = 211

-x = 211 - 279 = -68

x = -68/-1 = 68.

Hence, the wheels were on the block if there were [tex]x[/tex] bicycles and [tex]y[/tex] cars are [tex]x=68[/tex] bicycles.

What is the simplification?

Simplification is reducing the expression/fraction/problem in a simpler form. It makes the problem easy with calculations and solving. '

Here given that,

Adam made note of all the bicycles and cars he could see parked or locked on a certain city block. All the cars had exactly four wheels, and all the bicycles had exactly two wheels.

Suppose that there are [tex]x[/tex] bicycles, then there are [tex](93 - x)[/tex] bicycles.

So,

[tex]2x + 3(93 - x) = 211\\2x + 279 - 3x = 211\\-x = 211 - 279 = -68\\x = \frac{-68}{-1}\\x= 68.[/tex]

Hence, the wheels were on the block if there were [tex]x[/tex] bicycles and [tex]y[/tex] cars are [tex]x=68[/tex] bicycles.

How to convert percent to fraction and decimal?

Percent counts the number compared to 100.

There is a fraction, containing numerator(upper value) and denominator(lower value).

So, if we have a%, that means for each 100, there are 'a' parts. If we divide each of them with 100, we get,

For each 1, there are a/100 parts.

Thus, 50% = 50/100 = 0.50 (in decimal)

There is a fraction, containing numerator(upper value) and denominator(lower value).

The mixed fraction contains a sum of whole number and a proper fraction.

(HELP MEH PLZZ)

Answers

Answer:

1 1/3 - 5/6 = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

First we will need to make a common denominator on both sides, so since we have the second side divided in six, we can do the same to the first side as shown;

1/3 = 2/6

now this will help us a lot, now all we have to do is take what we can out of the fraction (2/6) out of the first side so it is equal to 0, NOTE this is not a professional way to do it but it helps me a lot;

5/6 - 2/6 = 3/6

this makes it easy all of a sudden, cause now its in a simpler form, we can tell this because we know that 3/6 is equal to 1/2, so now all we have to do is take 1/2 from our 1 that we are left over with, and VWOLA;

1 - 1/2 = 1/2

GRAND TOTAL;

1 1/3 - 5/6 = 1/2

(note: the space between the 1 and the 1/3 indicates that they are two separate numbers, so you dont have to put the 'and' there)

Rule: multiply by 2 Pattern: 3,6,12,24,48 Observation: Observation = something similar about the numbers

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

This numerical sequence corresponds to a geometric progression, which occurs when there is a multiplication of the sequence numbers for a common reason whose result will always be the successor number of the numerical sequence.

Like for example:

3,6,12,24,48

The common reason for the geometric progression is the number 2, so the first term of the sequence multiplied by 2 will be equal to the second term of the sequence and so on:

3x2 = 6

6x2 = 12

12x2 = 24

24x2 = 48

It is necessary to emphasize that the ratio of a geometric progression will always be constant and will always be a number other than zero.

Which is the best first step when solving the following system of equations?
5C+40= 10
3C+2d=16

Answers

Answer:

multiply the second equation by - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

5c + 4d = 10 → (1)

3c + 2d = 16 → (2)

Multiplying (2) by - 2 and adding to (1) will eliminate d

- 6c - 4d = - 32 → (3)

Add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate d

- c + 0 = - 22

- c = - 22 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

c = 22

Substitute c = 22 into either of the 2 equations and solve for d

Substituting into (2)

3(22) + 2d = 16

66 + 2d = 16 ( subtract 66 from both sides )

2d = - 50 ( divide both sides by 2 )

d = - 25

solution is c = 22, d = - 25

-2 would be your answer

Un escalador sube 225m de altura. El asenso lo hizo en 3 etapas. En la primera subio un quinto en la, en la tercera un cuarto. ¿cuanto hizo en la segunda?

Answers

Answer:

Segunda etapa= 123.75 metros

Step-by-step explanation:

Altura total= 225 metros

En la primera estapa subió el 20% (un quinto):

Primera etapa= 225*0.2= 45 metros

En la tercera etapa subió 25% (un cuarto):

Tercera etapa= 225*0.250 56.25 metros

Ahora debemos determinar cuánto subió en la segunda etapa:

Segunda etapa= altura total - total subido

Segunda etapa= 225 - (45 + 56.25)

Segunda etapa= 123.75 metros
